The position information is output together with a touch event (hereinafter referred to as TE) that is information indicating that an object contact has occurred. In other words, TE is information including position information. In addition, the detection area in which the touch operation unit 5 according to the present embodiment detects contact of an object is the entire surface (operation surface) on which the hard keys of the second housing are arranged. That is, the operation surface of the second housing is the detection surface of the touch operation unit 5. Therefore, the key top surface of the hard key is a part of the detection unit and is included in the detection area. In addition, although the said sensor with which the touch operation part 5 is provided is a capacitive sensor, for example, it is not limited to this example. The mode change key 6 is a physical key that is pressed by the user to change the mode of the mobile terminal 1.

When the mode change key 6 is pressed by the user, it outputs a signal indicating that it has been pressed (press signal). In addition, when the mode change key 6 is released by the user, the mode change key 6 outputs a signal (release signal) indicating that the depression has been released.

  In the present specification, an example in which the information processing apparatus according to the present invention is applied to a mobile terminal 1 that is a so-called foldable mobile phone will be described, but the application example is not limited to the mobile terminal 1. For example, the mobile phone may be a straight type, a slide type, or a biaxial hinge type.

The present invention may be applied to an apparatus.

  Next, the configuration of the main part of the mobile terminal 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of the mobile terminal 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile terminal 1 includes a control unit 2, a storage unit 3, a display unit 4, a touch operation unit 5, and a mode change key 6. Since details of the display unit 4, the touch operation unit 5, and the mode change key 6 have already been described, description thereof is omitted here.

  The storage unit 3 stores various data used by the mobile terminal 1. The storage unit 3 stores at least a display content 31 and a change parameter 32 (hereinafter, changed PM 32). The display content 31 is display target data to be displayed on the display unit 4, and is data in which a partial region is displayed on the display unit 4 (larger than the display region of the display unit 4). In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the display content 31 is content including data of a plurality of photographs (images), and the Y axis of the XY plane (see FIG. 4) virtually set in the display unit 4 Although described as content that can be scrolled in the direction, the present invention is not limited to this example. Moreover, the display content 31 is not limited to what was memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 3, For example, the portable terminal 1 may acquire via the communication part (not shown). The change PM 32 is information indicating the scroll direction and speed (mode). In the present embodiment, the scroll direction information is “1” for the positive direction (upward direction) of the Y axis, “2” for the negative direction (downward direction), and when it is not in either direction (stationary state). “0” and a one-digit number, and the speed information is a numerical value of the speed determined by the change parameter determination unit 22 described later. The scroll direction information is not limited to the above example as long as the above three cases can be distinguished. The change PM 32 may be stored in a temporary storage unit (not shown) that temporarily stores information, or may be held by a change parameter determination unit 22 described later.

  The control unit 2 controls the functions of the mobile terminal 1 in an integrated manner. The control unit 2 includes a mode determining unit 21, a changed parameter determining unit 22 (first parameter determining unit, second parameter determining unit, third parameter determining unit, fourth parameter determining unit, hereinafter, changed PM determining unit. 22), a display change unit 23, and a display control unit 24.

  The mode determination unit 21 determines the mode of the mobile terminal 1. Specifically, the mode determination unit 21 obtains a press signal and a release signal from the mode change key 6, and changes the mode of the mobile terminal 1 to a mode (hereinafter referred to as “continuous SR processing”) for executing a continuous scroll process (hereinafter referred to as “continuous SR process”). SR mode) or a mode for executing normal processing (hereinafter referred to as normal mode). That is, the mode determination unit 21 can also be expressed as a specifying unit that specifies whether or not the mode change key 6 has received a predetermined operation (that is, a pressing operation). In the following description, the normal mode is described as a mode in which a single scroll is executed in response to a drag operation received by the touch operation unit 5, but is not limited to this example.

