To do. Further, the communication unit 19 converts the radio signal received via the antenna into a signal in a format that can be used by the control unit 11, and outputs the converted signal to the control unit 11.

  Now, in the mobile phone 1 of the present embodiment, a list of various files stored in the storage unit 12 can be displayed.

  FIGS. 3A and 3B are diagrams showing display examples of a file list screen. As shown in FIG. 3A, a plurality of files, that is, text icons corresponding to the files are arranged on the list screen. Each file is connected by, for example, a bus indicating that each file is in the same hierarchy.

  The user can create a folder on the list screen. The created folder is, for example, in the same hierarchy as each file. The user can move each file into the created folder and create a copy of each file.

  Further, the user can delete unnecessary files on the list screen.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, for example, a menu window pops up on the list screen by a predetermined operation by the user. The menu window displays items of processing (move, copy, delete, open, etc.) that can be executed for each file in the list screen. The user selects a desired item from the menu window. Processing corresponding to the item selected by the user (file movement processing, file copy processing, file deletion processing, file release processing, etc.) is executed by the control unit 11. Hereinafter, the file move process, the file copy process, the file delete process, the file release process, and the like are collectively referred to as “file process”.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the control unit 11 includes a display control unit 21, an operation determination unit 22, a selection unit 23, and a process execution unit 24 in order to execute file processing on the files in the list screen. Yes.

  The display control unit 21 performs display control on the display unit 13. For example, the display control unit 21 causes the display unit 13 to display a file list screen. Further, when the file processing is executed, the display control unit 21 updates the display of the list screen according to the processing.

  The operation determination unit 22 determines a user operation related to the file processing based on the detection result by the touch detection unit 14 in the file processing. The operation determination unit 22 determines the presence / absence of a specifying operation for specifying a file migration destination or copy destination folder. The folder designation operation is, for example, a tap operation on a folder (folder text icon). The operation determination unit 22 determines that a tap operation has been performed on the folder when the touch is not detected within a predetermined first time after detecting the touch on the folder position.

  Further, the operation determination unit 22 determines whether or not there is a start operation and a stop operation that specify the first file from the list screen. The start operation is, for example, a long touch operation on a file (file text icon) designated as the first file. The operation determination unit 22 determines that a long touch operation has been performed on the file when the touch is continuously detected for a predetermined second time or more after detecting the touch to the position of the file. The end operation is, for example, an operation of releasing a finger from the display surface 3 following the long touch operation. The operation determination unit 22 determines that a release operation subsequent to the long touch operation has been performed when it has been detected that the touch is a long touch operation and then has not been detected.

  Furthermore, the operation determination unit 22 determines whether or not there is an end operation for ending the data processing. The end operation is, for example, a double tap operation to the background area (area other than the folder and the file) on the list screen. The operation determination unit 22 determines that a double-tap operation has been performed on the background area when a tap operation at the position of the background area is detected twice at predetermined intervals within the third time.

  When the operation determination unit 22 determines that the start operation has been performed in the file processing, the selection unit 23 sequentially selects the files in accordance with a predetermined selection order from the first file specified in the start operation. The selection order may be, for example, the arrangement order of files on the list screen. As shown in FIG. 3A, when files are arranged in a vertical line on the list screen, for example, the rank is determined so that the rank is lower as the file is located at the top. When a file whose selection order is not first is designated as the first file, the selection unit 23 selects the file with the lowest selection order, and then returns to the file with the first selection order. Continue to select. The selection unit 23 may be configured to end the file selection without selecting the file with the highest selection order when the file with the lowest selection order is selected.

  The process execution unit 24 executes processes such as move, copy, delete, and release for the files sequentially selected by the selection unit 23. Further, when the operation determining unit 22 determines that the stop operation has been performed, the process executing unit 24 stops the sequential execution of the processes.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the file movement process. 5 and 6 are diagrams showing screen display examples when the file movement process is executed.

