Next, the display contents of the display unit 32 in the image forming apparatus 10 of the present embodiment will be described.

First, FIG. 4 shows an example of the display contents of the display unit 32 in the image forming apparatus 10 of the present embodiment.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, the display contents when setting the transmission of a new e-mail are shown. Here, the scroll bar 41 is displayed at the right end in the display unit 32. By operating the scroll bar 41 up and down, a scroll operation is performed so that the display range of the display unit 32 is moved so that the hidden display contents are displayed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the screen for setting a new e-mail transmission setting is longer in the vertical direction than the display area of the display unit 32, so that only a part of the screen is displayed on the display unit 32. It is displayed. Then, by operating the scroll bar 41 displayed in the display area of the display unit 32, the user can display the place to be operated on the display unit 32 and perform various operations for setting a new e-mail transmission. Can be done.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the display area of the display unit 32 is composed of the visible range 43 and the invisible range 42, and the display content within the visible range 43 is displayed on the display unit 32.

In addition, the screen of the new e-mail transmission setting includes a destination address display area 50 for displaying a list of destination addresses (destination addresses) of the input e-mail.

Since the destination address display area 50 is an area of a certain size, as shown in FIG. 7, when a plurality of destination addresses to be displayed are arranged and displayed, all the destination addresses are displayed. When the destination address cannot be displayed, the display area is such that only a part of a plurality of destination addresses is displayed.

A scroll bar 51 is also provided at the right end of the destination address display area 50, and by operating the scroll bar 51 in the vertical direction, the display range is moved to display the hidden destination address. Can be done.

Next, an operation when the user changes the arrangement order of the destination addresses in the destination address display area 50 will be described. For example, when sending the same e-mail to multiple people in a company, if the destination addresses of the people with higher positions are arranged in the highest possible order, change the order of the entered destination addresses. Operation is required.

When changing the arrangement order of the destination addresses in this way, first, as shown in FIG. 8, a drag operation is performed by long-pressing and selecting the destination address to be moved by the finger 70. FIG. 8 shows a case where the address “aaa@bbb.co.jp” is selected.

Then, the user moves the destination address to that position by releasing the selected destination address at the position to be moved (drop operation), but the position to be moved is not displayed in the destination address display area 50. , It is necessary to perform scroll operation to display the position you want to move.

Here, in the destination address display area 50, as shown in FIG. 9, scroll areas 61 and 62 are set at the upper end and the lower end, respectively. For example, the scroll area (specific area) in the destination address display area 50 is set to an area within 20 pixels, which is a preset distance from the upper and lower ends of the destination address display area 50.

The specific area referred to here is an area in which an instruction to control the display unit is given to move the corresponding area when the operation of moving the movement target (destination address) into the area is received.

A scroll operation using such scroll areas 61 and 62 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 10A, the control unit 31 displays the destination address when the upper end of the selected destination address enters the scroll area 61 set at the upper end of the destination address display area 50. The display unit 32 is controlled so that the display range of the area 50 moves upward, that is, the display unit 32 performs a scrolling operation such that the displayed destination address moves downward.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, the control unit 31 receives a destination when the lower end of the selected destination address enters the scroll area 62 set at the lower end of the destination address display area 50. The display unit 32 is controlled so that the display range of the address display area 50 moves downward, that is, the display unit 32 performs a scrolling operation such that the displayed destination address moves upward.

In the present embodiment, the case where the scrolling operation in the vertical direction is performed will be described, but the present invention can be applied even when the scrolling operation in the horizontal direction is performed by the same method.

In such a case, the scroll area is set to an area within a preset distance from the left and right edges of the display. Then, when the left end of the selected display target enters the scroll area set at the left end of the display area, the display range of the display area moves to the left, and the right end of the selected display target is the display area. When entering the scroll area set at the right end, control is performed so that the display range of the display area moves to the right.

That is, the destination address display area (first display area) 50 displays one or a plurality of destination addresses (display targets), and the selected destination address is a predetermined scroll area (specific area). This is a display area in which the display range moves so that the invisible area can be seen when the area is moved to.