  The changed PM determining unit 22 determines the scroll direction and speed in the continuous SR process according to the drag operation. Then, the change PM 32 is updated using the determined scroll direction and speed information, and the display change unit 23 is instructed to execute the scroll. The display changing unit 23 performs scrolling in response to an instruction from the changed PM determining unit 22. Specifically, the display change unit 23 generates data of a screen (hereinafter referred to as a display screen) displayed on the display unit 4 after scrolling using the display content 31 and outputs the data to the display control unit 24. The display control unit 24 displays the display target on the display unit 4. Specifically, the display control unit 24 causes the display unit 4 to display a display screen using the data received from the display change unit 23.

  Here, the processes of the mode determination unit 21, the changed PM determination unit 22, the display change unit 23, and the display control unit 24 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a screen transition diagram when the mobile terminal 1 executes continuous SR processing, FIG. 4 is a screen transition diagram following FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a screen transition following (b) of FIG. It is a figure and is a figure which shows the example different from (c) and (d) of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, when the user presses the mode change key 6, a press signal is supplied from the mode change key 6 to the mode determination unit 21. Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 3B, when the touch operation unit 5 receives a touch operation at the position A <b> 1 (operation to bring the indicator into contact with or close to the position), the position indicating the coordinates of the position A <b> 1 from the touch operation unit 5. The TE including the information is supplied to the mode determination unit 21. The mode determination unit 21 associates time information indicating the time when the TE is acquired with the position information included in the acquired TE. Here, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, when the latest signal acquired from the mode change key 6 is a pressed signal at the time of acquiring TE, the mode determination unit 21 determines that the mobile terminal 1 Is determined as the continuous SR mode. Then, information indicating the continuous SR mode is output to the changed PM determination unit 22 and the display control unit 24. When the display control unit 24 acquires the information, the display unit 4 causes the display unit 4 to display an image indicating that the current mode is the continuous SR mode, as illustrated in FIG. In addition, the structure which displays the image which shows that the present mode is continuous SR mode on the display part 4 is an example, and the method of alert | reporting that the present mode is continuous SR mode to a user is not limited to this example. . For example, sound may be output from a speaker (not shown) included in the mobile terminal 1, an LED (light emitting diode, not shown) included in the mobile terminal 1 may be lit or blinked, or the mobile terminal 1 may The portable terminal 1 may be vibrated by operating a vibration unit (not shown) provided.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, when the touch operation unit 5 accepts a touch operation (hereinafter, a drag operation) in which the touch position continuously moves from the position A1 to the position B1, the drag operation is performed. A plurality of TEs corresponding to a plurality of touch operations included are supplied to the mode determination unit 21. The mode determination unit 21 associates time information with each piece of position information included in the plurality of TEs. Then, with reference to the time information, position information indicating the start position of the drag operation (position A1 in FIG. 4A) (hereinafter referred to as start position information) and the end position of the drag operation (FIG. 4A) Position information (hereinafter referred to as end position information) indicating the position B1) is output to the changed PM determining unit 22.

When the changed PM determining unit 22 acquires information indicating the continuous SR mode from the mode determining unit 21, the changed PM determining unit 22 initializes the changed PM 32. Thereby, the initial value is stored in the storage unit 3 as the changed PM 32. Note that the initial value may be a value that does not cause scrolling, and in this embodiment, “0” is stored as the initial value of the scroll direction and speed. Then, when the changed PM determination unit 22 acquires the information indicating the continuous SR mode and then acquires the start position information and the end position information, the Y coordinate (hereinafter referred to as Y _A ) of the coordinates indicated by the start position information, the end position The direction of the drag operation from the Y coordinate (hereinafter referred to as Y _B ) of the coordinates indicated by the information, and the Y-axis direction of the moving distance (specifically, the moving distance on the touch operation unit 5 of the indicator that inputs the drag operation) A component (hereinafter referred to as ΔY) is specified. More specifically, the changed PM determining unit 22 specifies the direction of the drag operation from the magnitude relationship between Y _A and Y _B. In the present embodiment, when Y _A <Y _B , it is specified that the drag operation is in the positive direction (upward) of the Y axis (see FIG. 4A). On the other hand, when Y _A > Y _B , it is specified that the drag operation is in the negative direction (downward) of the Y axis. Further, the changed PM determining unit 22 specifies ΔY from the absolute value of the difference between Y _A and Y _B.

