As shown in FIG. 1, the timer 12 may be provided independently of the controller 11, or may be configured to be built in the controller 11.

  The camera 13 images a subject around the electronic device 1. As an example, the camera 13 is an in-camera provided on a surface on which the display 14 of the electronic device 1 is provided. Moreover, the camera 13 is an out camera provided on the back surface (surface opposite to the surface on which the display 14 is provided) of the casing of the electronic device 1 as an example.

  The display 14 displays a screen. The screen includes at least one of, for example, a character, an image, a symbol, and a graphic. The display 14 may be a liquid crystal display. The display 14 may be an organic EL panel (Organic Electro-Luminescence Panel) or an inorganic EL panel (Inorganic Electro-Luminescence Panel). In the present embodiment, the display 14 is a touch panel display (touch screen display). The touch panel display detects the contact of a finger or a stylus pen and specifies the contact position. The display 14 can simultaneously detect a plurality of positions touched by a finger or a stylus pen.

  The microphone 15 detects sounds around the electronic device 1 including a voice uttered by a person.

  The storage 16 stores programs and data as a storage unit. The storage 16 temporarily stores the processing result of the controller 11. The storage 16 may include any storage device such as a semiconductor storage device and a magnetic storage device. The storage 16 may include a plurality of types of storage devices. The storage 16 may include a combination of a portable storage medium such as a memory card and a storage medium reading device.

  The programs stored in the storage 16 include an application executed in the foreground or the background and a control program that supports the operation of the application. The application is selected and executed, for example, by the user's contact with the display 14. Various processes according to the application are performed by the controller 11. The control program is, for example, an OS (Operating System). The application and the control program may be installed in the storage 16 via communication by the communication unit 17 or via a storage medium.

  The communication unit 17 is an interface for communicating by wire or wireless. The communication method performed by the communication unit 17 of one embodiment is a wireless communication standard. For example, the wireless communication standards include cellular phone communication standards such as 2G, 3G, and 4G.

(Operation of electronic devices)
FIG. 2 shows how the user operates the electronic device 1. In FIG. 2, the electronic device 1 is supported by a stand as an example. As an alternative example, the electronic device 1 may be leaned against a wall or placed on a table. When the display 14 (touch panel display) detects contact of a finger or a stylus pen, the controller 11 performs processing according to the contact position and operation type (tap, slide, etc.). In the example of FIG. 2, a cooking recipe and a timer are displayed on the display 14. That is, the electronic device 1 executes a plurality of applications in parallel. As will be described later, when the user activates a specific application for cooking (hereinafter, a recipe display application), in addition to displaying a recipe for cooking as shown in the example of FIG. Can be displayed.

  The electronic device 1 shown in FIG. 2 is a smartphone. As an alternative example, the electronic device 1 may be, for example, a mobile phone terminal, a Fablet, a tablet PC, or a feature phone. Further, the electronic device 1 is not limited to the above, and may be, for example, a PDA, a remote control terminal, a portable music player, a game machine, an electronic book reader, a car navigation, a home appliance, or an industrial device (FA device).

  FIG. 3 shows an example of a situation where the user operates the electronic device 1. In the example of FIG. 3, the user is cooking according to the recipe in the kitchen while displaying the recipe of cooking on the display 14 of the electronic device 1 as shown in FIG. 2. Here, although details will be described later, an execution screen of another application can be displayed in the area where the timer is displayed in FIG. That is, the user can operate other applications while displaying the cooking recipe in a partial area. For example, the user can execute a timer, e-mail, music playback, or the like in parallel in another area while displaying a recipe required to proceed with cooking. Here, in the following, “the application is executed and the screen is displayed by the application (execution application)” is referred to as “the application is displayed”.

(Recipe display application)
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a home screen of the electronic device 1. In the example of FIG. 4, a plurality of icons 30, a home button 40 (and a bar including the home button 40), and a notification bar are displayed on the display 14 of the electronic device 1. Here, the notification bar is a band-like region indicated by black at the upper end portion of the display 14. The notification bar displays the current time, for example. Here, the notification bar may further display at least a part of a pictograph indicating, for example, a radio wave state, a manner mode, a battery charging state, and the like. In the example of FIG. 4, the home button 40 has a triangular shape, a circular shape, and a rectangular shape. For example, the home screen may be displayed when the user touches the round home button 40. For example, when the user touches the triangular home button 40, the screen displayed immediately before may be displayed. For example, when the user touches the square home button 40, a list of functions (executable functions) may be displayed in a selectable manner. A bar including the home button 40 (hereinafter referred to as a function bar) is a belt-like area indicated by black at the lower end portion of the display 14.