In this way, the display unit 32 displays the destination address display area 50 and the display area (second display area) in which a part of the area including the destination address display area 50 is the invisible range 42.

Next, in the destination address display area 50 displayed in the display unit 32 of the image forming apparatus 10 of the present embodiment, an operation when changing the arrangement order of the destination addresses will be described with reference to the drawings.

Here, as shown in FIG. 11, in a state where the scroll area 62 in the destination address display area 50 is included in the invisible range 42 in the display area of the display unit 32, the destination address in the destination address display area 50 The case of changing the arrangement order by moving is described.

The control unit 31 is displayed in the destination address display area 50 in a state where the scroll area of the destination address display area 50 is included in the invisible range 42 in the display area of the display unit 32 and is hidden. When an operation of selecting a destination address and attempting to move is performed, the display unit 32 is controlled so that the scroll area is displayed by changing the invisible range 42 in the display area of the display unit 32.

Specifically, first, as shown in FIG. 11, the user selects and starts moving by long-pressing the destination address "aaa@bbb.co.jp" to be moved by the finger 70. The method of selecting the destination address to be moved is not limited to such a long press, and if it is an operation that can detect that the destination address has been selected, single touch or double The destination address may be selected by another operation such as touch.

Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the destination address "aaa@bbb.co.jp" selected by the user is moved downward in an attempt to move to the lower arrangement order, and the lower end of the selected destination address and the lower end of the selected destination address. It is assumed that the distance between the visible range 43 and the boundary line of the invisible range 42 is equal to or less than a predetermined value.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the display area of the display unit 32 starts the scrolling operation, so that the visible range 43 gradually moves and the lower display content is displayed.

In this way, the control unit 31 selects and moves the destination address to be displayed in the destination address display area 50, so that the distance to the invisible range 42 of the display area of the display unit 32 is a predetermined value. In the following cases, the display unit 32 is controlled so that the scroll area 62 in the destination address display area 50 is displayed by gradually moving the invisible range 42 in the display area of the display unit 32. That is, the control unit 31 changes the display content of the display area of the display unit 32 based on the movement operation for the destination address to be displayed so that the scroll area 62 in the destination address display area 50 is displayed. The display unit 32 is controlled.

Then, as shown in FIG. 14, the entire destination address display area 50 is within the visible range 43, and the scroll area 62 of the destination address display area 50 is also displayed. If the user-selected destination address continues to move downward in this state, the lower end of the selected destination address "aaa@bbb.co.jp" enters the scroll area 62 of the destination address display area 50. become.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15, the scroll operation is started in the destination address display area 50, the display range moves downward, and the other displayed destination addresses move upward.

In this state, the user continues the scrolling operation until the location to be moved is displayed, and when the location to be moved is displayed, the user releases the selected destination address (performs a drop operation). The movement to the desired position will be executed.

For comparison, if the scrolling operation as described above is not performed, the destination address "aaa@bbb.co.jp" is selected and moved downward from the state shown in FIG. The operation when this is done will be described.

In such a case, first of all, the user needs to move the scroll bar 41 of the display unit 32 downward to display the scroll area 62 of the destination address display area 50 on the display unit 32. Then, after that, the destination address "aaa@bbb.co.jp" is selected, and the lower end of the selected destination address "aaa@bbb.co.jp" is moved to the displayed scroll area 62 twice. It is necessary to perform the operation of.

On the other hand, according to the operation method of the present embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 15, the user can set the destination address "aaa@bbb.co.jp" without operating the scroll bar 41. You can move it to the desired position.

In the present embodiment, the case where scroll display is performed up and down in one screen of new e-mail transmission has been described, but the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and a plurality of continuous e-mails are not limited to this. Similarly, it can be applied to a configuration in which a screen exists and a selected display target is moved, and the screen transitions between the plurality of screens. In such a configuration, when an attempt is made to move a selected display target in a certain screen and the display target falls within a predetermined range set at the upper end or the lower end (or the left end or the right end) in the screen, the other screen is displayed. Control is performed so as to transition.