  When the item “move” is selected by the user from the menu window shown in FIG. 3B, the control unit 11 starts the file move process. When the item selection is finished, the menu window is deleted.

  First, on the list screen displayed on the display unit 13, the user designates a folder to which a file is to be moved. When the user performs a tap operation on the folder (see screen A in FIG. 5), the control unit 11 (operation determination unit 22) determines that a folder designation operation has been performed (S101: YES). The control unit 11 determines the designated folder as a destination folder (S102). The control unit 11 (display control unit 21) performs display on the display unit 13 based on the determination of the destination folder (S103). The display in the process of S103 is, for example, that a marker indicating that the designated folder is a movement destination folder is attached (see screen B in FIG. 5).

  Next, the user designates the first file to be moved first and performs a movement start operation. When the user performs a long touch operation on the first file (see screen C in FIG. 5), the control unit 11 (operation determination unit 22) determines that a start operation for designating the first file has been performed (S104: YES). The control unit 11 (selection unit 23) selects a designated file from the list screen and determines it as a migration target file (S105). The control unit 11 (display control unit 21) performs display based on the determination of the target file on the display unit 13 (S106). For example, in order to distinguish the target file from other files, the target file is highlighted (see screen D in FIG. 5).

  The control unit 11 (process execution unit 24) moves the target file to the destination folder (S107).

  The user continues to touch the display surface 3 with a finger. While the touch continues, the control unit 11 (operation determination unit 22) determines that there is no stop operation (S108: NO). The control unit 11 determines whether or not the movement of the target file is completed (S109). When the control unit 11 determines that the movement is completed (S109: YES), it is determined whether or not the moved target file is the last target file. (S110). For example, if the selection order of the file designated as the first file is the first file, if the file with the lowest selection order is moved, it is determined that the moved target file is the last target file. .

  If the target file whose movement has been completed is the first file, it is determined that it is not the last target file (S110: NO), so the control unit 11 (selection unit 23) displays the next file in the list screen according to the selection order. And the selected file is determined as a target file (S111).

  Next, the control unit 11 (display control unit 21) performs display on the display unit 13 based on completion of movement and determination of a target file (S112). For example, the moved file is displayed connected to the destination folder by a bus below the destination folder so that it can be understood that it is a hierarchy below the destination folder. The display of the source file is deleted. The new target file is moved to the position of the deleted file, that is, the position touched with the finger, and is highlighted. The remaining files are moved in accordance with the movement of the target file (see screen E in FIG. 5).

  Returning to step S107, the control unit 11 (process execution unit 24) moves the new target file to the destination folder. If the movement is completed without a stop operation and the next target file is determined, display based on the completion of the movement and determination of the target file is performed (S108 to S112). For example, the newly moved file is displayed below the destination folder following the previously moved file, and the display of the source file is deleted. The new target file is moved to the position of the deleted file and highlighted. The remaining files are moved in accordance with the movement of the target file (see screen F in FIG. 5).

  In this way, if the user continuously touches the display surface 3 after the long touch operation, the files are sequentially selected from the list screen, and the selected files are moved to the destination folder. That is, the user can select a file without moving the position where the finger touches the display surface 3.

  When the user does not move the next file, the user immediately performs a stop operation after the movement of the file is started. The stop operation is, for example, an operation in which the user lifts his / her finger from the display surface 3. When the user performs a release operation following the long touch operation, the control unit 11 (operation determination unit 22) determines that a stop operation has been performed (S108: YES). The control unit 11 determines whether or not a predetermined fixed time has elapsed since the start of movement of the target file (S113). When the stop operation is performed immediately after the start of the current file movement, since the fixed time has not elapsed (S113: NO), the control unit 11 (process execution unit 24) stops the file movement. (S114).

  On the other hand, when the movement of the sequential file is stopped after the current file is moved, the user waits for the elapse of the fixed time and releases the finger from the display surface 3. Since the fixed time has elapsed (S113: YES), the control unit 11 (process execution unit 24) continues to move the target file as it is.

