Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Device configuration]
FIG. 1A shows the appearance of the display device according to the embodiment. The display device 10 includes a display device (hereinafter, referred to as "touch panel display device") 10a including a touch panel as an input device and a display device (hereinafter, referred to as "mouse input display device") including a mouse as an input device. ) 10b. Examples of the touch panel type device 10a include smartphones, tablet terminals, car navigation devices, and the like. A personal computer can be used as the mouse input type device 10b. In the following description, when the touch panel type device 10a and the mouse input type display device 10b are not distinguished, they are simply referred to as "display device 10".

FIG. 1B is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of the display device 10. The display device 10 includes a CPU 11, a RAM 12, a ROM 13, a display unit 14, and an input unit 15. The ROM 13 stores programs of various applications. The CPU 11 executes various programs (hereinafter, also referred to as “app”) by executing the programs stored in the ROM 13. The RAM 12 functions as a working memory when the CPU 11 performs various processes. The CPU 11 functions as the detection unit of the present invention.

The display unit 14 displays various display contents during execution of the application. A user inputs an operation to the input unit 15 when starting or executing an application. When the display device 10 is the touch panel type display device 10 a, the input unit 15 is a touch panel provided on the display unit 14. When the display device 10 is the mouse input type display device 10b, the input unit 15 is a keyboard and a mouse.

[Display scroll bar]
(Basic processing)
Next, the display of the scroll bar in the embodiment will be described. FIG. 2A shows a display example when the navigation application is executed on the mouse input type display device 10b and the destination is set by address search. A list display unit 21, a scroll bar 22, a scroll operation area 23, and a cursor 24 are displayed on the display screen 20. The list display section 21 displays a list of prefectures. The scroll operation area 23 is an area in which the scroll bar 22 can move. The cursor 24 indicates the position selected by operating the mouse. The scroll bar 22 corresponds to the scroll operation unit of the present invention.

The user can select an item by operating the mouse and clicking at the position of the item displayed in the list display unit 21. When the user wants to display an item that is not displayed on the list display unit 21, the user performs a scroll operation. That is, the user operates the mouse to move the cursor 24 to the position of the scroll bar 22 and performs an up/down drag operation (an operation of moving up/down while clicking the mouse) to move the list display unit 21 up/down. Can be scrolled. Specifically, when the user moves the scroll bar 22 upward in the scroll operation area 23, the display content of the list display unit 21 scrolls upward, and the contents of “Tohoku region” above “Kanto region” are displayed. The item appears in the list display section 21. On the other hand, when the user moves the scroll bar 22 downward in the scroll operation area 23, the display content of the list display unit 21 scrolls downward, and items below "Niigata Prefecture" in "Chubu region" are displayed in a list. Appears in section 21.

The size (size) of the scroll bar 22 is variable according to the information amount of the entire display content displayed on the list display unit 21. Specifically, the size of the scroll bar 22 is changed according to the ratio of the information amount currently displayed on the list display unit 21 to the information amount of the entire display content that can be displayed on the list display unit 21. Since the amount of information that can be displayed on the list display portion 21 at a time is fixed, the scroll bar 22 becomes larger (longer) as the information amount of the entire display contents decreases, and the scroll bar 22 becomes larger as the information amount of the entire display contents increases. It becomes smaller (shorter). FIG. 2B shows a display example when an English word starting with “d” is displayed on the dictionary application. In this case, since there are many English words starting with "d" and the amount of information in the entire display content is large, the scroll bar 22 is smaller than that in the example of FIG.

As described above, when the information amount of the entire display content is large, the scroll bar 22 becomes smaller accordingly, but there is a problem that the scroll operation becomes difficult when the scroll bar 22 becomes small. The scroll operation is performed by placing the cursor 24 on the position of the scroll bar 22 and dragging it up and down. However, when the scroll bar 22 becomes smaller, it becomes difficult to place the cursor 24 on the position of the scroll bar 22.