Further, in the present embodiment, the distance to the invisible range 42 of the display area of the display unit 32 is set to be equal to or less than a predetermined value by selecting and moving the destination address to be displayed in the destination address display area 50. In the case where the scroll operation is performed so that the invisible range 42 in the display area of the display unit 32 gradually moves, the present invention is limited to the case where such control is performed. It's not a thing.

For example, when the display target selected by the user is moved to the boundary of the display area in the direction to be moved, it is possible to control the movement of the invisible range in the display area.

Further, the timing at which the control for moving the invisible range is performed may be before the selected display target reaches the display area boundary in the direction to be moved.

Further, it is also possible to control the invisible range to move at the timing when the display target to be moved is selected.

Further, it is also possible to control the invisible range to move at the timing when the display target to be moved is selected and the movement in a certain moving direction starts.

When performing such control, for example, when the display target is selected and moved even a little while the display area is stuck on the upper side and scrolling upward cannot be performed, the display area is displayed. The invisible range may be moved.

However, even when such control is performed, for example, when the display target is selected and moved while scrolling in both the up and down directions is possible, the invisible range of the display area is only slightly moved. Since it may be different from the user's intention to move the invisible range, wait for the display target to approach the display area boundary in the direction to be moved before moving the invisible range.

Further, in the present embodiment, control is performed so that the destination address is moved to the destination address display area 50 when the destination address is moved to the scroll areas 61 and 62 which are specific areas. The case has been described. However, the present invention can be applied even when the moving target is the scroll bar 51. For example, in the state shown in FIG. 9, when the scroll bar 51 is selected and an attempt is made to move downward, the place to be moved is included in the invisible area and is hidden, so that the scroll bar 51 cannot be moved. ..

In such a case, when the scroll bar 51 approaches the boundary area to be displayed, the invisible area of the display area moves so that the hidden area (the area below the scroll bar 51) can be seen and scrolled. It is possible to move the bar 51 to that area.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, the information processing apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

In the first embodiment, the case where the scroll area 62 of the destination address display area 50 is hidden by the display area of the display unit 32 in the image forming apparatus 10 has been described.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, for example, on a display screen of a notebook computer (personal computer) or the like, the scroll area 62 of the destination address display area 50 is hidden by the display area 80. This case will be described. In this example, since the display area 80 is displayed in the foreground at the position, it is considered that the hidden state is not resolved even if the scroll area 62 is selected.

First, as shown in FIG. 16, the user presses and holds the destination address "aaa@bbb.co.jp" to be moved by the finger 70 to select and start the movement.

Then, as shown in FIG. 17, the destination address "aaa@bbb.co.jp" selected by the user is moved downward in an attempt to move to the lower arrangement order, and the lower end of the selected destination address and the lower end of the selected destination address. It is assumed that the distance from the display area 80 is equal to or less than a predetermined value.

Then, as shown in FIG. 18, the display area 80 gradually moves downward by starting the scrolling operation.

Then, as shown in FIG. 19, the entire destination address display area 50 is displayed, and the scroll area 62 of the destination address display area 50 is also displayed. When the destination address selected by the user continues to move downward in this state, as shown in FIG. 19, the lower end of the selected destination address "aaa@bbb.co.jp" is the destination address display area 50. It will be in the scroll area 62.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 20, the scrolling operation is started in the destination address display area 50, the display range moves downward, and the other displayed destination addresses move upward.

Although the case where the display area 80 gradually moves downward has been described in FIG. 18, the display area is displayed when the distance between the lower end of the selected destination address and the display area 80 is equal to or less than a predetermined value. It is also possible to control so that the 80 moves at once and the scroll area 62 of the destination address display area 50 is displayed.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the display area 80 is gradually moved as an example of changing the invisible range of the display area 80 when the selected destination address is moved has been described, but the present invention has been described. It is not limited to such control. For example, by changing the shape of the display area 80 or making the area other than the outer frame transparent without moving the display area 80, the hidden scroll area 62 appears, and the destination address display area 50 and the display area 50 are displayed. The selected destination address may be moved to the area where 80 overlaps. Here, as an example of changing the shape of the display area 80, various changes in the shape such as the size of the display area 80 becoming smaller and a part of the scroll area 62 being bent so as to be visible can be considered. Be done.
