Furthermore, the smartphone 1 displays part of the home screen adjacent to the home screen on the left and right of the home screen.

  Here, when changing the display of the home screen, the smartphone 1 maintains the display of the first temporary storage place 60 as it is. That is, the smartphone 1 is in a state in which the entire surface of the home screen 40a is displayed while maintaining the state where the icon 50a is displayed on the first temporary storage place 60.

  In step S34, the icon 50a is touched with the finger F1, and swiped to the position of the finger F2. That is, the user swipes the finger F1 touching the icon 50a displayed on the first temporary storage place 60 to the position of the finger F2 along the locus of the arrow α3. In this case, the smartphone 1 detects a swipe that has moved to the portion where the icon 50a of the first temporary storage place 60 is placed as a starting point and the home screen 40a is displayed. When the swipe is detected, the smartphone 1 moves the icon 50a to the swipe position.

  Thereafter, the user releases the finger F2. In this case, the smartphone 1 detects a drop in which the part where the icon 50a of the first temporary storage place 60 is arranged is the start point and the part where the home screen 40a is displayed is the end point. When detecting the drop, the smartphone 1 sets the icon 50a displayed on the first temporary storage place 60 as an icon to be displayed on the dropped home screen 40a. In addition, although FIG. 8 demonstrated the case where the icon was dropped on the 1st temporary storage place 60, the case where it is dropped on the 2nd temporary storage place 62 is also the same. Although one icon 50 is dropped on the first temporary storage place 60 in FIG. 8, a plurality of icons may be dropped and a plurality of icons may be displayed on the first temporary storage place 60.

  As described above, when the adjustment mode is executed, the smartphone 1 reduces the display of the home screen 40, and at least a part of the area where the home screen 40 is not displayed is displayed in the first temporary storage place 60 and the second temporary storage place. 62. As shown in FIG. 8, the smartphone 1 enables icons to be placed in the first temporary storage place 60 and the second temporary storage place 62. Furthermore, the smartphone 1 displays the first temporary storage place 60 and the second temporary storage place 62 as they are even when the home screens 40, 40a, 40b, and 40c change. Thereby, the user can move the icon to another home screen by moving the icon whose home screen to be displayed to the first temporary storage place 60 once without moving the icon. That is, the user can change the home screen displayed on the touch screen display 2 while displaying the target icon on the play 2B without swiping the icon and inputting a gesture as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, the user can confirm the presence or absence of an adjacent home screen.

  Here, FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed in the adjustment mode. As shown in FIG. 9, the smartphone 1 displays the home screens 40 a and 40 b that are adjacent home screens in a manner different from the home screen 40 that is displayed on the entire touch screen display 2. For example, the colors of the home screens 40a and 40b, which are adjacent home screens, and the color of the home screen 40 can be different. In this case, the background color of the home screen may be different, only the icon 50 may be different, or the color of the entire home screen may be different. You may make it display an adjacent home screen translucently. As described above, the smartphone 1 displays the adjacent home screens 40a and 40b in a mode different from the home screen 40 in which the entire surface is displayed on the touch screen display 2. Thereby, the smart phone 1 can make a user understand clearly which area | region is the home screen 40 by which the whole surface is displayed on the touch screen display 2 used as operation object.

  Although the smart phone 1 of this embodiment reduced the home screen and the adjacent home screen to the same size, it is not limited to this. Here, FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed in the adjustment mode. The touch screen display 2 shown in FIG. 10 displays the entire home screen 40d and displays part of the home screens 40e and 40f adjacent to the home screen 40d. The touch screen display 2 shown in FIG. 10 displays the home screens 40e and 40f, which are adjacent home screens, smaller than the home screen 40d on which the entire surface is displayed. The smartphone 1 can make the user clearly understand which region is the home screen 40 displayed on the entire surface of the touch screen display 2 to be operated by further reducing the adjacent home screen. .