  Then, the changed PM determining unit 22 determines the scroll direction from the direction of the drag operation. Specifically, when the direction of the drag operation is upward, the scroll direction is determined to be upward. On the other hand, when the direction of the drag operation is downward, the scroll direction is determined downward. The “upward scrolling” is to display a part of the display content 31 hidden under the display unit 4 shown in FIG. 4, and the “downward scrolling” is shown in FIG. It is to display a part of the display content 31 hidden on the upper side of the display unit 4. Further, the scroll direction corresponding to the direction of the drag operation in the present embodiment is an example, and is not limited to the above example. For example, when the direction of the drag operation is the upward direction, the scroll direction may be determined as the downward direction. Further, the changed PM determining unit 22 determines the scroll speed by multiplying the specified ΔY by a predetermined coefficient α. The changed PM determination unit 22 updates the changed PM 32 using the determined scroll direction and speed information, and instructs the display change unit 23 to execute scrolling of the display target (display content 31).

  Upon receiving an instruction from the changed PM determining unit 22, the display changing unit 23 reads the changed PM 32 and acquires information on the scroll direction and speed. Then, a display screen when scrolling is executed in the direction and speed of the scroll is generated, and the generated display screen data is output to the display control unit 24. Thereafter, the display changing unit 23 scrolls by repeatedly generating the display screen based on the changed PM 32 and outputting the generated display screen data to the display control unit 24 until receiving an instruction from the new changed PM determining unit 22. Continue to execute. The display control unit 24 continuously displays a plurality of data received from the display change unit 23 on the display unit 4. Specifically, each display screen from the display screen shown in FIG. 4A to the display screen shown in FIG. 4C is displayed on the display unit 4 in accordance with the data received from the display change unit 23. . Thereby, the user can visually recognize the scroll of the display content 31.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 4D, when the user releases the pressed state of the mode change key 6, a release signal is supplied from the mode change key 6 to the mode determination unit 21. When the mode determination unit 21 acquires the release signal, the mode determination unit 21 outputs information indicating the normal mode to the changed PM determination unit 22. When the changed PM determining unit 22 acquires information indicating the normal mode, the changed PM determining unit 22 instructs the display changing unit 23 to stop scrolling. The display changing unit 23 receives the instruction and stops generating the display screen. As a result, the display control unit 24 does not display a new display screen, so that the scrolling is stopped as shown in FIG. When the display control unit 24 does not acquire new display screen data, the display control unit 24 does not display an image indicating that the current mode is the continuous SR mode, as illustrated in FIG.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, FIG. 5 shows processing when the touch operation unit 5 accepts a new drag operation when the display content 31 is continuously scrolled. The description will be given with reference. Note that the time required for the screen transition from FIG. 4B to FIG. 4C and the time required for the screen transition from FIG. 5A to FIG. 5B are the same. As shown in FIG. 5A, when the touch operation unit 5 receives a new drag operation (drag operation from the position A2 to the position B2), the mode determination unit 21 starts the position information indicating the position A2 and the position B2. Is output to the changed PM determining unit 22. The changed PM determining unit 22 determines the scroll direction and speed based on the acquired start position information and end position information, and updates the changed PM 32. The details of the determination of the scroll direction and speed have been described above, and a description thereof will be omitted here. Further, since the drag operation shown in FIG. 5A has a larger ΔY than the drag operation shown in FIG. 4A, the determined scroll speed is larger than the scroll speed in the example of FIG. Become.

  The display changing unit 23 receives the instruction from the changed PM determining unit 22, reads the updated changed PM 32, and acquires information indicating a new scroll direction and speed. Then, by continuously generating the display screen based on the information and outputting the display screen to the display control unit 24, the display content 31 displayed on the display unit 4 is continuously scrolled. As described above, since the scroll speed in the example of FIG. 5 is larger than the scroll speed in the example of FIG. 4, the scroll in the example of FIG. 5 is faster than the example of FIG. That is, as shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C, the scroll movement amount when the elapsed time is the same is larger in the example of FIG. The correspondence relationship between ΔY and the scroll speed shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is an example, and is not limited to this example.

