  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, the configuration of an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an appearance of an embodiment of an information processing apparatus to which a display control method of the present invention is applied. In the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus is realized as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants) including a display (touch display) with a built-in touch sensor.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the PDA 10 includes a display 15 with a built-in touch sensor. The display 15 can select the content of the displayed screen by touching the surface with a finger 12 or a touch pen. Moreover, it has the communication function mentioned later, and can connect to networks, such as the internet. With this communication function, data such as a moving image downloaded from an external network can be displayed. Further, by performing a touch operation, data such as a displayed moving image can be manipulated. That is, the display size can be changed, such as playback, stop, fast forward, and rewind of a moving image. When changing the display size of a moving image, for example, by touching the vicinity of the outer frame of the displayed moving image, an arrow for changing the display size is displayed, and the displayed arrow can be touched. It is done by moving it. Furthermore, when playing, stopping, fast-forwarding, and rewinding a moving image, the operation menu 200 displayed along with the moving image is realized by a touch operation. That is, in the case of reproducing a moving image, the reproduction button is pressed (touch operation), and in the case of stopping, the stop button is pressed (touch operation). Also, fast-forwarding and rewinding of a moving image is realized by moving the scroll bar 201 while being pressed by a touch operation and performing an operation of separating the touch operation at a desired position.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the main configuration of the PDA that is the information processing apparatus of this embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the PDA 10 includes a CPU 14, a display 15, a memory 16, a communication unit 17, and the like.

  The CPU 14 is a control device that comprehensively controls various devices of the PDA 10. Various applications such as an OS (operating system) and a display control application program 100 (hereinafter also referred to as a display control application) stored in the storage medium 18 are loaded into the memory 16 for control. The memory 16 is a storage medium such as a flash memory that temporarily stores data. The display 15 is a touch panel display device incorporating a touch sensor controller. It is possible to perform processing such as selecting a predetermined area on the display in response to a user's finger or touch pen pressing, touching a predetermined location to execute a program, or operating an application program. . The storage medium 18 stores an OS, various applications, a built-in dictionary, and the like, and is a nonvolatile storage medium having a larger capacity than the memory 16 such as an HDD or a flash memory. The communication unit 17 is a connection interface for connecting to the Internet or the like, and is a 3G module such as a wireless LAN function or a mobile phone.

  Next, the functional configuration of the display control application 100 will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG.

  The display control application 100 includes a detection control unit 101, a display selection unit 102, an execution unit 103, and a storage unit 104. The detection control unit 101 detects pressing of the user's finger 12 or a touch pen. The display selection unit 102 performs detection processing when a moving image or the like (display information) is selected by the user's finger 12 or a touch pen. Also, processing such as highlighting (highlighting) display of the selected moving image or the like is performed. Furthermore, the process which detects the separation | separation from the touch panel (indicator) of a touch operation is performed. When the separation is detected, it is determined that the touch operation (first touch operation) is completed.

  When the separation from the indicator by the first touch operation is detected, the execution unit 103 creates a second layer that displays the same display information as that of the moving image or the like on the first layer region. As for the second layer, the display layer other than the display information display region is the second layer as a transparent display region so that the display of the first layer region is displayed through the second layer. Create That is, in the second layer, only display data such as the selected moving image is displayed, and the other areas are transparent (described later). Further, the execution unit 103 displays the display displayed on the second layer when the display information selection operation by the second touch operation on the display information displayed on the second layer region is detected by the display selection unit 102. The information is set in a movable state, and the display information displayed on the second layer is moved to the position where the separation from the touch panel (indicator) by the second touch operation is detected. Note that the second layer is in a movable state means that the second layer can move so as to be shifted on the first layer to which the second layer is fixed. Note that the first layer is fixed and does not move. Furthermore, by selecting data such as another moving image, the third layer, the fourth layer,... Can be displayed and moved in an overlapping manner. Layers other than the first layer are movable. In addition, the information displayed in each layer is only data such as the selected moving image, and the other areas of each layer are transparent, so that the information in the lower layer is displayed transparently. (Described later).

  The storage unit 104 stores an OS, a display control application, creation information of each layer, and the like. As for the creation information of each layer, for example, for data such as moving images displayed on each selected layer, the distribution source of each information is determined. The URL of the distribution source of this information is stored. For example, data such as moving images having the same URL are grouped. Data such as a plurality of grouped moving images is managed in an integrated manner. For example, grouped data such as a plurality of moving images is first redisplayed (reloaded) all at once for synchronization. Furthermore, when moving, the data such as a plurality of grouped moving images can be moved together. Moreover, grouping can also be canceled arbitrarily by the user.

