FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of identification, in which a screen display of a mobile terminal including two virtual surfaces is distinguished / identified by shading of a display color for each virtual surface. In FIG. 5, two transparent surfaces are displayed in an overlapping manner, and information on the two surfaces is simultaneously displayed. At that time, for example, the characters on the two surfaces are each set to “2” (at 256 gradations)
55 and 128, and the respective surfaces are distinguished / identified by the shading of the color.

FIG. 6 shows an example in which a screen display of a portable terminal composed of two virtual planes different from those of FIGS. 4 and 5 is distinguished / identified by display attributes of the virtual planes. It is a figure of the example which distinguishes / identifies the screen display of a portable terminal by the size of the display character for every virtual surface. In FIG. 6, two transparent surfaces are displayed in an overlapping manner, and information on the two surfaces is displayed simultaneously. At that time,
For example, if the characters on the two surfaces are each
It is displayed in 100% and 90% sizes (assuming it is 00%), and each face is distinguished / identified by the character size.

As display attributes for distinguishing / identifying virtual surfaces,
Instead of differences in display colors, shades of display colors, and sizes of display characters, shapes, positions, and the like may be used as display attributes. Further, the virtual surface may be distinguished / identified by combining a plurality of display attributes among these. In addition, it is also possible to arbitrarily set the number of virtual planes to be displayed at a time and to display them.

FIG. 7 is an example in which a screen display of a portable terminal composed of two virtual planes different from those of FIGS. 4 to 6 is distinguished / identified by display attributes of the virtual planes, and one virtual plane displayed on the screen. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of displaying a schedule in units of months and days, and is a diagram illustrating an example in which a screen display of a mobile terminal including two virtual surfaces is distinguished / identified by a difference in display color for each virtual surface. In FIG.
Two transparent surfaces are superimposed and displayed, and information on the two surfaces is displayed simultaneously. At that time, for example, the month schedule is displayed in black, the day schedule is displayed in other colors, and the side displaying the month schedule and the side displaying the day schedule are displayed in different colors. Distinguish / Identify. In addition, different colors are displayed every day to further enhance the visibility.

FIG. 8 shows an example in which a screen display of a portable terminal composed of two different virtual planes from those of FIGS. 4 to 7 is distinguished / identified by display attributes of the virtual planes. One virtual plane displayed on the screen is shown. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of displaying a schedule in units of months and days, and is a diagram illustrating an example in which a screen display of a mobile terminal including two virtual surfaces is distinguished / identified by a difference in display color for each virtual surface.

An example in which the display virtual plane is switched according to the setting of the user of the portable terminal composed of two virtual planes will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of switching a display virtual plane according to a setting of a user of a mobile terminal configured with two virtual planes, in which the Japanese Constitution is displayed in chapter units and the display is switched. It is. For example, when chapters 8 and 9 are displayed as shown in FIG. 9a, the next chapter (another surface) as shown in FIG. 9b and a further next chapter as shown in FIG. Will be displayed. If the setting is changed automatically, the chapter is displayed from the beginning at the beginning, but it is also possible to display another chapter (another surface) one after another by the timer. Note that it is also possible to arbitrarily switch the switching time of the display virtual plane and the number of switching planes to change the display (for example, when switching in units of two screens, switch from FIG. 9A to FIG. 9C). Further, the automatic switching of the display virtual plane can be stopped / restarted as necessary.

By switching the display virtual plane according to the user's setting, it is possible to quickly view information from a large amount of limited information only by displaying the virtual plane once, and according to the user's setting. By setting the switching of the display virtual plane arbitrarily (automatic or manual, switching time, number of screens), the complexity of screen switching can be reduced and operability can be improved. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a display virtual surface is switched according to a user setting to display / recognize a large amount of information. For example, even if the information cannot be displayed / recognized in a single virtual plane display as shown in FIG. 10a or 20 screens in total, as shown in FIGS. By displaying and switching the display, information can be displayed / recognized.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of switching of the display virtual plane according to the setting of the user of the portable terminal composed of two virtual planes different from FIG. This is an example of displaying. For example, the first day (18
The date is displayed from the day (FIG. 11a), but is displayed from another day (the next day) by a user operation such as clicking (FIG. 11b). Also, if you set it to change automatically,
Initially, the date is displayed from the day, but another day can be displayed one after another by the timer.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example for switching a virtual plane by a user operation. A button / icon for switching an arbitrary display virtual plane is prepared at an arbitrary position on the mobile terminal as shown in FIG. 12A, or a display virtual plane is switched when a specific area on the screen is selected as shown in FIG. 12B. Thereby, the display virtual plane is switched by the user's operation.

