Terminal device, information display method, and program for said information display method
View Patent ↗A terminal device detects the inclination of the terminal device per se in a predetermined direction, and, based on the detected inclination, changes the display format of an element object on a display screen or enlarges/regenerates an element object on a display screen.
1. A terminal device comprising:
element object detection means for detecting element objects contained in input display information;
display format determination means for determining the display format of the element objects based on the type of the element objects detected by the element object detection means;
display position registration means for registering the display position of the element objects, detected by the element object detection means, on a screen;
element object display means for displaying the element objects on the screen based on the display format determination means and the display position registration means;
inclination detection means for detecting the inclination of the terminal device;
element object enlargement/regeneration means for enlarging/regenerating the displayed element object based on the predetermined inclination detected by the inclination detection means; and
display returning means for returning the display to a size before enlargement/regeneration, when the inclination detection means detects an inclination of the terminal device in another direction.
2. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein, upon the detection of inclination in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction, the display returning means returns the enlarged/regenerated element object to the display before the enlargement/regeneration.
3. An information display method comprising the steps of:
detecting element objects contained in input display information (element object detection step);
determining the display format of the element objects based on the type of the element objects detected by the element object detection step (display format determination step);
registering the display position of the element objects, detected by the element object detection step, on a screen (display position registration step);
displaying the element objects on the screen based on the display format determination step and the display position registration step (element object display step);
detecting the inclination of a terminal device (inclination detection step);
enlarging/regenerating the displayed element object based on the predetermined inclination detected by the inclination detection step; and
display returning step for returning the display to a size before enlargement/regeneration, when the inclination detection step has detected an inclination of the terminal device in another direction.
4. The information display method according to claim 3 , wherein, upon the detection of inclination of the terminal device in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction, the display returning step returns the enlarged/regenerated element object to the display before the enlargement/regeneration.
