Further, a touch sensor 120d is provided on a side surface in the short side direction of the housing 102 and on a fourth side surface substantially parallel to the second side surface of the housing 102.

  The touch sensor 120 can detect that the touch sensor 120 is touched. Further, the touch sensor 120 can detect a position where the touch sensor 120 is touched. Further, the touch sensor 120 can detect a change in a position where the touch sensor 120 is touched. For example, when the user performs a slide operation on the touch sensor 120, the touch sensor 120 can detect the start position, direction, and end position of the slide operation.

  For example, the touch sensor 120 is a capacitive touch sensor. In this case, the touch sensor 120 can detect the position where the touch sensor 120 is touched and the conversion of the position by detecting a change in the surface charge. Note that the touch sensor 120 may be a touch sensor of a type other than the capacitive type, such as a resistive film type.

  The display unit 110 displays window depth information 112 indicating the depth of the window. For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the window depth information 112 includes five bar-shaped icons and indicates that five windows are opened. In the example shown in FIG. 1, in the window depth information 112, the rightmost icon among the five icons is displayed in a color different from the other icons, and the window of the first layer is displayed on the display unit 110. Is displayed.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a functional configuration of the mobile phone 100. The mobile phone 100 further includes a control unit 200, a direction sensor 202, and a window depth storage unit 204 in addition to the display unit 110 and the touch sensor 120 described in FIG.

  When the touch sensor 120 detects a user's contact, the control unit 200 displays a window associated with the position of the touch sensor 120 where the user's contact is detected among the plurality of windows displayed on the display unit 110. Is controlled according to the user's contact. Specifically, the control unit 200 controls the window displayed closest to the position where the user's contact is detected among the plurality of windows displayed on the display unit 110.

  When the touch sensor 120 detects a plurality of touches of the user, the control unit 200 may control a window displayed closest to the position where the touch of the user is detected for each touch of the user. .

  The control unit 200 may perform different types of control on the window according to the type of contact with the touch sensor 120 that has detected contact. For example, the type of contact includes pressing and sliding.

  When detecting that the touch sensor 120 is pressed, the control unit 200 may perform different types of control on the window according to the pressing pattern. For example, the control unit 200 performs different types of control on the window depending on when the touch sensor 120 is pressed once, when continuously detected a plurality of times, and when a long press is detected. May be.

  When the control unit 200 detects a slide to the touch sensor 120, the control unit 200 may perform different types of control on the window according to the slide direction. For example, the control unit 200 may perform different types of control on the window depending on whether the touch sensor 120 detects a slide in the short direction or a slide in the longitudinal direction.

  For example, the control unit 200 may change the size of the window when the slide to the touch sensor 120 in the longitudinal direction is detected. On the other hand, when detecting a slide in the short direction toward the touch sensor 120, the control unit 200 may change the window to be displayed to another window.

  The control unit 200 may perform different types of control on the window depending on whether contact with one touch sensor 120 is detected or contact with another touch sensor 120 is detected. For example, the control unit 200 is provided when a contact with the touch sensor 120 a and the touch sensor 120 c provided on the side surface in the longitudinal direction of the housing 102 is detected and on the side surface in the short side direction of the housing 102. Different types of control may be performed on the window depending on when contact with the touch sensor 120b and the touch sensor 120d is detected.

  For example, when the control unit 200 detects contact with the touch sensor 120a and the touch sensor 120c provided on the side surface in the longitudinal direction of the housing 102, the control unit 200 may change the size of the window. On the other hand, when contact with the touch sensor 120b and the touch sensor 120d provided on the side surface in the short direction of the housing 102 is detected, the enlargement ratio of the screen displayed in the window may be changed.

  When the contact to the plurality of touch sensors 120 is detected at the same time, the control unit 200 may perform different types of control on the window according to the combination of the plurality of touch sensors 120 that have detected the contact. For example, the control unit 200 detects the contact with the touch sensor 120a, detects the contact with the touch sensor 120c, and detects the contact with the touch sensor 120a and the touch sensor 120c at the same time. Different types of control may be performed on

  When the touch sensor 120 detects a change in the contact position of the user, the control unit 200 may change the size of the window by moving the position of the window frame in accordance with the change in the contact position. In this case, the control unit 200 may change the size of the window while fixing the aspect ratio of the window.