  Although the touched icon is larger than the other icons in the smartphone 1 of the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. The smartphone 1 may make other icons smaller without changing the size of the touched icon.

  Here, when the icon is dropped on the first temporary storage place 60 during execution of the adjustment mode, the smartphone 1 of the present embodiment displays the icon on the first temporary storage place 60. The operation of causing the icon displayed on the home screen 40 to be displayed on the first temporary storage place 60 and the second temporary storage place 62, that is, the operation of moving the icon 50 on the home screen 40 to the first temporary storage place 60 and the second temporary storage place 62, is as follows. It is not limited to. The smartphone 1 can perform other gestures such as icon flick, pinch-in, pinch-out, and multi-touch as an operation of moving the icon 50 on the home screen 40 to the first temporary storage place 60 and the second temporary storage place 62.

  The smartphone 1 may perform the operation for starting the adjustment mode as an operation other than the long tap on the icon 50. The smartphone 1 may perform other gestures such as flick, pinch-in, and pinch-out as operations for starting the adjustment mode. The smartphone 1 may perform operations other than gestures performed on the touch screen display 2 as operations for starting the adjustment mode. For example, in the smartphone 1, an operation detected via the button 3, an operation of shaking the smartphone 1 detected via the acceleration sensor 15 or the like, or an operation by voice may be an operation for starting the adjustment mode. Here, the voice operation may be realized, for example, when the controller 10 performs a voice recognition process on the voice signal transmitted from the microphone 8. The voice operation may be realized based on the result of voice recognition processing performed by transmitting the voice signal transmitted from the microphone 8 to another apparatus via the communication unit 6 and causing the other apparatus to perform the operation.

  In the smartphone 1 of the present embodiment, the first temporary storage place 60 and the second temporary storage place 62 are places where icons are temporarily displayed in the adjustment mode. The smartphone 1 may add another function to the first temporary storage place 60 and the second temporary storage place 62. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed in the adjustment mode. In the touch screen display 2 shown in FIG. 11, a folder 64 is displayed in the first temporary storage place 60. When the icon 50 is dropped in the folder 64, the smartphone 1 creates a folder that stores the dropped icon and displays the folder on the home screen. When a plurality of icons 50 are dropped on the folder 64, the smartphone 1 creates one folder that stores the plurality of icons 50 dropped on the folder 64 and displays the folder on the home screen. At this time, if the number of icons 50 dropped in the folder 64 is larger than the number of folders that can be stored, the smartphone 1 creates two or more icons and displays them on the home screen. In this manner, by providing the folder 62 that serves as a trigger for foldering icons in the first storage place 60, the icons can be stored in the same folder while changing the home screen to be displayed. That is, icons displayed separately on a plurality of home screens can be efficiently stored in the same folder.

  In the touch screen display 2 shown in FIG. 11, a trash can 66 is displayed in the second temporary storage place 62. When the icon 50 is dropped on the trash can 66, the smartphone 1 deletes the dropped icon 50. Thus, by adding a function for deleting the icon 50 to the second temporary storage place 62, the icon can be easily deleted. When the icon 50 is dropped on the trash box 66, the smartphone 1 displays an operation screen for selecting whether or not to delete the icon, and deletes the icon when an icon deletion operation is detected. Good. When the smartphone 1 is set to display icons of all installed applications on the home screen, the smartphone 1 uninstalls the application simultaneously with the deletion of the icon. The smartphone 1 invalidates the drop to the trash box 66 when the icon cannot be used to uninstall the application.

  The smartphone 1 uses the drop to the folder 64 or the trash box 66 as a trigger for executing the function, but the smartphone 1 is directed to the first temporary storage place 60 where the folder 64 is displayed or the second temporary storage place 62 where the trash box 66 is displayed. The drop may be used as a trigger for executing the function. That is, the function may be added to the entire area of the first temporary storage place 60 or the second temporary storage place 62.