This also applies to the touch panel type display device 10a. In the case of the touch panel display device 10a, there is no cursor 24 on the display screen 20, and the user directly touches (contacts) the portion of the scroll bar 22 with a finger or a touch pen and drags the scroll bar 22 up and down to perform a scroll operation. Done. Therefore, even in this case, the scroll operation becomes difficult when the information amount of the entire display content is large and the scroll bar 22 is small.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the position of the cursor 24 on the mouse input type display device 10b or the touch position on the touch panel type display device 10a (hereinafter, both are referred to as "instruction position") enters the scroll operation area 23. If so, the display mode of the scroll bar 22 is changed. Specifically, the scroll bar 22 is enlarged and displayed. As a result, the user can easily drag the scroll bar 22 with the cursor 24 or his/her finger, and can easily perform the scroll operation. As a method of enlarging the scroll bar 22, for example, when the scroll direction is the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 2, the vertical length of the scroll bar 22 is increased, and when the scroll direction is the horizontal direction. Increases the horizontal length of the scroll bar 22.

FIG. 3A shows a state in which, in the display example shown in FIG. 2B, the designated position of the cursor 24 enters the scroll operation area 23, and as a result, the scroll bar 22 is enlarged. The enlarged scroll bar 22x is longer in the up-down direction than the scroll bar 22 shown in FIG. FIG. 3B shows a state where the scroll bar 22x after enlargement is dragged by the cursor 24. The designated position of the cursor 24 is moved to the enlarged scroll bar 22x. In this way, by enlarging the scroll bar 22 when the position indicated by the cursor 24 enters the scroll operation area 23, it becomes possible to easily perform the scroll operation by dragging the scroll bar 22 thereafter.

3A and 3B show display examples in the case of the mouse input type display device 10b, the same applies to the case of the touch panel type display device 10a. When the designated position for external input, that is, the touch position of the user's finger or touch pen enters the scroll operation area 23, an enlarged scroll bar 22x may be displayed as shown in FIG. This allows the user to easily drag the scroll bar 22x with a finger or the like to perform a scroll operation.

(Applied processing 1)
In the above example, the scroll bar 22 is enlarged when the pointing position of the cursor 24 or the user's finger enters the scroll operation area 23, but in addition to this, a method other than the method of using the scroll bar 22 Therefore, the scroll bar 22 may be enlarged when the scroll operation is actually started. For example, in the case of the mouse input type display device 12b, the display content can be scrolled up and down by operating the mouse wheel. Further, in the case of the touch panel display device 10a, the display content can be scrolled vertically or horizontally by a so-called flick operation or swipe operation. In addition, "flick operation" means an operation of moving a finger or the like touching the touch panel in a certain direction such as blowing or flipping, and "swipe operation" means moving a finger or the like touching the touch panel in a certain direction to sweep it. Say the operation.

The display content can be scrolled by these operations, but if the scroll amount is large, the scroll operation is difficult and time consuming. That is, since the scroll amount by one operation of the mouse wheel operation or the flick/swipe operation is small, the same operation must be repeated in order to scroll the display content largely. Therefore, when it is detected that the user has started scrolling by these operations, the scroll bar 22 is enlarged and displayed as shown in FIG. As a result, the user determines that it is easier to scroll at once by operating the enlarged scroll bar 22x than to repeat the mouse wheel operation and the flick/swipe operation, and switch to the scroll operation using the scroll bar 22x. You can This applied process 1 can be executed in combination with the above-mentioned basic process.

(Applied processing 2)
Further, the scroll bar 22 may be enlarged when the information content of the entire display content is large, and the scroll bar 22 may not be enlarged when the information content of the entire display content is small. This is because when the amount of information in the entire display content is small, the ratio of the amount of information displayed in the list display unit 21 to the amount of information in the entire display content is relatively large, so the scroll bar 22 originally has a certain size. This is because it is displayed with. Specifically, the scroll bar 22 may be enlarged and displayed when the information amount of the entire display content is larger than a predetermined amount, and the scroll bar 22 may not be enlarged when the information amount is smaller than the predetermined amount. The application process 2 may be executed in combination with the basic process, or may be executed in combination with the basic process and the application process 1.

(Applied processing 3)
Based on the same idea, whether or not to enlarge the scroll bar 22 may be determined based on the size of the scroll bar 22 currently displayed. Although there are some individual differences, the size of the scroll bar 22 that allows the scroll operation to be easily performed with a mouse, a finger or the like is a certain size. Therefore, the size of the scroll bar 22 that allows a standard user to easily perform a scroll operation is determined in advance as a basic size, and when the size of the scroll bar 22 currently displayed is smaller than the basic size, the scroll bar 22 is enlarged. It may be done. That is, when the size indicated by the user enters the scroll operation area 23 or the scroll operation is started by another operation method, and the size of the scroll bar 22 currently being displayed is smaller than the basic size, the scroll bar 22 is opened. If the size is enlarged and the size is larger than the basic size, the scroll bar 22 may be displayed as it is without being enlarged. The application process 2 may be executed in combination with the basic process, or may be executed in combination with the basic process and the application process 1.