  Next, a display control method to which the information processing apparatus of this embodiment is applied will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, the PDA 10 is activated, and the display control application 100 is activated by the CPU 14 and loaded into the memory 16 (step S101). Next, the CPU 14 detects range selection by the first touch operation on the touch panel (step S102). For example, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the CPU 14 detects the range selection by the first touch operation on the touch panel, and moves the outer frame 202 of the moving image 210 displayed on the display 15 to the user's finger 12. To detect a movement (first touch operation) without moving away after the touch operation. In step S102, when the CPU 14 detects range selection by the first touch operation on the touch panel (YES in step S102), the separation of the first touch operation is detected (step S103). For example, as shown in FIG. 7, after detecting the range selection by the first touch operation, the user's finger 12 moves away from the touch panel (the selected moving image or the like is highlighted and the moving image is displayed to the user). Indicates that was selected). If the CPU 14 determines in step S103 that the separation of the first touch operation has been detected (YES in step S103), a second layer is created (step S104). This second layer is a display area other than the area for displaying data (display information) such as moving images (so that the display of the first layer area is displayed to the user through the second layer). ), Creating a second layer as a transparent display area. That is, in the second layer, only display data such as the selected moving image (data such as a moving image) is displayed, and the other areas are transparent. Note that the moving image displayed on the second layer is given a reference numeral as a moving image 201-2 in order to be distinguished from the moving image 210 displayed on the first layer.

  Next, the CPU 14 detects whether the moving image (display data) 210-2 displayed on the created second layer has been selected by the second touch operation (step S105). For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when a second touch operation is performed on the moving image 210-2 displayed on the second layer and a predetermined time elapses while being touched, the second layer is moved onto the second layer. It is assumed that the displayed moving image 210-2 is selected. If it is determined in step S105 that the moving image 210-2 displayed on the second layer has been selected by the CPU 14 (YES in step S105), the moving image displayed on the second layer is made movable. (Step S106). The state in which the second layer is movable means that the second layer can be moved so as to be shifted on the first layer to which the second layer is fixed. When the CPU 14 detects the separation from the touch panel of the second touch operation (YES in step S107), the CPU 14 detects the second touch operation from the touch panel (indicator) at the position where the separation from the touch panel (indicator) is detected. A process of moving the moving image 210-2 displayed on the layer is performed (step S108). For example, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the moving image 210-2 displayed on the second layer is moved by moving the second layer so as to be shifted on the first layer. Note that the moving image 210 displayed on the first layer does not move. Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, the user can access another site 220 and display it on the first layer by operating the display on the first layer.

  Similarly, as shown in FIG. 1, as described above, the range selection is performed by the first touch operation on the moving image operation menu 200. Since a layer is created every time a range is selected, in this case, a third layer is created. Thereafter, the movement is performed by the second touch operation. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the operation menu 200-2 displayed on the third layer can be moved. When the separation from the touch panel of the second touch operation is detected, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, the operation menu 200-2 displayed on the third layer is moved to the position where the separation is detected. The

  For example, when a layer is created, the CPU 14 assigns “0001” as the identification number of the cutout information to the moving image 210-2. When a layer is created, the CPU 14 assigns “0002” as the identification number of the cutout information to the moving image 200-2. Further, the URLs from which the moving images 210-2 and 200-2 are distributed are http: //www.***.co.jp/123.wmv and http: //www.***. It is co.jp/123.htm. The allocated information is stored in the storage medium 18 as table data as shown in FIG. 13, for example. In addition, coordinate information from which data such as each moving image is cut out is also recorded. For example, moving images 210-2 and 200-2 are respectively (10,2), (120,10), (2,120), (120,120), (120,2), (120,120), (125,2), Stored as (125,120). Cutout (for example, creation of the second layer) is performed according to this data.

  In this case, the CPU 14 determines that the data such as moving images are the same distribution source (http: //www.***.co.jp) and groups them. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the moving images 210-2 and 200-2 are managed as a group 1. Data such as a plurality of grouped moving images is managed in an integrated manner. For example, grouped data such as a plurality of moving images is first redisplayed (reloaded) all at once for synchronization. By performing reloading, it is possible to synchronize the acquisition time of data such as moving images. Furthermore, when moving, the data such as a plurality of grouped moving images can be moved together. Moreover, grouping can also be canceled arbitrarily by the user. Even after grouping, each layer individually receives display information from the distribution source and displays it on each layer.

  Furthermore, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, a file storing the display form of each layer can be created and saved as an arrangement information file. By calling this arrangement information file, the user does not need to perform the same extraction process every time.

  In the above-described embodiment, the cut-out process for data such as a moving image displayed on a browser distributed from a predetermined URL has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention can be applied to display information displayed on any application program, not limited to a browser. In addition, the extracted data such as moving images can be transformed into a desired size. In addition, the extracted data such as a moving image can be enlarged or reduced.

  According to this embodiment, information such as a moving image displayed on a display device including a touch panel can be cut out in an arbitrary range and easily arranged at a desired position. Also, information can be displayed efficiently in an information processing apparatus having a small display. Furthermore, by storing and recalling display information dedicated to the user, the canvas can be used exclusively by the user at any time, and the operability is enhanced and the operation can be performed intuitively.