  So far, the process when the mode of the mobile terminal 1 is the continuous SR mode has been described. On the other hand, when the mode of the mobile terminal 1 is the normal mode, specifically, when the latest signal acquired from the mode change key 6 is the release signal when the mode determination unit 21 acquires TE, the mode determination unit 21 determines the mode of the portable terminal 1 to the normal mode. Then, information indicating the normal mode is output to the changed PM determination unit 22. The changed PM determining unit 22 outputs the scroll direction and speed information determined by the same method as in the continuous SR mode to the display changing unit 23. The display change unit 23 generates a display screen based on the received information and outputs the display screen to the display control unit 24. As a result, the display content 31 is scrolled based on the movement amount of the user's drag operation and stopped.

  The difference between the continuous SR mode and the normal mode will be described in detail. In the case of the continuous SR mode, the display changing unit 23 performs a process of repeatedly generating a display screen based on the read changed PM 32 and outputting it to the display control unit 24 until receiving a new instruction from the changed PM determining unit 22. On the other hand, in the normal mode, the process is not executed. In other words, in the normal mode, when the scroll direction and speed information is received from the changed PM determination unit 22, the display screen is generated based on the information and output to the display control unit 24 only once.

  As described above, in the continuous SR mode, if the user performs a drag operation once on the touch operation unit 5, scrolling is continuously performed without performing a drag operation thereafter. On the other hand, in the normal mode, it is necessary to continuously perform a drag operation on the touch operation unit 5 in order for the user to continuously execute scrolling.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the process which the portable terminal 1 performs is demonstrated. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the mode determination process executed by the mobile terminal 1, and FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the continuous SR process executed by the mobile terminal 1.

  First, the mode determination part 21 is waiting for TE (S1, operation reception step). When TE is acquired (YES in S1), the mode determination unit 21 specifies whether or not the mode change key 6 is pressed (S2). Specifically, the mode determination unit 21 specifies whether or not the latest signal acquired from the mode change key 6 is a press signal at the time of acquiring TE. If the mode change key 6 has not been pressed (NO in S2), the mode determination unit 21 determines the mode of the mobile terminal 1 to be the normal mode, and the mobile terminal 1 executes normal processing (S3). Note that description of the normal processing is omitted here. On the other hand, when the mode change key 6 is pressed (YES in S2), the mode determination unit 21 determines the mode of the portable terminal 1 to the continuous SR mode, and the portable terminal 1 executes the continuous SR process (S4).

  Next, the flow of continuous SR processing will be described. The mode determination unit 21 outputs information indicating the continuous SR mode to the changed PM determination unit 22 and the display control unit 24. When the display control unit 24 acquires the information, the display control unit 24 displays an image indicating that the continuous SR mode is set on the display unit 4 (S11). Further, the changed PM determination unit 22 initializes the changed PM 32 (S12). Thereby, the change PM32 becomes an initial value. Subsequently, the mode determination unit 21 enters a state of waiting for information from the mode change key 6 or the touch operation unit 5. When the pressing of the mode change key 6 is released (YES in S13), that is, when a release signal is supplied from the mode change key 6, the mode determination unit 21 releases the continuous SR mode (S22). Specifically, the mode determination unit 21 determines the mode of the mobile terminal 1 as the normal mode, and outputs information indicating the normal mode to the changed PM determination unit 22. Then, the changed PM determining unit 22 instructs the display changing unit 23 to stop scrolling. The display changing unit 23 receives the instruction and stops generating the display screen. As a result, the display control unit 24 does not display a new display screen, and scrolling is stopped. In addition, the display control unit 24 does not display an image indicating that the current mode is the continuous SR mode. When the mode determination unit 21 specifies that the user's finger is not separated from the touch operation unit 5 with the mode change key 6 being pressed (NO in S13), that is, the mode determination unit 21 When acquiring the TE every predetermined time, the mode determination unit 21 determines whether or not the movement of the touch position is detected (S15). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the position indicated by the position information included in the acquired plurality of TEs is moving. When the movement of the touch position is detected (YES in S15), the mode determination unit 21 outputs the coordinates of the movement start position and the coordinates of the movement end position to the changed PM determination unit 22. Subsequently, the changed PM determining unit 22 specifies the moving direction and the moving amount ΔY of the touch position (S16). Subsequently, the changed PM determination unit 22 calculates the scroll movement speed based on the movement amount ΔY (S17). The changed PM determining unit 22 determines the scroll direction from the moving direction of the touch position. Subsequently, the changed PM determination unit 22 updates the changed PM 32 (S18). Then, the changed PM determining unit 22 instructs the display changing unit 23 to execute scrolling. Upon receiving an instruction from the changed PM determining unit 22, the display changing unit 23 checks whether the changed PM 32 is an initial value (S19). If it is the initial value (YES in S19), the continuous SR process returns to step S13. On the other hand, if it is not the initial value (NO in S19), the display changing unit 23 executes scrolling based on the changed PM 32 (S20, display changing step). Specifically, the display change unit 23 generates a display screen when scrolling is executed with the scroll direction and speed acquired by reading the change PM 32, and outputs the generated display screen data to the display control unit 24. . The display control unit 24 causes the display unit 4 to display the data received from the display change unit 23. Thereby, the display content 31 is scrolled. Then, the continuous SR process returns to step S13.