  In the present embodiment, the home button 40 (and the function bar) and the notification bar are displayed on the display 14 of the electronic device 1 regardless of, for example, an activated application. Therefore, the application (including the recipe display application) can be displayed in a portion excluding the function bar and the notification bar from the maximum display range of the display 14. Hereinafter, the screen displayed on the display 14 by the application means a portion excluding the function bar and the notification bar. For example, even when full screen display is performed by an application, the function bar and the notification bar are displayed on the display 14.

  In the present embodiment, the upper end portion of the display 14 on which the notification bar is displayed differs depending on the attitude of the electronic device 1. The same applies to the lower end portion of the display 14 on which the function bar is displayed. The attitude of the electronic device 1 is calculated by the controller 11 based on information on acceleration and angular velocity. Then, the controller 11 performs processing such as rotation on the screen including the function bar and the notification bar according to the attitude of the electronic device 1. For example, when the orientation of the electronic device 1 is landscape, the upper side portion and the lower side portion of the display 14 correspond to the upper long side portion and the lower long side portion of the display 14, respectively (see FIG. 12).

  The recipe display application is activated when the user touches the icon 30 of the recipe display application on the home screen of the electronic device 1. In the example of FIG. 4, the icon 30 of the recipe display application has a pan image attached thereto. The user can start the recipe display application by tapping the icon 30 with the pan image (an example of contact). Here, the hand mark shown in FIGS. 4, 7, and 10 indicates an image in which the user touches the display 14, and the hand mark is not displayed on the display 14.

  In the example of FIG. 4, icons 30 of a plurality of applications other than the recipe display application are displayed. An image 30 of a camera application (hereinafter simply referred to as a camera) is attached with an image of a single-lens reflex camera. In addition, an image of a musical note is attached to an icon 30 of a music playback application (hereinafter simply referred to as music playback). In addition, an icon 30 of a video playback application (hereinafter simply referred to as video playback) is provided with a triangle indicating playback and a double-line image indicating pause. A clock image is attached to the icon 30 of the kitchen timer application (hereinafter simply referred to as a timer). A letter image is attached to the icon 30 of the mail application (hereinafter simply referred to as mail). When these applications are registered in a toolbar 50 described later by the user, the toolbar 50 displays the registered application icons 30 in a line.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating screen division of the recipe display application. When the recipe display application is activated, the electronic device 1 divides the screen displayed on the display 14 into at least a first area 141 and a second area 142. The first area 141 is a dedicated area for displaying a recipe for cooking. The second area 142 displays an application other than the recipe display application. Here, the dedicated area for displaying the recipe for cooking means that the area is used for displaying only information related to the recipe for cooking. In the recipe display application, the first area 141 is used for searching, selecting, displaying details, and the like of recipes for cooking. The second area 142 is used for, for example, music playback, video playback, timer, mail or news browsing.

  The display of information related to the cooking recipe in the first area 141 and the application executed in the second area 142 are independent of each other and executed in parallel. The recipe of the same dish as the first area 141 is not displayed in the second area 142. That is, the screen division of the recipe display application is different from the two-division display of one recipe. Further, in the first area 141, processing (for example, music reproduction) other than the display of information related to the cooking recipe is not executed. Here, the positional relationship between the first region 141 and the second region 142 may be reversed. For example, contrary to FIG. 5, the second region 142 may be on the upper side and the first region 141 may be on the lower side. The sizes of the first region 141 and the second region 142 are not limited to a specific ratio. As an example, the ratio of the sizes of the first region 141 and the second region 142 may be 2: 1. Further, even when the boundary moves in accordance with a user operation (for example, an operation of sliding the boundary line between the two areas), the ratio of the sizes of the first area 141 and the second area 142 is changed. Good.

  In the example of FIG. 5, the recipe of the dish searched for and selected by the user is displayed in the first area 141. In the example of FIG. 5, a timer is displayed in the second area 142. Here, the timer is registered as a default application in the toolbar 50 described later.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the electronic device 1 displays a predetermined image (tab 41). When the electronic device 1 detects contact with the tab 41, the electronic device 1 switches between displaying and hiding the toolbar 50. In the example of FIG. 5, the toolbar 50 is in a non-display state.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating another screen division of the recipe display application. When the electronic device 1 detects that the user has tapped the tab 41 (an example of contact) on the screen of FIG. 5, the electronic device 1 displays the screen of FIG. 6. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the electronic device 1 divides the screen displayed on the display 14 into a first area 141, a second area 142, and a third area 143. That is, the electronic device 1 divides the screen so that the third region 143 is further included. Then, the electronic device 1 displays the toolbar 50 in the third region 143.