An example will be described in which the display attribute is changed based on the designation of the user of the portable terminal composed of two virtual planes to change the virtual plane to be displayed with attention. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a change in a virtual plane displayed by changing a display attribute based on a user's designation of a mobile terminal including two virtual planes and displaying the constitution. This is an example in which the display is changed and the display is changed. For example, as shown in FIG.
When a chapter is displayed, the display attributes are changed by a user operation such as a click as shown in FIG. 13B, and the nine chapters are brought to the front, for example, and the nine chapters are displayed with attention. In addition, if the display attribute is set to be changed automatically, a timer is used to display another surface one after another, and if necessary, the change of the display attribute is stopped to display the virtual surface to be displayed with attention. It can be changed. The display change time of the display virtual surface and the number of display attribute change surfaces can be arbitrarily changed.

By changing the display attribute based on the user's specification and changing the virtual plane to be displayed with attention, the necessary information can be focused on from among a large number of limited information in a single virtual plane display. The display attribute can be changed according to the user's specification, and the change of the virtual plane to be displayed with the focus can be arbitrarily set (automatic or manual, display attribute change time,
Number of screens) can reduce the complexity of screen changes,
Operability can be improved.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example for explaining that the display attributes can be changed based on the designation of the user and the virtual plane to be displayed with attention can be changed arbitrarily. For example, as shown in FIG. 14A, five pieces of information can be displayed by focusing on only fixed information in a single virtual plane display. However, as shown in FIGS. 14B and 14C, display attributes are changed based on a user's designation. By displaying an arbitrary surface in the foreground, arbitrary information can be displayed with attention.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a change in the virtual plane displayed by changing the display attribute based on the designation of the user of the portable terminal composed of two virtual planes different from FIG. In this example, the schedule is displayed in units of months and days. For example, although the display is initially started from the current day (18th) (FIG. 15a), the display attribute is changed by a user operation such as a click to display the next day with attention (FIG. 15b). In addition, if the display attributes are set to be changed automatically, the timer is used to display another day after another, and the change of the display attributes is stopped as needed to display the virtual surface to be displayed. It can be changed.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example for changing a display attribute by a user's operation and changing a virtual plane to be displayed with attention. A button / icon for changing an arbitrary display attribute is prepared at an arbitrary position on the mobile terminal as shown in FIG.
When a specific area on the screen is selected as shown in FIG. 6b, the display attribute is changed, or as many buttons / icons as the number of virtual planes displayed simultaneously as shown in FIG. By changing the display attribute by preparing and selecting the virtual surface, and bringing that surface to the foreground, it is possible to specify the virtual surface to be displayed with attention by the user's operation.

The display position of the predetermined display information data is arbitrarily changed in units of planes (pages) or in units of individual display information data, based on the display conditions. An example will be described.

FIG. 17 shows a screen display of a portable terminal composed of two virtual planes. The display position of display information data which is determined in advance based on display conditions such as overlap of display information display is determined in units of plane (page). It is a figure of an example which changes arbitrarily for each display information data unit. In FIG. 17a, when displaying by a virtual surface, switching the display of the virtual surface, or changing the display attribute of the virtual surface, two transparent surfaces are superimposed and displayed, and information on the two surfaces is displayed simultaneously. The characters on the two surfaces are indicated by “255” and “128” (in 256 gradations), respectively, to distinguish / identify the respective surfaces by shading of the color. At that time, for example, as shown in FIG.
The display position of the display information of the second virtual surface is automatically changed so that the display information of the virtual surface of the second surface and the display information of the second virtual surface are not displayed as overlapping as much as possible.

By arbitrarily changing the display position of predetermined display information data in units of planes (pages) or individual display information data in accordance with display conditions such as overlapping display of display information, the virtual plane By simply changing the display, display switching, and display attributes, you can more clearly distinguish / identify limited display information, display more information more clearly on a small screen, and see information more quickly from a large amount of information. And can display necessary information from a lot of information with more attention.

FIGS. 18 to 20 show an example in which the display position of the display information data determined in advance is determined in units of planes (pages) or individual display information data units based on display conditions such as overlapping display information. It is a figure of the example explaining change of. In FIG. 18, three chapters of the Constitution of Japan are displayed as three virtual planes, and each plane is distinguished / identified by shading of color. The mobile terminal shifts the display position so that the display information of the rear surface does not overlap the display information of the foreground (attention surface) and sequentially displays the display information of the rear surface. For example, FIG.
19, the display position is changed for every display information on the same surface, or for example, as shown in FIG. 20, the display position is changed for each display information on the same surface.

Whether or not to change the display position of the display information, whether or not to change the display position of the display information according to the degree of overlap of the display information, and the threshold at that time are changed according to the display conditions. It is also possible to set so that. Also, regarding the method of changing the display position of the display information, the display position of the display information can be changed by arbitrarily shifting the display position, the display position of the display information can be changed to a place where the screen space is sufficient, or the display information data can be changed. Depending on the type, etc.
The trend of the display position of the display information is statistically obtained, and when the display position of the display information is changed, the display position of the display information may be changed to a position where the appearance of the display position is statistically small. It becomes possible.

By arbitrarily changing the display position of the predetermined display information data in units of planes (pages) or individual display information data based on the display conditions, the screen space of the portable terminal can be used effectively. Smooth screen display, display switching, and display attribute change can be realized.