  When the movement of the target file is stopped (S114) or when the movement of the target file is completed (S115: YES), the control unit 11 (selection unit 23) stops the file selection (S116). The control unit 11 (display control unit 21) performs display on the display unit 13 based on the stop of the movement process (S117).

  When the movement is canceled, for example, the highlight display of the file whose movement is stopped is deleted (see screen G in FIG. 5). On the other hand, when the movement is completed, for example, the newly moved file is displayed below the destination folder after the previously moved file, and the display of the source file is deleted. The remaining files are not moved and are not highlighted (see screen H in FIG. 5).

  When the user moves a desired file to a folder, the user performs an end operation. When the user performs a double tap operation (see screen I in FIG. 6A), the control unit 11 (operation determination unit 22) determines that an end operation has been performed (S118: YES). The control unit 11 (display control unit 21) performs display on the display unit 13 based on the end of the file movement process (S119). For example, the marker attached to the destination folder is deleted from the list screen (see screen J in FIG. 6A). Thus, the file movement process is completed.

  Once the user stops moving the file, if there is a file to be moved, the user skips the file that is not moved, newly designates the first file to be moved, and performs a start operation. When the user performs a long touch operation on a new top file (see screen K in FIG. 6B), the control unit 11 (operation determination unit 22) performs a start operation to specify the top file. The determination is made (S104: YES), and the file is moved again from the designated file (S105 to S107, see screen L and screen M in FIG. 6B).

  When the user moves all the files in the same hierarchy as the destination folder to the destination folder, the user continues the long touch operation until the movement of all the files is completed. When the movement of the last file is completed, it is determined in step S110 that it is the last file (S110: YES), and the control unit 11 (display control unit 21) finishes the file movement process on the display unit 13. The display based on the situation is performed (S119). All the moved files are displayed below the destination folder, and all the files in the same hierarchy as the destination folder disappear (see FIG. 6C).

  When only the file designated as the first file is moved, the user performs a stop operation after the movement of the first file is completed as shown in screen E of FIG.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of file copy processing. FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are diagrams showing screen display examples when the file copy process is executed.

  When the user selects the “copy” item from the menu window shown in FIG. 3B, the control unit 11 starts file copy processing.

  The file copy process is the same as the file move process except that the process for the target file is a copy process.

  That is, when a copy destination folder is specified by a user specifying operation (tap operation) and a start operation (long touch operation to the first file) for specifying the first file is performed, the first file is sequentially selected according to the selection order. Then, the file is selected and the selected file is copied (S201 to S212, see screen A to screen F in FIG. 8). If the user performs a stop operation (release operation following the long touch operation) while the files are being sequentially copied, the copy process is stopped (see S213 to S217, screen G and screen H in FIG. 8). ).

  Further, after the copy process is stopped, when the user skips a file that is not to be copied and designates a new head file and performs a start operation, the file is copied from the new head file (S204 to S212). FIG. 9 (b)). In addition, when the user performs an end operation (double tap operation) after the copy process is stopped, or a long tap operation is continued, all files in the same hierarchy as the copy destination folder are copied to the copy destination folder. Then, the file copy process is terminated (see S218 and S219, FIGS. 9A and 9C).

  In the file copy process, unlike the file move process, the copy source file remains. Therefore, as shown in the screens E to H in FIG. 8, the display of the copied file remains as it is. The display of the copy destination folder is shifted upward every time the display of the copied file is added below the copy destination folder.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of file deletion processing. FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are diagrams showing screen display examples when the file deletion process is executed.

  When the user selects the “delete” item from the menu window shown in FIG. 3B, the control unit 11 starts the file deletion process.

  The file deletion process is the same as the file movement process except that the destination folder is not specified and the process for the target file is a deletion process.