  In the present embodiment, the third region 143 is provided by dividing a part of the second region 142 of FIG. That is, as compared with FIG. 5, the second region 142 in FIG. 6 is narrower by the third region 143. The predetermined image (tab 41) for switching between display and non-display of the toolbar 50 is displayed so as to be movable along at least a part of the boundary of the second area 142 (that is, the display area of the execution application). Is done. In the example of FIG. 6, the tab 41 moves to the left and right along the lower side of the second region 142 (boundary with the third region 143) by the user's sliding operation. Since the tab 41 is movable, it is possible to make the display of the second region 142 narrowed by the third region 143 easier to see. For example, the user can prevent the numerical value display of the timer from being hidden by the tab 41 by sliding the tab 41 to the right end. Here, in the present embodiment, the tab 41 is movable even when the third region 143 is not displayed. For example, on the screen of FIG. 5, the tab 41 can move left and right along the lower side (boundary with the function bar) of the second region 142.

  In the present embodiment, the tab 41 is attached with an image indicating the direction. When the toolbar 50 is in a non-display state (see FIG. 5), an upward arrow (arrow head) is attached to the tab 41. When the toolbar 50 is displayed (see FIG. 6), the tab 41 has a downward arrow (arrow head). As described above, the predetermined image (tab 41) includes an image (for example, an arrow) that changes in accordance with the display or non-display of the tool bar 50, thereby enabling the user to operate intuitively.

  When the electronic device 1 detects that the user has tapped the tab 41 on the screen of FIG. 6, the electronic device 1 displays the screen of FIG. 5 again. That is, the third area 143 disappears (that is, the toolbar 50 is hidden), and the portion where the third area 143 is present becomes the second area 142.

(Toolbar)
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the toolbar 50. The toolbar 50 is a kind of launcher, and arranges applications that can be displayed in the second area 142 so as to be activated. The applications arranged on the toolbar 50 are not fixed and are determined based on the user's selection on the editing screen described later. Icons 30 corresponding to the applications selected by the user are arranged in a line on the toolbar 50. The toolbar 50 includes a setting icon 31 and a close icon 32 from the beginning. As shown in FIG. 7, the setting icon 31 and the close icon 32 are arranged in a line with the icon 30 corresponding to the application selected (or registered) by the user. Since the icons 30 are arranged in a line, the height of the toolbar 50 can be suppressed. Therefore, it can be avoided that the second region 142 is greatly narrowed by the third region 143 (toolbar 50).

  The toolbar 50 includes a movable part 51 and a fixed part 52. The fixing unit 52 includes a setting icon 31 and a close icon 32. In addition, the movable unit 51 includes application icons 30 registered by the user in the order designated by the user. The movable unit 51 can scroll in the direction in which the icons 30 are arranged (in the horizontal direction in the example of FIG. 7). Therefore, the user can display and touch the desired icon 30 by scrolling. On the other hand, the fixed part 52 cannot be scrolled. That is, the setting icon 31 and the close icon 32 are always displayed.

  When the user taps the icon 30 of the movable part 51 of the toolbar 50, the application corresponding to the icon 30 is executed in the second area 142. That is, when the icon 30 is tapped, the execution application in the second area 142 is switched. In the example of FIG. 7, the user taps the timer icon 30, and the timer is executed instead of the application (for example, music playback) executed in the second area 142.

  The setting icon 31 displays an editing screen of the toolbar 50 when the user touches it. The setting of the toolbar 50 can be changed on the editing screen. The user can execute, for example, addition and deletion of registered applications, setting of default applications, change of display order, and the like on the editing screen. Adding an application to be registered is to register a new application in the toolbar 50. When an application is newly registered, an icon 30 of the newly registered application is displayed on the toolbar 50. To delete a registered application, the application registered in the toolbar 50 is selected and deleted. When the registered application is deleted, the icon 30 of the application deleted from the toolbar 50 is also deleted. The default application setting is to automatically set an application to be executed in the second area 142 when the recipe display application is activated. The change of the display order is to change the arrangement of the application icons 30 registered in the toolbar 50.

