8. The information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the control unit displays operation guidance showing an explanation regarding an operation of the object on the touch panel.
9. A table comprising:
a main body with the information processing device according to claim 1 built therein; and
a top panel where a display surface of the touch panel of the information processing device is disposed at an upper side thereof.
10. A display control method for controlling display of a content item on a display device, in an information processing device which has a touch panel and can communicate with a portable terminal, comprising:
obtaining content data including an operable object;
outputting a content image which displays the object for receipt by the display device;
executing a first operation of the object displayed in the content image if the first user input is detected by the touch panel; and
executing a second operation of the object displayed in the content image if the second user input is received from the portable terminal,
wherein the information processing device, the portable terminal, and the display device are separate from each other and configured such that each of the information processing device and the portable terminal enable a user to provide an input or inputs thereto to control an operation or operations of the object displayed on the same display device.
11. The display control method according to claim 10 , wherein the second user input is a user input corresponding to a change in an orientation of the portable terminal, and the second operation is a change in an orientation of the object in the content image.
12. The display control method according to claim 11 , wherein the first user input is a drag by a user on the touch panel, and the first operation is a size change, a movement, or a viewpoint change of the object in the content image.
13. A program enabling a computer which controls an information processing device which has a touch panel and can communicate with a portable terminal, to function as:
a data obtaining unit that obtains content data including an operable object;
a display output unit that outputs a content image which displays the object for receipt by a display device; and
a control unit that controls an operation of the object displayed in the content image on the display device,
wherein the control unit executes a first operation of the object displayed in the content image if the first user input is detected by the touch panel, and executes a second operation of the object displayed in the content image if the second user input is received from the portable terminal, and
wherein the information processing device, the portable terminal, and the display device are separate from each other and configured such that each of the information processing device and the portable terminal enable a user to provide an input or inputs thereto to control an operation or operations of the object displayed on the same display device.
14. A portable terminal for use with an information processing device and a display device, said portable terminal comprising:
a communication unit that communicates with the information processing device having a touch panel which detects a first user input;
a sensor that detects a second user input;
a data obtaining unit that obtains content data including an operable object;
a display output unit that outputs a content image which displays the object for receipt by the display device; and
a control unit that controls an operation of the object displayed in the content image on the display device,
wherein the control unit executes a first operation of the object if the first user input is received from the information processing device by the communication unit, and executes a second operation of the object if the second user input is detected by the sensor, and
wherein the information processing device, the portable terminal, and the display device are separate from each other and configured such that each of the information processing device and the portable terminal enable a user to provide an input or inputs thereto to control an operation or operations of the object displayed on the same display device.