  When the display unit 110 divides and displays a plurality of windows in the window display area, the touch sensor 120 detects that the contact position of the user has changed along the side surface from the vicinity of the boundaries of the plurality of windows. In this case, the control unit 200 increases the size of one of the plurality of windows and decreases the size of the other windows by moving the boundaries of the plurality of windows in response to the change in the contact position. Also good. In this case, the control unit 200 may change the sizes of the plurality of windows while fixing the aspect ratio of at least one of the plurality of windows.

  When the display unit 110 displays one of the plurality of windows at the end of the window display area, the touch sensor 120 is located on the inner side along the side surface from the end of the window display area. When it is detected that the window has changed, the control unit 200 may reduce the size of one window in response to the change in the contact position and display another window at the end of the window display area. In this case, the control unit 200 may reduce the size of one window while fixing the aspect ratio of the one window. Further, the control unit 200 may display other windows in the window display area while fixing the aspect ratio of the other windows.

  The window depth storage unit 204 stores depth information of each of a plurality of windows. For example, based on the depth information stored in the window depth storage unit 204, the control unit 200 selects a window having a depth next to the one window among the windows not displayed on the display unit 110. As another window, it is displayed at the edge of the window display area.

  The direction sensor 202 detects the direction of the housing. For example, when the direction sensor 202 detects a change in the orientation of the housing, that is, an inclination, the control unit 200 is an image in which a plurality of windows are overlaid, and from a viewpoint corresponding to the inclination detected by the direction sensor 202. A visually recognized image may be displayed. In this case, the control unit 200 may display an image in which a plurality of windows are stacked in the depth order based on the depth information stored in the window depth storage unit 204.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of a plurality of windows displayed on the display unit 110. FIG. 3 shows an example of a plurality of windows displayed on the display unit 110 in the multi-window mode. For example, the direction sensor 202 detects that the mobile phone 100 is tilted to the state shown in FIG. As a result, the control unit 200 switches the window display mode on the display unit 110 to the multi-window mode.

  In response to the display mode becoming the multi-window mode, the control unit 200 displays an already opened window in the window display area 300 of the display unit 110. Further, the control unit 200 displays a button image in the button display area 320 of the display unit 110.

  For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the control unit 200 causes the window display area 300 to display windows 302 and 304 that are already open windows side by side. Here, the control unit 200 displays the window in the active state on the leftmost side when the display mode is the multi-window mode. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 3, the window 302 that was in the active state is displayed on the left side.

  Further, based on the depth information stored in the window depth storage unit 204, the control unit 200 displays a plurality of windows that are already open from the left side in order from the window with the smallest depth. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 3, a window 304 having a depth next to the window 302 is displayed next to the window 302.

  A touch panel is provided on the surface of the display unit 110. The user can input various instructions to the mobile phone 100 by operating the touch panel. For example, the user operates the touch panel on the button display area 320 to select an image of an arbitrary button displayed in the button display area 320, and performs processing according to the selected button image on the mobile phone 100. Can be done.

  Note that a plurality of transparent hardware buttons corresponding to the images of the plurality of buttons displayed in the button display area 320 may be provided on the surface of the button display area 320 instead of the touch panel. As a result, the user can obtain a feeling of pressing a button that cannot be obtained with a touch panel, and thus can perform a more reliable button operation. The control unit 200 can also display an image other than a button such as a window in the button display area 320. For example, the control unit 200 can display one or more windows over the window display area 300 and the button display area 320 in full screen.

  Further, the user can operate the map application displayed in the window 302 by operating the touch panel on the window 302. Further, the user can operate the telephone application displayed in the window 304 by operating the touch panel on the window 304.

  The control unit 200 may cause the button display area 320 to display an image of a button corresponding to the active window. For example, when the window 302 is in an active state, the control unit 200 may display an image of a button for operating the map application displayed in the window 302 in the button display area 320. On the other hand, when the window 304 is in an active state, an image of a button for operating the telephone application displayed in the window 304 may be displayed in the button display area 320. For example, the user can activate an arbitrary window by pressing the touch sensor 120 at a position near the arbitrary window.

  For example, when the touch sensor 120a or the touch sensor 120c, or both the touch sensor 120a and the touch sensor 120c detect a slide in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction) from the state illustrated in FIG. The window size is changed according to the start position, direction, and end position.