  Here, the default application may be set according to a predetermined rule instead of (or in addition to) being set by the user. For example, an application that has been executed in the second area 142 at the end of the immediately preceding recipe display application may be set as a default application. Further, by adding an application to be registered, only an application that satisfies a predetermined condition may be registered. For example, the predetermined condition may be an application that does not require full screen display and can be displayed in the size of the second area 142.

  When the close icon 32 is touched by the user, the electronic device 1 closes (hides) the third region 143 and the second region 142. In other words, the toolbar 50 is hidden, and the execution application (application executed in the second area 142) is terminated or changed from foreground to background execution. For example, when an application such as a timer capable of operating in the background and music playback is an execution application, the application is changed to execution in the background when the close icon 32 is touched. For example, when an application such as news browsing that cannot be operated in the background is an execution application, the application is terminated when the close icon 32 is touched.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing another screen of the recipe display application. When the electronic device 1 detects that the close icon 32 of the toolbar 50 has been tapped, the electronic device 1 hides the third region 143 and the second region 142. And as shown in FIG. 8, the electronic device 1 displays a recipe on a full screen. Here, the fact that the third area 143 and the second area 142 are not displayed by touching the close icon 32 is not related to the type of the execution application in the second area 142 or the like. When the execution application is to be ended (or to be operated in the background), the user only needs to tap the close icon 32.

(Resume function)
Here, the recipe display application can be quickly restarted by the function described below when the display of the recipe is interrupted. FIG. 9 is a diagram exemplifying a screen when there is an incoming call while the electronic device 1 is executing the recipe display application. When there is an incoming call, the entire screen changes to a screen for answering the call, and the recipe display is interrupted. The electronic device 1 executes a telephone (call) process after storing the display contents of the recipe display application and the interruption by the incoming call, for example, in the storage 16.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a screen after the call is finished. The electronic device 1 displays the tab 41 and the selection screen 60 based on the interruption of the recipe display application and the termination of the interrupted application (phone in the example of FIG. 10). The tab 41 and the selection screen 60 are displayed so as to overlap the screen at the end of the application that interrupted the recipe display application. In the present embodiment, the tab 41 and the selection screen 60 are displayed, but only the selection screen 60 may be displayed as another example.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the tab 41 is displayed on the lower side (boundary with the function bar) of the call end screen. The tab 41 may be movable left and right in accordance with a user operation (for example, a slide operation). The selection screen 60 is displayed in the vicinity of the tab 41. As described above, the tab 41 is closely related to the toolbar 50 of the recipe display application. Therefore, by displaying the selection screen 60 in the vicinity of the tab 41, it is possible to intuitively inform the user that the selection screen 60 relates to the recipe display application.

  In the example of FIG. 10, the selection screen 60 includes a resume button 61 and an end button 62. That is, the selection screen 60 is displayed to the user so that recipe display and resumption or termination of the execution application can be selected. When the resume button 61 is tapped by the user, the electronic device 1 resumes the recipe display application from the time of interruption. Therefore, the user can quickly see the continuation of the recipe of the dish without performing a troublesome operation such as re-searching the recipe. When the end button 62 is tapped by the user, the recipe display application ends without restarting.

  Here, when the electronic device 1 according to the present embodiment executes another application due to an external factor during execution of the recipe display application, whether or not the other application is an application registered in the toolbar 50. Determine. For example, the telephone is not an application registered in the toolbar 50. In such a case, the electronic device 1 interrupts the recipe display application as described above and displays the selection screen 60 at the end of the talk.

  On the other hand, the electronic device 1 executes another application in the second area 142 without interrupting the recipe display application when the other application to be executed due to an external factor is an application registered in the toolbar 50. . FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a screen when an incoming mail is received. For example, e-mail is an application registered in the toolbar 50. When the other application is mail, the electronic device 1 changes the execution application to mail and displays the incoming mail in the second area 142. As described above, when the other application to be executed due to an external factor is an application registered in the toolbar 50, the electronic device 1 does not interrupt the entire recipe display application, and the recipe is displayed in the first area 141. Continue to display. The electronic device 1 allows the user to smoothly proceed with cooking by continuing to display the recipe as much as possible.

  Here, when another application to be executed due to an external factor is an application registered in the toolbar 50, the application executed in the second area 142 is terminated or changed to execution in the background. Is done. That is, handling of the application executed in the second area 142 is the same as when the close icon 32 is touched by the user.