  The smartphone 1 may perform the foldering process and the icon deletion process at the end of the adjustment mode. That is, the smartphone 1 enables the icons dropped on the first temporary storage place 60 and the second temporary storage place 62 described above to be moved again while executing the adjustment mode. When an icon remains in at least one of the first temporary storage place 60 and the second temporary storage place 62 at the end of the adjustment mode, the smarter and the phone 1 may execute processing of each function described above on the icon.

  When the smartphone 1 has an icon in at least one of the first temporary storage place 60 and the second temporary storage place 62 at the end of the adjustment mode, the smartphone 1 may execute processes other than the foldering process and the icon deletion process. For example, if the smartphone 1 has an icon in at least one of the first temporary storage place 60 and the second temporary storage place 62 at the end of the adjustment mode, the display position of the icon may be the original home screen, The displayed home screen may be used, or a new home screen may be created and used as the home screen. The smartphone 1 may execute different processes in the first temporary storage place 60 and the second temporary storage place 62.

  Although the smart phone 1 of this embodiment provided the 1st temporary storage place 60 and the 2nd temporary storage place 62 in the upper limit of the home screen 40, the display position of a temporary storage place is not limited to this. The number is not limited as long as the number of temporary storage places is one or more. Although the smartphone of this embodiment has displayed the adjacent home screen, it does not need to be displayed.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating another example of the home screen and an example of a screen displayed in the adjustment mode. As shown in step S41 of FIG. 12, when the smartphone 1 displays the home screen 72 in the normal mode, that is, when the home screen 72 is displayed in a state other than the adjustment mode, 74) may be provided below the home screen 72. The dock area 74 is an area for displaying a shared icon on all the home screens 72. Even if the home screen 72 changes, the display does not change and the same icon is displayed. As shown in step S <b> 41, the smartphone 1 preferably provides the dock area 74 on the lower side of the home screen 72.

  The smart phone 1 displays the screen shown in step S42 on the touch screen display 2 when the adjustment mode is executed while the screen shown in step S41 is displayed. In step S <b> 42, the first temporary storage place 60 is displayed on the home screen 72, and the second temporary storage place 62 is displayed between the home screen 72 and the dock area 74. In step S42, a part of the left side of the home screen 72a is displayed on the right side of the home screen 72.

  Although the smart phone 1 displayed the 2nd temporary storage place 62 between the home screen 72 and the dock area | region 74 in step S42, the display position of the 2nd temporary storage place 62 is not limited to this. The smart phone 1 may display the screen shown in step S43 on the touch screen display 2 when the adjustment mode is executed while the screen shown in step S41 is displayed. In step S 43, the first temporary storage place 60 is displayed on the home screen 72 and the second temporary storage place 62 is displayed below the dock area 74. In step S42, a part of the left side of the home screen 72a is displayed on the right side of the home screen 72.

  The smartphone 1 can easily adjust the arrangement of the icons 50 by displaying the first temporary storage place 60 and the second temporary storage place 62 in the adjustment mode even when the dock area 74 is displayed as shown in FIG. it can. Specifically, the smartphone 1 can change the home screen on which the icon 50 is displayed even when the icon is already displayed in the dock area 74. In addition, the smartphone 1 can adjust the arrangement positions of more icons than can be displayed in the dock area 74 at a time.

  With reference to FIGS. 13 to 16, an example of a control processing procedure based on the function provided by the control program 9A will be described. FIG. 13 shows a processing procedure of control executed while displaying the home screen. FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 show the processing procedure of the adjustment mode control. The processing procedure shown in FIGS. 13 to 15 is realized by the controller 10 executing the control program 9A. The processing procedure shown in FIG. 13 is repeatedly executed while the home screen 40 is displayed on the display 2A. The controller 10 may execute another processing procedure for control related to the home screen 40 in parallel with the processing procedure shown in FIG. The processing procedure shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 is repeatedly executed while the adjustment mode is being executed.