[Display processing]
Next, display processing by the display device 10 will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the display process. This processing is performed by the CPU 11 of the display device 10 executing a program prepared in advance to control the display unit 14 and the input unit 15. It should be noted that this display processing is an example in the case where the above-described basic processing and applied processing 1 are combined.

First, when a predetermined application is activated, the CPU 11 displays the display content and the scroll bar 22 on the display unit 14 (step S10). For example, the display unit 20 displays the display screen 20 shown in FIG. Next, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the scroll operation is started, based on the input operation by the user detected by the input unit 15 (step S11). Specifically, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the scroll operation is started by the mouse wheel operation or the flick/swipe operation as described above.

When the scroll operation is started (step S11: Yes), the process proceeds to step S13. On the other hand, when the scroll operation is not started (step S11: No), the CPU 11 determines whether or not the position designated by the mouse or the finger enters the scroll operation area 23 (step S12). When the designated position is not within the scroll operation area 23 (step S12: No), the process returns to step S10.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S11 that the scroll operation has started, and if it is determined in step S12 that the designated position has entered the scroll operation area 23, the CPU 11 enlarges and displays the scroll bar 22 (step S13). As a result, the scroll bar 22 is enlarged as shown in FIG. 3A (see the scroll bar 22x), and the user can easily perform a scroll operation using the scroll bar 22.

Next, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the scroll operation by the scroll bar 22 has been started (step S14). After the scroll bar 22 is enlarged, if the scroll operation is not started for the fixed time (step S14: No), the process returns to step S10. On the other hand, when the scroll operation is started (step S14: Yes), the CPU 11 performs scroll processing (step S15). Specifically, the CPU 11 controls the display unit 14 to update the display content according to the scroll amount of the user and move the position of the scroll bar 22 in the scroll operation area 23.

Next, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the scroll operation has ended (step S16). When the scroll operation is not completed (step S16: No), the CPU 11 continues the scroll process. On the other hand, when the scroll operation is completed (step S16: Yes), the CPU 11 returns to step S10 and returns the scroll bar 22 to the normal display before enlargement. It should be noted that this display process ends due to termination of the application or the like.

[Modification]
(Modification 1)
It may be determined whether or not to enlarge the scroll bar, depending on whether or not the content displayed on the list display unit 21 is such that the entire information amount is known. For example, in the case of displaying information such as the list of prefectures and the list of addresses shown in the example of FIG. It is not necessary to be able to grasp the total number of cases by. Therefore, the size of the scroll bar 22 is not changed according to the total amount of information, and is fixed and displayed at a size such as the above-described basic size that facilitates the scroll operation. On the other hand, in the case of displaying a search result or the like whose total number is unknown, it is necessary to check the size of the scroll bar 22 so that the total number can be grasped. Therefore, usually, the size of the scroll bar 22 is changed and displayed according to the total amount of information, and when the designated position enters the scroll operation unit 23 as described above, or scrolling is performed by the mouse wheel or flick/swipe operation. When the operation is started, the scroll bar 22 is enlarged.

(Modification 2)
In the above embodiment, the scroll bar 22x is returned to the original size when the scroll operation using the enlarged scroll bar 22x is completed, but instead, the user grasps the enlarged scroll bar 22x. At this time, specifically, the scroll bar 22x may be returned to the original size when the user starts the scroll operation using the scroll bar 22x after enlargement with the cursor 24 or the finger. However, as shown in FIG. 5A, the user starts the scroll operation by grasping the enlarged portion of the scroll bar 22x after enlargement (that is, grasping the upper end or the lower end of the scroll bar 22x after enlargement with the cursor 24 or a finger). In this case, if the size of the scroll bar 22x is returned to the original size, the user may feel uncomfortable on the display screen as if he/she is grasping a portion other than the scroll bar 22 and performing a scroll operation. Therefore, when the user starts a scroll operation using the scroll bar 22x after enlargement, as shown in FIG. 5B, the enlarged portion of the scroll bar after enlargement may be made transparent or may be colored in a different color. This allows the user to perform a scroll operation while observing the size of the original scroll bar 22 and being aware of the total amount of information displayed.