  That is, when a start operation for specifying the first file (long touch operation to the first file) is performed, files are sequentially selected from the first file according to the selection order, and the selected file is deleted. (See S301 to S309, screen A to screen D in FIG. 11). As a display based on the completion of the deletion of the target file (S309), the display of the deleted file is deleted from the list screen. If the user performs a stop operation (release operation following the long touch operation) while the file deletion is being executed sequentially, the deletion process is stopped (S310 to S314, see screen E and screen F in FIG. 11). ).

  Furthermore, after the deletion process is stopped, when a file to be deleted is skipped by the user and a new head file is designated and a start operation is performed, the file is deleted from the new head file (S301 to S309). FIG. 12 (b)). In addition, when the user performs an end operation (double tap operation) after the deletion process is stopped, or when a long tap operation is continued and all files having the same hierarchy are deleted, the file deletion process is performed. Is terminated (see S315, S316, FIGS. 12A and 12C). In the file deletion process, for example, as shown in the screen H of FIG. 12A, the display based on the end of the deletion process is the same display as the display based on the stop of the deletion process.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the flow of file release processing. 14 and 15 are diagrams showing screen display examples when the file release process is executed. The release process is a process for displaying the contents of a file or a function based on a file.

  When the item “Open” is selected by the user from the menu window shown in FIG. 3B, the control unit 11 starts a file release process.

  The file release process is the same as the file deletion process except that the process for the target file is the release process.

  That is, when a start operation (long touch operation to the first file) for designating the first file is performed, files are sequentially selected from the first file according to the selection order, and the selected file is opened ( (See S401 to S409, screen A to screen D in FIG. 14). The control unit 11 activates an application corresponding to the selected file, and opens the file by the activated application. As the display based on the opening of the target file (S409), the contents of the opened file are displayed in an area in the list screen where the file is not displayed.

  If the user performs a stop operation (release operation following the long touch operation) while the file release is sequentially performed, the release process is stopped (see screen E and screen F in FIG. 14). ).

  Further, after the release process is stopped, a file that is not opened is skipped by the user, and when a new head file is designated and a start operation is performed, the file is opened from the new head file (S401 to S409, FIG. 15 (b)). When the user performs an end operation (double tap operation) after the release process is stopped, or when a long tap operation is continued and all files having the same hierarchy are opened, the file release process is performed. The process is terminated (see S415, S416, and FIGS. 15A and 15C). In the file release process, similarly to the file deletion process, for example, as shown in the screen H of FIG. 15A, the display based on the end of the release process is the same display as the display based on the stop of the release process.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a start operation specifying the first file is performed, the files are automatically selected sequentially from the first file until the stop operation is performed, and the selected file is automatically selected. Processing such as moving, copying, deleting, and releasing is performed. Therefore, the user does not need to perform an operation of selecting a unit (one / plurality / all) for processing, and can reduce operations for processing a desired number of files.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, after a stop operation is performed, it is determined whether or not there is a start operation for designating a new head file, and if there is a start operation, the process is restarted from the new head file. Therefore, the user can skip a file that does not need to be processed, and can start the process again from the file that needs to be processed.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, even if the processing for the previous file is completed and the processing of the next file is started, if the stop operation is performed before a predetermined time (determined time) has elapsed from the start, Processing for the file is canceled. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a waiting time for the user to stop after the processing for the previous file is finished so that unnecessary files are not processed, and the next file is processed immediately after the previous file is processed. Can start. As a result, the time for continuously processing the file can be shortened.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the file being processed is highlighted as a display for distinguishing the file currently being processed from other files. Thus, the user can easily grasp the file currently being processed.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the user presses the display surface 3 with a finger and releases the finger from the display surface 3 at the timing when the desired file is processed (stops pressing), thereby allowing a plurality of operations with an easy operation. Files can be processed continuously.

<Modification 1>
In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to each process of moving, copying, deleting, and releasing a file. However, the file registration process such as registering the music file displayed on the list screen in the folder of the music playlist (playlist folder) or registering the file displayed on the list screen in the folder of the favorite list, The present invention can also be applied.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a flow of file registration processing of the mobile phone 1 according to the first modification. 17 and 18 are diagrams showing examples of screen display when the file registration process is executed. FIG. 18 shows a screen for registering a music file in the playlist folder.