  In Step S112, the controller 10 acquires the detection result of the touch screen 2B, and determines whether a gesture is detected based on the acquired detection result. If the controller 10 determines in step S112 that no gesture has been detected (No in step S112), the controller 10 proceeds to step S112. That is, the controller 10 repeats the process of step S112 until a gesture is detected on the touch screen 2B.

  When it is determined in step S112 that a gesture has been detected (Yes in step S112), the controller 10 determines in step S114 whether the touch is a long touch on the icon. That is, the controller 10 determines whether the gesture detected in step S112 is a long touch on the icon. If the controller 10 determines in step S114 that the touch is a long touch on the icon (Yes in step S114), the controller 10 shifts to an adjustment mode in step S116 and ends this process. If it is determined in step S114 that the touch is not a long touch on the icon (No in step S114), the controller 10 executes the detected gesture process in step S118 and ends the process. Here, the detected gesture process includes various processes executed when the controller 10 displays the home screen, such as an application activation process or a home screen moving process corresponding to the icon.

  Next, a process while the adjustment mode is being executed will be described with reference to FIG. In step S120, the controller 10 acquires the detection result of the touch screen 2B, and determines whether a gesture is detected based on the acquired detection result. If the controller 10 determines in step S120 that no gesture has been detected (No in step S120), the controller 10 proceeds to step S120. That is, the controller 10 repeats the process of step S120 until a gesture is detected on the touch screen 2B.

  If the controller 10 determines in step S120 that a gesture has been detected (Yes in step S120), the controller 10 determines in step S122 whether the icon is a swipe. That is, the controller 10 determines whether the gesture detected in step S120 is an icon swipe. If the controller 10 determines in step S122 that the icon is a swipe (Yes in step S122), the controller 10 proceeds to step S124. If the controller 10 determines in step S122 that the icon is not a swipe (No in step S122), the controller 10 proceeds to step S140.

  In step S124, the controller 10 determines whether stop time at the screen edge> threshold time. That is, the controller 10 determines whether the swipe icon is maintained in a state where it is stopped at the screen edge for longer than the threshold time. Here, the screen edge is an area where the adjacent home screen is displayed. If the controller 10 determines in step S124 that stop time at the edge of the screen> threshold time (Yes in step S124), the controller 10 moves the home screen in step S128. That is, the controller 10 maintains the swiped state of the icon and changes the home screen to be displayed to the adjacent home screen where the icons overlap. The controller 10 proceeds to step S130 after performing the process of step S128.

  If it is determined in step S124 that the stop time at the edge of the screen is not greater than the threshold time (No in step S124), or after performing the process of step S128, the controller 10 determines whether there is a release in step S130. That is, the controller 10 determines whether or not the detected swipe contact has ended in step S130.

  If the controller 10 determines in step S130 that there is no release (No in step S130), that is, if the icon 10 is swiped, the controller 10 proceeds to step S124 and repeats the above processing. If the controller 10 has been released in step S130 (Yes in step S130), that is, if it is determined that the swipe of the icon has been completed, the controller 10 determines in step S132 whether the icon has been dropped in the temporary storage area. That is, the controller 10 determines whether or not the release position detected in step S130 is an area displaying a temporary storage area.

  If the controller 10 determines in step S132 that it is not a drop to the temporary storage area (No in step S132), the controller 10 moves the icon to the released position in step S134. That is, the controller 10 sets the position within the home screen on which the swept and released icon is displayed as the released position. Thereafter, the controller 10 proceeds to step S138.

  If the controller 10 determines in step S132 that it is a drop to the temporary storage place (Yes in step S132), the controller 10 moves the icon to the dropped temporary storage place in step S136. That is, the controller 10 displays the dropped icon on the temporary storage place including the dropped position. Thereafter, the controller 10 proceeds to step S138.

  After performing the process of step S134 or the process of step S136, the controller 10 automatically arranges icons as step S138, and ends this process. The controller 10 performs automatic icon arrangement processing on both the home screen from which the icons are moved and the home screen from which the icons are moved.