  Here, it is assumed that the user once performs a drag operation in a state where the mode change key 6 is pressed, and then releases the finger from the touch operation unit 5 while pressing the mode change key 6. When mode change key 6 is pressed (NO in S13) and mode determining unit 21 specifies that the user's finger is away from the touch operation unit (YES in S14), that is, TE is acquired. If the TE is not acquired again after a predetermined time, the mode determination unit 21 waits for TE (S21). Here, when TE is acquired (YES in S21), the mobile terminal 1 executes the processes of steps S15 to S20 described above. In step S15, when the mode determination unit 21 detects the movement of the touch position (YES in S15), that is, when the touch operation unit 5 receives a new drag operation, scrolling of the speed and direction based on the drag operation is performed. Will be executed. On the other hand, when the TE is not acquired (NO in S21), the mobile terminal 1 executes the process of step S19 described above. That is, unless the display changing unit 23 receives a new scroll execution instruction from the changed PM determining unit 22, the display changing unit 23 repeatedly executes display screen generation based on the same scroll direction and speed as the previous time. In other words, the mobile terminal 1 continuously executes scrolling based on the same scroll direction and speed as the previous time until receiving a new scroll execution instruction.

Then, the speed of the drag operation is specified by dividing the Y-axis direction component (ΔY) of the movement distance of the drag operation specified by the method described in the first embodiment by the elapsed time. Then, the changed PM determination unit 22 determines the scroll speed by multiplying the specified drag operation speed by a predetermined coefficient β. The changed PM determining unit 22 may determine the specified drag operation speed as the scroll speed. Note that since the drag operation and the direction of scrolling have been described in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted here.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 8, the flow of continuous SR processing executed by the mobile terminal 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of continuous SR processing executed by the mobile terminal 1. Note that the flow of processing until the continuous SR processing is executed has already been described in the first embodiment with reference to FIG. 6, and thus description thereof is omitted here. 8 are the same as steps S11 to S15 and S18 to S22 of FIG. 7, respectively, and thus the description thereof is omitted here. When the movement of the touch position is detected (YES in S35), the mode determination unit 21 outputs the coordinates of the movement start position and the coordinates of the movement end position to the changed PM determination unit 22 together with the associated time information. To do. Subsequently, the changed PM determining unit 22 specifies the moving direction and moving speed T of the touch position (S36). Subsequently, the changed PM determination unit 22 calculates the scroll movement speed based on the movement speed T (S37).

