Mobile terminal device having function of flipping multiple screens by operations of multiple touches and display control method thereof
View Patent ↗Provided is a mobile terminal device that includes a plurality of touch displays and a control unit. The control unit associatively controls screens displayed on the plurality of touch displays based on the number of simultaneous operations and operation directions. The number of simultaneous operations is the number of touch operations simultaneously carried out and accompanied by the movement of touch positions, and the operation directions are directions in which the touch positions of the touch operations have moved.
1. A mobile terminal device, comprising:
a plurality of touch displays; and
a control unit that associatively controls screens displayed on the plurality of touch displays based on a number of simultaneous operations and operation directions, the number of simultaneous operations being a number of touch operations simultaneously carried out and accompanied by a movement of touch positions, and the operation directions being directions in which the touch positions of the touch operations have moved,
wherein the control unit holds screen data that includes a series of screens that are displayed in a predetermined order,
wherein, when operation directions of a plurality of touch operations that are simultaneously carried out in a display state in which a part of the series of screens is displayed on the plurality of touch displays, are identical, based on the order of the screen data, the control unit moves the screens to be displayed on the plurality of touch displays by a number of screens equal to the number of simultaneous operations in the operation directions, and
wherein the control unit is configured to move the screens to be displayed on the plurality of touch displays when the number of screens and the number of simultaneous operations is three or more.
2. The mobile terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit associatively controls the screens of the plurality of touch displays based on at least one of a correlation among the number of simultaneous operations, the touch displays on which the plurality of touch operations have simultaneously been carried out, and the operation directions.
3. The mobile terminal device according to claim 2 , wherein, when the number of simultaneous operations is two, when two touch operations are carried out on different touch displays, and when the two operation directions are opposite to each other, the control unit switches screens of the two touch-operated touch displays.
4. The mobile terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein, when the number of simultaneous operations is two, when two touch operations are carried out on different touch displays, and when the two operation directions are opposite to each other, the control unit switches screens of the two touch-operated touch displays.
5. The mobile terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the number of screens and the number of simultaneous operations is three or more.
6. The mobile terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit moves the screens to be displayed on the plurality of touch displays by the number of screens equal to the number of simultaneous operations in the operation directions.
7. A display control method of a mobile terminal device, said method comprising:
measuring, when touch operations are carried out and are accompanied by a movement of touch positions, a number of simultaneously carried out touch operations and operation directions in which the touch positions of the touch operations have moved; and
associatively controlling screens displayed on a plurality of touch displays based on the number of simultaneous operations and the operation directions,
wherein the associatively controlling includes:
holding screen data that includes a series of screens that are displayed in a predetermined order;
when operation directions of a plurality of touch operations that are simultaneously carried out in a display state in which a part of the series of screens is displayed on the plurality of touch displays, are identical, based on the order of the screen data, moving the screens to be displayed on the plurality of touch displays by a number of screens equal to the number of simultaneous operations in the operation directions; and
moving the screens to be displayed on the plurality of touch displays when the number of screens and the number of simultaneous operations is three or more.
8. The display control method of the mobile terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein the associatively controlling includes associatively controlling the screens of the plurality of touch displays based on a correlation among the number of simultaneous operations, the touch displays on which the plurality of touch operations have simultaneously been carried out, and the operation directions.
9. The display control method of the mobile terminal device according to claim 8 , wherein the associatively controlling further includes switching screens of two touch-operated touch displays, when the number of simultaneous operations is two, two touch operations are carried out on different touch displays, and the two operation directions are not on a same straight line but are opposite to each other.
10. The display control method of the mobile ten final device according to claim 7 , wherein the associatively controlling includes switching screens of two touch-operated touch displays, when the number of simultaneous operations is two, two touch operations are carried out on different touch displays, and the two operation directions are not on a same straight line but are opposite to each other.
11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium with a display control program used in a computer of a mobile terminal device that includes a plurality of touch displays, said program being for causing the computer to execute:
acquiring, when touch operations are carried out and accompanied by a movement of touch positions, information about a number of simultaneously carried out touch operations and information about operation directions in which the touch positions of the touch operations have moved; and
associatively controlling screens displayed on the plurality of touch displays based on the information about the number of simultaneous operations and the information about the operation directions,
wherein the associatively controlling includes:
holding screen data that includes a series of screens that are displayed in a predetermined order;
when operation directions of a plurality of touch operations that are simultaneously carried out in a display state in which a part of the series of screens is displayed on the plurality of touch displays, are identical, based on the order of the screen data, moving the screens to be displayed on the plurality of touch displays by a number of screens equal to the number of simultaneous operations in the operation directions; and
moving the screens to be displayed on the plurality of touch displays when the number of screens and the number of simultaneous operations is three or more.