  Here, in the example of the process illustrated in FIG. 14, when the swiped icon is maintained at the edge of the screen for a certain time in the processes of Step S <b> 124 and Step S <b> 128, the process of moving the home screen is performed. However, this process does not necessarily have to be performed.

  If the controller 10 determines in step S122 that the icon is not a swipe (No in step S122), the controller 10 determines in step S140 whether the gesture is a gesture for changing the home screen. If the controller 10 determines in step S140 that the gesture is a gesture for changing the home screen (Yes in step S140), the controller 10 changes the home screen in step S142 and ends the process. If the controller 10 determines in step S140 that the gesture is not a gesture for changing the home screen (No in step S140), the controller 10 executes processing of the detected gesture in step S144, and ends this processing.

  In the example of the process illustrated in FIG. 14, the icons are automatically arranged in step S138 so that the icons are displayed in an aligned state on both the home screen from which the icons are moved and the home screen from which the icons are moved. it can. Note that the automatic arrangement of icons is not necessarily performed. For example, the icon whose home screen has been moved may be displayed at the end of the destination home screen.

  Next, an example of the process of step S144 of FIG. 14 will be described using FIG. Here, FIG. 15 is an example of control for determining whether the detected gesture is a gesture for ending the adjustment mode, and executing processing based on the result. The controller 10 determines whether it is a gesture which complete | finishes adjustment mode as step S150. That is, the controller 10 determines whether the gesture detected in step S120 is a gesture that ends the adjustment mode. If the controller 10 determines in step S150 that the gesture is not a gesture for ending the adjustment mode (No in step S150), the controller 10 executes processing of the detected gesture in step S152 and ends this processing.

  If the controller 10 determines in step S150 that the gesture ends the adjustment mode (Yes in step S150), the controller 10 determines in step S154 whether there is an icon in the temporary storage area. If the controller 10 determines in step S154 that there is no icon in the temporary storage area (No in step S154), the controller 10 ends the adjustment mode as it is and ends this processing.

  When it is determined in step S154 that there is an icon in the temporary storage area (Yes in step S154), the controller 10 executes the set processing for the icon in the temporary storage area in step S156. Here, FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a setting table for processing executed at the end of the adjustment mode. The table shown in FIG. 16 is stored in the setting data 9Z. In the table of FIG. 16, the first temporary storage place corresponds to the first temporary storage place 60, and the second temporary storage place corresponds to the second temporary storage place 62.

  In the table shown in FIG. 16, as setting 1, processing for returning to the original home screen is associated with processing of the first temporary storage location, and processing for returning to the original home screen is associated with processing of the second temporary storage location. In the table shown in FIG. 16, as setting 2, the process of returning to the original home screen is associated with the first temporary storage process, and the icon deletion process is associated with the second temporary storage process. In the table shown in FIG. 16, as setting 3, the process of returning to the original home screen is associated with the first temporary storage process, and the foldering process of icons is associated with the second temporary storage process. In the table shown in FIG. 16, as setting 4, the icon deletion process is associated with the first temporary storage process, and the icon foldering process is associated with the second temporary storage process. In the table shown in FIG. 16, as setting 5, processing for displaying on the currently displayed home screen is associated with the first temporary storage processing, and processing for displaying on the currently displayed home screen is associated with the second temporary storage processing. ing. In the table shown in FIG. 16, as setting 6, processing for moving to a new home screen is associated with processing for the first temporary storage location, and processing for moving to the new home screen is associated with processing for the second temporary storage location. In the table shown in FIG. 16, six settings are shown, but the number is not limited. The processes shown in FIG. 16 can be combined in various ways.

  In step S156, the controller 10 reads the table from the setting data 9Z, and determines the setting to be executed from the table setting. The setting to be executed is determined in advance by a user operation or the like. After executing the read setting process on the icons displayed in the temporary storage areas, the controller 10 ends the adjustment mode and ends the present process.