  The file registration process is the same as the file movement process except that the process for the target file is a registration process.

  That is, a registration destination folder (for example, a playlist folder) is specified by a user specifying operation (tap operation), and a start operation (long touch operation to the first file) for specifying the first file (for example, a music file) is performed. Then, the files are sequentially selected from the top file according to the selection order, and the selected files are registered in the registration destination folder (S501 to S512, see screen A to screen F in FIG. 17). If the user performs a stop operation (release operation following the long touch operation) while the file registration is sequentially performed, the registration process is stopped (see S513 to S517, screen G and screen H in FIG. 17). ).

  Furthermore, after the registration process is stopped, when the user skips a file that is not registered and designates a new head file and performs a start operation, the file is registered from the new head file (S504 to S512). FIG. 18 (b)). If the user performs an end operation (double-tap operation) after the registration process is stopped, or the long-tap operation is continued, all files at the same level as the registration destination folder are registered in the registration destination folder. Then, the file registration process is terminated (see S518 and S519, FIGS. 18A and 18C).

  In the file registration process, unlike the file movement process, the registration source file remains. Therefore, as shown in screen E to screen H in FIG. 17, the display of the registered file remains as it is. The display of the registration destination folder is shifted upward every time a display of a file registered below the registration destination folder is added.

<Modification 2>
FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of the mobile phone 1 according to the second modification.

  In the present modification example, when processing for a file (for example, file movement) is stopped by the stop operation, the display control unit 21 performs a restoration operation by the display controller 21 as shown in screen A of FIG. A restore button 101 is displayed on the list screen.

  When the restore button 101 is touched by the user, the process execution unit 24 invalidates the process for the file selected last before the process is stopped as shown in the screen B of FIG. On the other hand, the state before processing is restored. If the state of the file has not returned to the state before the processing is performed on the first file, the restore button 101 continues to be displayed on the list screen. Further, when the restore button 101 is touched, the process execution unit 24 changes the state of the file before the process is performed on the previous file as shown in the screen C of FIG. Return to the state. When the state of the file returns to the state before the processing is performed on the first file, the restore button 101 is deleted from the list screen.

  As shown in the screen D in FIG. 19B, the display control unit 21 may be configured to display the full restoration button 102 on the list screen in addition to the restoration button 101. In this case, when the user presses the full restoration button 102, the process execution unit 24 changes the file status before the process is performed on the first file as shown in the screen E in FIG. Return to the state.

  The full restore button 102 may be displayed on the list screen, but the restore button 101 may not be displayed. Further, at least one of the restore button 101 and the all restore button 102 may be configured to be displayed on the list screen.

  According to this modified example, even if a file is processed by mistake, the user can return the file to a state before the process is performed by an easy operation.

<Modification 3>
FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of the mobile phone 1 according to the third modification.

  In this modified example, the control unit 11 as a notification unit performs notification for notifying the user of completion every time processing for each file is completed. For example, as shown in FIGS. 20A and 20B, the control unit 11 indicates that the processing has been completed on the list screen every time processing (for example, file movement) for each file is completed. Pop up a notification window to show.

  The control unit 11 may issue a notification indicating the completion of the process by outputting a beep sound or the like from the external speaker 7. Furthermore, when the mobile phone 1 has a built-in vibrator, the control unit 11 may perform notification indicating the completion of the process by vibrating the device main body using the vibrator.

  According to the configuration of this modified example, the user can easily grasp the timing at which the processing for each file is completed, so that it is unlikely that the user forgets the stop operation and an unnecessary file is processed.

<Modification 4>
21 to 23 are diagrams for explaining the configuration of the mobile phone 1 according to the fourth modification. With reference to FIGS. 21 to 23, the file movement process of the present modification will be described.