(Change display according to direction)
In the present embodiment, the display of the first area 141, the second area 142, and the third area 143 is changed according to the orientation of the electronic device 1. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a screen when the electronic device 1 is in the landscape orientation. Here, as in the example of FIG. 6, when the orientation of the electronic device 1 is vertical (a state in which the short side of the display 14 is horizontal with respect to the user), from top to bottom in the vertical direction, The screen is divided into a first area 141, a second area 142, and a third area 143. When the orientation of the electronic device 1 is horizontal (the long side of the display 14 is in the horizontal direction with respect to the user), the screen is displayed in the first area 141 and the second area from left to right in the horizontal direction. 142 and a third region 143. Here, as another example, the screen may be divided into a first area 141, a second area 142, and a third area 143 in the horizontal direction from right to left.

  As in the example of FIG. 6, when the electronic device 1 is in the vertical orientation, the toolbar 50 is displayed above the home key (function bar) displayed on the display 14 in parallel with the lower side of the display 14. The On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12, when the orientation of the electronic device 1 is landscape, the tool bar 50 is displayed perpendicular to the lower side (and the function bar) of the display 14. When the orientation of the electronic device 1 is landscape, the tab 41 moves up and down along the right side of the second region 142 (boundary with the third region 143) by the user's sliding operation. The toolbar 50 also displays the icons 30 arranged in a line in the vertical direction.

  As described above, when the electronic apparatus 1 is in the horizontal direction, the first area 141, the second area 142, and the third area 143 are divided in the longitudinal direction so that the recipe can be displayed even in the horizontal direction. You can make it easier to see.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating the process of the recipe display application executed by the electronic device 1. At the start of the process shown in FIG. 13, the electronic device 1 is not executing the recipe display application and displays the home screen (see FIG. 4).

  The controller 11 of the electronic device 1 waits until it detects contact with the icon 30 of the recipe display application (No in step S1). If contact with the icon 30 of the recipe display application is detected (Yes in step S1), the controller 11 proceeds to the process in step S2.

  The controller 11 starts a recipe display application (step S2). The controller 11 divides the screen into a plurality of areas (step S3). When the recipe display application is activated, the screen is divided into at least two areas. Here, it is assumed that the screen is divided into three regions (a first region 141, a second region 142, and a third region 143). The number of areas at the time of starting the recipe display application may be settable on the setting screen of the electronic device 1, for example.

  The controller 11 displays the cooking recipe in the first area 141 (step S4). Prior to the display of the cooking recipe, the user may perform a food search and selection in the first area 141.

  The controller 11 displays a default application in the second area 142 (step S5). For example, when the default application is a timer, the timer is activated, and a screen for the user to set the timer time is displayed in the second area 142.

  The controller 11 displays the toolbar 50 in the third area 143 (step S6).

  The controller 11 waits until it detects contact with the toolbar icons (the icon 30 of the toolbar 50, the setting icon 31 and the close icon 32) (No in step S7). When the controller 11 detects that the user has touched any of the toolbar icons (Yes in step S7), the controller 11 proceeds to the process in step S8.

  When the application icon 30 is touched (Yes in step S8), the controller 11 displays the application selected on the toolbar 50 in the second area 142 (step S9). Thereafter, the controller 11 returns to the process of step S7.

  When the application icon 30 is not touched (No in step S8), the controller 11 proceeds to the process in step S10.

  When the setting icon 31 is touched (Yes in Step 10), the controller 11 displays the editing screen of the toolbar 50 (Step S11). When the user finishes editing the toolbar 50, the controller 11 returns to the process of step S7.

  When the setting icon 31 is not touched (No in Step S10), the controller 11 determines that the close icon 32 is touched. Then, the controller 11 closes the toolbar 50 and the execution application (step S12).

  As described above, the electronic apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment includes the display 14 and the controller 11. The controller 11 divides the screen displayed on the display 14 into a first area 141 and a second area 142, which are dedicated areas for displaying a recipe for cooking, and an application (execution application) in the second area 142. Is displayed. Therefore, the user can execute another application (for example, timer, music playback, etc.) in the second area 142 while watching the recipe. That is, the electronic device 1 can improve the operability of screen display.

  Further, the controller 11 causes the display 14 to display a toolbar 50 in which the application icons 30 including the execution application are arranged in a line so as to be in contact with the display area (second area 142) of the execution application. Therefore, the user can easily switch the execution application simply by touching the icon 30 on the toolbar 50. That is, the electronic device 1 can improve the operability of screen display.