  As described above, according to the mobile terminal 1 according to the first and second embodiments, the user can easily determine the speed of continuous scrolling based on the movement amount and speed of the drag operation. In addition, if it is set as the structure which determines the speed of continuous scroll with the speed of drag operation, the user can determine the speed of continuous scroll with intuitive operation. In addition, the user can easily change the speed of continuous scrolling by performing a new drag operation during execution of continuous scrolling. Furthermore, since execution and stop of continuous scrolling can be switched depending on whether the mode change key 6 is pressed or not, the user can control continuous scrolling with one hand.

  Next, a modification of the first or second embodiment will be described. The mobile terminal 1 according to the first and second embodiments may determine the scroll direction and speed using the X coordinates of the coordinates indicated by the drag operation start position information and end position information. This example is suitable when the display content 31 is content that can be scrolled in the X-axis direction of the XY plane shown in FIG. Further, the mobile terminal 1 according to the first and second embodiments may determine the scroll direction and speed using both the X coordinate and the Y coordinate of the coordinates indicated by the start position information and the end position information of the drag operation. The display content 31 may be scrolled in a direction that matches the direction of the drag operation. For example, when the drag operation in the diagonal direction from the lower left to the upper right of the touch operation unit 5 illustrated in FIG. 4 or the like is performed, the changed PM determination unit 22 may specify the scroll direction as the upper right direction of the display unit 4. . Note that the above two modifications can also be applied to Embodiment 3 described later if the process to be executed is changed from “scroll” to “jump”. Further, when the display content 31 is a content including a plurality of pages such as an electronic book, the mobile terminal 1 determines the moving direction and moving speed of the page (in other words, the turning direction and the turning speed of the page). There may be. The mobile terminal 1 may determine at least one of the scroll direction and the speed.

[Embodiment 3]
The following will describe still another embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIGS. 9 is a screen transition diagram when the mobile terminal 1 continuous jump processing is executed, and FIG. 10 is a screen transition diagram when the mobile terminal 1 executes the continuous jump processing, which is different from FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a continuous jump process executed by the mobile terminal 1.

  The display content 31 according to the present embodiment is an electronic book composed of a plurality of pages, and the electronic book has a configuration in which the page advances as it proceeds downward in FIG. Note that the display content 31 according to the present embodiment is not limited to this example, and may be an electronic book having a configuration in which a page advances in the horizontal direction of FIG. 9, or other than an electronic book such as a Web page. It may be the content. That is, the display content 31 according to the present embodiment is not limited to content including a plurality of pages.

  The mobile terminal 1 according to the present embodiment determines the movement direction and movement amount in the display content 31 according to the direction and movement distance of the drag operation. Then, the portable terminal 1 switches the region of the display content 31 displayed on the display unit 4 from the region currently displayed on the display unit 4 to the region moved by the movement amount in the movement direction (so-called jump). Continue to execute. Specifically, the changed PM determination unit 22 according to the present embodiment determines the jump direction from the direction of the drag operation specified by the method described in the first embodiment. More specifically, when the direction of the drag operation is upward, the jump direction is determined as the direction in which the page of the electronic book advances. On the other hand, when the direction of the drag operation is downward, the jump direction is determined as the direction in which the page of the electronic book returns. Further, the changed PM determination unit 22 according to the present embodiment determines the jump movement amount from the specified ΔY. For example, in the case of ΔY as shown in FIG. 9A, the jump movement amount is determined to be one page at a time. In this case, as shown in FIG. 9A to FIG. 9D, the pages are switched from 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 →. On the other hand, in the case of ΔY as shown in FIG. 10A, the jump movement amount is determined to be 3 pages. In this case, as shown in FIG. 10A to FIG. 10D, the pages are switched from 1 → 4 → 7 → 10 →. Then, the changed PM determination unit 22 according to the present embodiment updates the changed PM 32 using the determined jump direction and movement amount. That is, the change PM 32 according to the present embodiment is information indicating the jump direction and the movement amount. Then, the changed PM determining unit 22 according to the present embodiment instructs the display changing unit 23 to execute a jump. Note that the above-described correspondence between ΔY and the amount of page movement is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this example. Further, the changed PM determination unit 22 according to the present embodiment may determine the jump movement amount from the speed of the drag operation, as in the second embodiment. When receiving the instruction from the changed PM determining unit 22, the display changing unit 23 according to the present embodiment continuously executes the jump of the display content 31. Specifically, when receiving an instruction from the changed PM determining unit 22, the display changing unit 23 reads the changed PM 32 and acquires information on the jump direction and the movement amount. Then, a display screen when the jump is executed with the direction and movement amount of the jump is generated, and the generated display screen data is output to the display control unit 24. Thereafter, the display changing unit 23 repeats the generation of the display screen based on the changed PM 32 and the output of the generated display screen data to the display control unit 24 until receiving an instruction from the new changed PM determining unit 22. Continue to execute. The mobile terminal 1 may determine at least one of the jump direction and the movement amount. Further, the mobile terminal 1 may determine the jump movement amount according to the movement speed of the drag operation.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 11, the flow of the continuous jump process executed by the mobile terminal 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. The process flow until the continuous jump process is executed is the same as the process described with reference to FIG. 6 except that step S4 is replaced with the continuous jump process, and the description thereof is omitted here. Also, in FIG. 11, the description of the same processing as in FIG. 7 and the same processing as in FIG. 7 is omitted except that “scroll” is replaced with “jump”. Specifically, description of steps S51 to S55 and S58 to S62 in FIG. 11 is omitted. When the movement of the touch position is detected (YES in S55), the mode determination unit 21 outputs the coordinates of the movement start position and the coordinates of the movement end position to the changed PM determination unit 22. Subsequently, the changed PM determination unit 22 specifies the movement direction and the movement amount ΔY of the touch position (S56). Subsequently, the changed PM determination unit 22 calculates the jump movement amount based on the movement amount ΔY (S57).