  When the touch sensor 120a or the touch sensor 120c, or both the touch sensor 120a and the touch sensor 120c detect sliding in the short direction (front-rear direction) from the state illustrated in FIG. Depending on the direction and number of times, the window closest to the position where the slide is detected is switched to another window.

  Further, when the touch sensor 120b or the touch sensor 120d detects a slide in the longitudinal direction (vertical direction) from the state illustrated in FIG. 3, the control unit 200 responds to the slide start position, direction, and end position. The enlargement ratio of the window closest to the position where the slide is detected is changed.

  In the state shown in FIG. 3, when any touch sensor 120 detects that the touch sensor 120 is pressed, the control unit 200 switches the window closest to the position where the touch sensor 120 is detected to the active state. When the window closest to the position where it is detected to be pressed is already in the active state, the control unit 200 may display the menu screen in the window in the active state.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, the window depth information 112 includes the first icon from the right and the second icon from the right of the five icons displayed in different colors from the other icons. It shows that the window 302 of the second layer and the window 304 of the second layer are displayed on the display unit 110.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of processing for changing the window size by the control unit 200. For example, for the mobile phone 100 in the state shown in the upper part of FIG. 4, the user simultaneously brings one finger into contact with the position P <b> 1 of the touch sensor 120 a, which is a position near the boundary between the window 302 and the window 304. The other finger is brought into contact with the position P1 ′ of the touch sensor 120c. Then, the user slides one finger along the touch sensor 120a to the position P2 of the touch sensor 120a in the direction V1, and simultaneously moves the other finger along the touch sensor 120c to the position P2 ′ of the touch sensor 120c. Slide in the direction V1 ′.

  The control unit 200 determines the position of the window 302 according to the position P1 and the position P1 ′ that are the start positions of the slide, the direction V1 and the direction V1 ′ that are the slide directions, and the positions P2 and P2 ′ that are the end positions of the slide. At the same time as increasing the size, the size of the window 304 is decreased. Thereby, the mobile phone 100 changes from the state shown in the upper part of FIG. 4 to the state shown in the lower part of FIG. Here, the control unit 200 may reduce the size of the window 304 while fixing the aspect ratio of the screen displayed in the window 304. Further, the size of the window 302 may be increased while the aspect ratio of the screen displayed in the window 302 is fixed.

  Note that the user slides one finger along the touch sensor 120a in the direction V1 to the position P3 of the touch sensor 120a, which is the edge of the window display area 300, and simultaneously touches the position P3 ′ of the touch sensor 120c. By sliding the other finger in the direction V1 ′ along the sensor 120c, the mobile phone 100 can be changed from the state shown in the upper part of FIG. 4 to the state shown in the upper part of FIG.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a process for displaying a new window by the control unit 200. For example, with respect to the mobile phone 100 in the state shown in the upper part of FIG. 5, that is, in the state in which the window 302 is displayed in the window display area 300, the user is at the position P3 of the touch sensor 120 a that is the edge of the window display area 300. At the same time, the other finger is brought into contact with the position P3 ′ of the touch sensor 120c. Then, the user slides one finger along the touch sensor 120a to the position P4 of the touch sensor 120a in the direction V2, and at the same time moves the other finger along the touch sensor 120c to the position P4 ′ of the touch sensor 120c. Slide in the direction V2 ′.

  The control unit 200 includes a position P3 and a position P3 ′ that are the start positions of the slide, a direction V2 and a direction V2 ′ that are the directions of the slide, a position P4 and a position P4 ′ that are the end positions of the slide, and a window depth storage unit 204. In accordance with the depth information stored in the window 302, the size of the window 302 is reduced, and at the same time, the window 304 at the next depth of the window 302 is gradually increased in size, and the window 302 is displayed in the window display area 300. Display them side by side. Thereby, the mobile phone 100 changes from the state shown in the upper part of FIG. 5 to the state shown in the lower part of FIG. Here, the control unit 200 may reduce the size of the window 302 while fixing the aspect ratio of the screen displayed in the window 302. Further, the size of the window 304 may be increased while the aspect ratio of the screen displayed in the window 304 is fixed.

  FIG. 6 shows another example of processing for displaying a new window by the control unit 200.