  First, referring to FIG. In the file movement process, when the destination folder is determined based on the user's designated operation (tap operation) (see screen A), the display control unit 21 stores the file moved to the destination folder. The area is displayed on the list screen (see screen B). In addition, a notification window informing the operation method for moving the file is displayed on the list screen for a certain period of time.

  Next, when the user performs a start operation (long touch operation) that designates the first file and starts moving the target file (see screen C), the display control unit 21 moves the target file to the destination folder. A process display indicating the process to be performed is performed on the list screen (see screen D).

  When the movement of the target file is completed, the moved file is displayed in the storage area by the display control unit 21 (see screen E). In the storage area, “Copy” and “Delete” text icons that are operated to copy and delete the moved file are further displayed.

  In the present modification example, when a predetermined time elapses after the stop operation (release operation following the long touch operation) is performed by the user, the control unit 11 moves the file even if the user does not perform the end operation. End the process. When the file move process is completed, the display control unit 21 deletes the display of the storage area, and the moved file is displayed below the move destination folder as a hierarchy below the move destination folder (see screen F and screen G). ).

  Reference is now made to FIG. If the stop operation is performed within the fixed time after the movement of the target file is started, the movement of the target file is stopped. In this case, as shown in the screen H, the display control unit 21 displays on the list screen a process in which the file that has been directed to the destination folder returns to the original position.

  Reference is now made to FIG. After the stop operation is performed, the user can copy or delete the moved file. As shown in FIG. 23A, when copying the moved file, the user touches the “copy” icon after touching the file (see screen K). The process execution unit 24 creates a copy of the touched file in the destination folder. When the copying is completed, the display control unit 21 displays the copied file in the storage area (see screen L). As shown in FIG. 23B, when deleting a moved file, the user touches the “delete” icon after touching the file (see screen M). The touched file is deleted by the process execution unit 24. When the deletion is completed, the display control unit 21 deletes the display of the deleted file from the storage area (see screen N).

  In the file copy process, the display control unit 21 may perform display control similar to the file movement process shown in FIGS.

  According to this modified example, the notification window for notifying the operation method is displayed after the folder is specified, so that the user can easily confirm the operation method.

  Furthermore, according to this modified example, when the process is started, the process of the file going to the folder is visually shown, so that the user can easily confirm that the process is being executed. Further, when the process is stopped, the process of returning the file from the folder is visually shown, so that the user can easily confirm that the process is stopped.

  Furthermore, according to this modification, the user operates the “copy” or “delete” icon provided in the folder to delete or copy the file stored in the folder. It can be carried out.

<Modification 5>
In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to the mobile phone 1 in which an input is performed by a touch operation on the display surface 3. However, as described below, the present invention may be applied to the mobile phone 1 in which input is performed using the keypad.

  FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a mobile phone 50 according to the fifth modification. FIG. 24A is a front view of the state in which the mobile phone 50 is opened, and FIG. 24B is a front view of the state in which the mobile phone 50 is closed.

  Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, as shown in FIG. 24, the longitudinal direction of the first cabinet 51 and the second cabinet 52 is defined as the vertical direction, and the short direction of the first cabinet 51 and the second cabinet 52 is defined as the horizontal direction. To do.

  The mobile phone 50 is a so-called slide type mobile phone. The mobile phone 50 includes a first cabinet 51 and a second cabinet 52. The first cabinet 51 and the second cabinet 52 have a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the front. The second cabinet 52 is connected to the first cabinet 51 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction.

  A keypad 53 is disposed on the front surface of the first cabinet 51. The keypad 53 includes four activation keys 531, a direction key 532, an enter key 533, a call key 534, an end key 535, twelve numeric keys 536, and a clear key 537.