  In the present embodiment, the content of a plurality of pages is configured to determine the jump movement amount based on the page number according to the drag operation movement amount ΔY. However, jumps are not limited to those based on page numbers. For example, in a state where there are a plurality of contents such as images and Web pages, the jump movement amount based on the number of contents (number of cases) may be determined according to the movement amount ΔY. As a specific example, when the movement amount ΔY is small, it is displayed by jumping one or two items, whereas when the movement amount ΔY is large, it is displayed by jumping 50 items or 100 items. .

  Further, the jump movement amount may be determined based on information accompanying the content. The information is, for example, date information or name information. In the case of date information, to give a specific example, when the movement amount ΔY is small, the content at the beginning of the day after jumping is displayed by jumping every other day, whereas when the movement amount ΔY is large , Jump by month or year, and display the first content of the month or year after the jump. In the case of name information, for example, when the movement amount ΔY is small, the information is displayed in order from the top content arranged in the order of 50 sounds. That is, the contents whose names start with “A” are displayed in order, and when all contents starting with “A” are displayed, the contents starting with “I” are displayed in order. On the other hand, when the movement amount ΔY is large, the content that is the head when arranged in the order of 50 sounds among the contents starting from the first character of each line of 50 sounds is displayed. In other words, after the content that starts with “a” in the name, the first content is displayed when arranged in the order of 50 tones, and after the content that starts with “ka”, the content starts with the order of 50 sounds. Display content. The above-described jump movement amount is an example, and is not limited to these examples.

  Next, a modification common to the embodiments will be described. In Embodiments 1 to 3 described above, the drag operation is a drag operation that draws a straight locus, but the drag operation may not be a straight line. For example, the direction and speed of scrolling or jumping (the amount of movement in the case of jumping) may be determined in accordance with a drag operation for drawing a circle. In this case, the changed PM determining unit 22 determines the direction of scrolling or jumping depending on whether the drag operation is clockwise or counterclockwise. The scrolling speed and jump movement amount are determined according to the size of the circle to be drawn and the drawing speed.

  In the first to third embodiments described above, the operation for executing the scroll or jump is described as the drag operation. However, the operation for executing the scroll or jump is in contact with or close to the touch operation unit 5. Any operation (movement operation) for moving the pointing indicator on the touch operation unit 5 may be used, and the present invention is not limited to the drag operation.
