In the example shown in FIG. 3, the control section 30 includes a reception section 31 and a display control section 32.

For example, the reception unit 31 receives a predetermined operation for any content from the user U on the top page of the portal site. The content is, for example, an icon that displays simple information such as a weather forecast or fortune telling. The predetermined operation includes, for example, a swipe operation from within the range of the icon to outside the range of the icon, that is, an operation corresponding to a mode of turning the date. Further, the predetermined operation includes, for example, a swipe operation from one corner of the icon to another corner located diagonally to the corner of the icon, that is, an operation equivalent to turning a page. Further, the predetermined operation includes, for example, a swipe operation within the range of the icon in the left-right direction or the up-down direction, that is, an operation equivalent to rotating a cube. In the following description, the mode of turning a day is also expressed as a day-turning type, the mode of page turning is also expressed as a page-turning type, and the mode of rotating a cube is also expressed as a cube type. Further, as the predetermined operation, a flick operation may be accepted instead of a swipe operation.

Among the swipe operations, operations corresponding to the page turning mode and operations corresponding to the mode of rotating the cube are operations that change the information of the icon to "information about advancing the element" depending on the direction of the swipe operation. There is an operation to change the information of the icon to "information that returned the element". Here, the elements include a time axis, multiple pieces of information, and the like. In other words, the reception unit 31 performs an operation to advance the time axis, an operation to return the time axis, an operation to display new information among other information belonging to the same type, and an operation to change the information of the icon to the same type by the swipe operation. Accepts an operation to display information that has been displayed once among other belonging information. That is, in the swipe operation, when the element is of a time-varying type, the first direction is an operation to advance the time axis, and the second direction, which is the opposite direction to the first direction, is an operation to move the time axis back.

In addition, when the element is a type change type that switches multiple types of information, the swipe operation is an operation in which the first direction displays the next information (new information) among other information, and the first direction and The second direction, which is the opposite direction, is an operation for displaying previous information (information that has been displayed once) among other information. In addition, in the type change type, for example, if multiple pieces of information are displayed in order from the beginning and the last is displayed, the display may be displayed in a cycle such as returning to the beginning, or when advancing or returning, the first Information that has been displayed once (information that follows the information that is being displayed) may be displayed again even in the direction of . In other words, whether it is a time-varying type or a type-varying type, in a page-turning type or cube type in which elements can be moved forward or backward, the information to be displayed out of multiple pieces of information arranged in order is It may also be possible to arbitrarily move forward or backward by a swipe operation.

Among the various operations received, the reception unit 31 transmits operation information related to the operation, such as selecting an icon or a link, to the information processing device 100 via the communication unit 11 and the network N.

When the application of the portal site is started by the user U, the display control unit 32 displays the top page screen of the portal site. Note that the terminal device 10 transmits execution information of the application to the information processing device 100 via the communication unit 11 and the network N when the application is started. The display control unit 32 displays the top page screen of the portal site based on content data corresponding to the received application execution information. That is, the display control unit 32 displays a plurality of contents (icons) including different types of information side by side on the top page.

When the reception unit 31 receives a swipe operation as a predetermined operation, the display control unit 32 changes the information included in the icon corresponding to the received swipe operation to other information belonging to the type of the icon and displays the changed information. The display control unit 32 changes the currently displayed information to other information and displays the icon to be operated in a manner corresponding to the swipe operation. For example, if the swipe operation corresponds to a day-to-day mode, the display control unit 32 changes the information being displayed in a day-to-day mode to other information and displays it. Further, for example, if the swipe operation corresponds to a page turning mode, the display control unit 32 changes the information being displayed in the page turning mode to other information and displays it. Further, for example, if the swipe operation corresponds to a manner of rotating a cube, the display control unit 32 changes the information being displayed to other information in a manner of rotating the cube and displays the information.