  The activation key 531 is mainly operated when a specific application such as an e-mail, a telephone directory, or a web browser is activated. The direction key 532 is mainly operated when moving the cursor displayed on the display unit 13. The enter key 533 is mainly operated when selecting an item designated by the cursor. The call key 534 is mainly operated when starting a call, and the call end key 535 is mainly operated when ending a call. The numeric keypad 536 is mainly operated when inputting characters (hiragana, katakana, alphabet), numbers, and symbols. The clear key 537 is mainly operated when erasing input characters and the like.

  A display surface 54 is disposed on the front surface of the second cabinet 52. Various images (screens) are displayed on the display surface 54.

  Inside the first cabinet 51, a microphone 55 is arranged at the lower end. Audio is input to the microphone 55 through a microphone hole 55 a formed on the front surface of the first cabinet 51. Inside the second cabinet 52, a call speaker 56 is arranged at the upper end. The sound output from the call speaker 56 is emitted to the outside through an output hole 56 a formed in the front surface of the second cabinet 52.

  In a state in which the cellular phone 50 is closed, the second cabinet 52 overlaps almost completely in front of the first cabinet 51 as shown in FIG. In this state (closed state), all keys on the keypad 53 are hidden behind the second cabinet 52. When the second cabinet 52 is slid upward and the mobile phone 1 is completely opened, as shown in FIG. 24A, all the keys on the keypad 53 are exposed to the outside.

  Also in the mobile phone 50 of the present modification, the same file movement process as the file movement process of the above-described embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is executed. However, in the present modification example, the designation operation, the start operation, the stop operation, and the end operation are performed by an operation on the keypad 53 instead of a touch operation on the display surface 54.

  25 and 26 are diagrams showing screen display examples when the file movement process is executed. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 25 and FIG. 26, the file movement process of the present modification will be specifically described.

  First, referring to FIG. On the file list screen, the user performs an operation of specifying a destination folder. That is, the user moves the cursor to a desired folder position with the direction key 532 and presses the enter key 533 (see screen A). A marker is attached to the folder determined as the destination folder (see screen B).

  Next, the user performs a start operation specifying the first file. That is, the user moves the cursor to the position of the desired file with the direction key 532, and performs a long press operation on the enter key 533 (see screen C). The file determined as the target file is highlighted (see screen D).

  The movement of the first file to the movement destination file is started, and thereafter the files are sequentially moved to the movement destination folder while the user continues to press the enter key 533. The moved file is deleted from the original position, and the file determined as the next target file is highlighted. Unlike the case where the long touch operation is performed as in the above embodiment, the position of the source file does not move (see screen E and screen F).

  If the user performs a stop operation, that is, an operation of releasing the enter key 533, while the file movement is sequentially executed, the movement process is stopped. (See screen G and screen H). The highlight display is deleted, and the cursor is displayed at the position of the file of the next selection order of the moved file.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 26A, a screen display when the file movement process is executed will be described. First, after moving a desired file to a folder, the user performs an end operation. The user presses the clear key 537 assigned to the end operation (see screen I). When the clear key 537 is pressed, the file movement process ends, and the marker attached to the destination folder is deleted (see screen J).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 26B, a screen display when the file movement process is executed will be described. After stopping the movement of the file, if there is a file to be moved, the user skips the file not to be moved, newly designates the first file to be moved, and performs the movement start operation. That is, the user moves the cursor to a new head file with the direction key 532 and performs a long press operation on the enter key 533 (see screen K). When a long press operation is performed on the enter key 533, the movement of the file is resumed from the designated file (see screen L and screen M).

  In this modified example, the same file copy process, file deletion process, and file release process as in the above embodiment can be executed. Furthermore, the same file registration process as in the first modification can be executed. The key operations performed by the user in these file processes are as described above.

  Also in this modified example, the same operational effects as those of the above embodiment can be obtained.

  Note that the present invention may be applied to other key input type mobile phones, for example, so-called folding type mobile phones, without being limited to the slide type mobile phones as described above.

<Others>
Although the embodiment and modification examples of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and the like, and various modifications other than the above can be made in the embodiment of the present invention. is there.

  For example, in the above-described embodiments and modification examples, the present invention is applied to processing such as movement, copying, deletion, and release for a file. However, the present invention may be applied to processing such as movement, copying, deletion, and release for an application or an application shortcut. When the release process is executed for the application, the target application is activated.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, a configuration may be adopted in which continuous file copy processing described below is executed. FIG. 27 is a diagram illustrating a screen display example when the continuous copy process is executed.

  The user performs a start operation specifying a copy source file. For example, a long touch operation is performed on a file to be copied (see screen A). The specified file is highlighted and copying starts (see screen B). A file newly created by copying has the same hierarchy as the copy source file. Each time one copy is completed, a new file created by the copy is displayed under the copy source file (see screen C and screen D). Thus, while the long touch operation is performed, a copy of the designated file is repeatedly created. When the user performs a stop operation, for example, an operation of releasing his / her finger from the display surface 3, the continuous copy process ends (see screen E).

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, when a call or e-mail arrives during execution of a process (move, copy, delete, release, etc.) for a file, the process for the file may be temporarily stopped. When processing for a file is paused, after the processing corresponding to the incoming call is completed (for example, for a telephone, after the call ends), the next selection order of the file that has been processed before the pause When a start operation (for example, a long touch operation) is performed on a file, processing for the file is resumed from the file. For example, after the call is ended, the file movement process is resumed by highlighting the file of the next selection order on the execution screen of the file movement process displayed on the display unit 13 before the incoming call. The position to be operated may be indicated. With such an aspect, the user can easily recognize the file whose processing is to be resumed.

  As another aspect, when an incoming call is received during processing for a file, the processing for the file is stopped, and after completion of the processing corresponding to the incoming call, a list screen before the processing corresponding to the file is displayed is displayed. It may be displayed on the part 13. In this case, the file is processed from the beginning by the user.

  The above aspect can be applied not only to incoming calls but also to any processing that is executed by interrupting the execution of processing on a file, such as alarm and schedule notification.

  Furthermore, in the second modification example, when the processing for the file is stopped by the stop operation, the restore button 101 is displayed on the list screen. However, in place of or in addition to the restore button 101, a button for executing another process (such as a file copy process, a file delete process, and a file release process if a file move process is being executed) May be displayed. When these buttons are selected, the process is changed to a process corresponding to the button.

  For example, when a file move process is being performed, “Copy”, “Delete”, and “Open” buttons are displayed. For example, when the “copy” button is pressed, the file copy process is started on the same list screen from the state in which the folder is designated, that is, following the process of step S204 of FIG. Similarly, when the “delete” button or the “release” button is pressed, the file deletion process of FIG. 10 is started or the file release process of FIG. 13 is started. With such a configuration, the user can easily change to another process.

  As another aspect, in the same way as described above, instead of the restore button 101 or in addition to the restore button 101, a button for executing another process is displayed, and when these buttons are selected, the file is moved. Processing corresponding to the selected button may be executed on a file for which movement processing has been completed.

  More specifically, when the “Copy” button is pressed after the file move process is completed, a file copy process is executed to copy (create) the same file as the moved file to the move source or move destination folder. The If the “delete” button is pressed after the file move process is completed, the file delete process is executed for the moved file. That is, the process based on S304 in FIG. 10 is executed. When the “release” button is pressed, the file release process is executed for the moved file. That is, the process based on S404 in FIG. 13 is executed. According to the above aspect, after the completion of the file movement process, the user can immediately execute another process for the file that has been subjected to the movement process.

  The button for executing the other process may be displayed for a predetermined time after the completion of the file movement process, or may be deleted when another operation is executed.

  The present invention is not limited to a cellular phone, and can be applied to various information processing apparatuses such as a personal computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a tablet PC (Tablet PC), and an electronic book terminal.

  In addition, the embodiment of the present invention can be variously modified as appropriate within the scope of the technical idea shown in the claims.
