Abstract

A portable terminal device includes a display section, a display control section, an operation detection section, and an execution processing section. The display section detects an operation position and displays various objects. The display control function arranges the various objects on the screen of the display section and outputs information of an operation performed on a predetermined region. The operation detection section detects the operation performed on the predetermined region. The execution processing section executes predetermined processing according to the result of detection by the operation detection section. Accordingly, privacy of information containing a password can be enhanced.

Claims (33)

1. A portable terminal device, comprising:

a display section that detects an operation position and displays various objects;

a display control section that arranges the various objects on a screen of the display section and outputs information of an operation performed on a predetermined region;

an operation detection section that detects the operation performed on the predetermined region;

an execution processing section that executes predetermined processing based on a result of detection by the operation detection section;

an audio output device that outputs audio; and

a guidance section that guides an operation performed on the predetermined region as audio from the audio output device,

wherein the guidance section outputs a confirmation message that confirms whether the information associated with the predetermined region is allowed to be displayed on the display section as audio from the audio output device, and

wherein, after the guidance section has output the confirmation message as audio, the execution processing section displays the information associated with the predetermined region on the display section when an operation performed on the predetermined region is detected by the operation detection section.

2. The portable terminal device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the execution processing section outputs information associated with the predetermined region as audio from the audio output device.

3. The portable terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein, in the case where a predetermined period of time T 1 has elapsed with the information being displayed on the display section, the execution processing section deletes the information displayed on the display section.

4. The portable terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the audio output device is detachable from the portable terminal device, and,

wherein, in the case where the audio output device becomes in a disconnected state with the information being displayed on the display section, the execution processing section deletes the information displayed on the display section.

5. The portable terminal device according to claim 4 , wherein, in the case where, after the audio output device becomes in the disconnected state, the audio output device becomes in a connected state again within a predetermined period of time T 2 , the execution processing section redisplays the information on the display section.

6. An information presentation method comprising:

detecting an operation position and displaying various objects on a display section;

arranging the various objects on a screen of the display section and outputting information of an operation performed on a predetermined region;

detecting the operation performed on the predetermined region;

executing predetermined processing based on a result of the detection of the operation performed on the predetermined region;

outputting audio from an audio output device; and

guiding an operation performed on the predetermined region as audio from the audio output device,

wherein a confirmation message that confirms whether the information associated with the predetermined region is allowed to be displayed on the display section is outputted as audio from the audio output device, and

wherein, after the confirmation message as audio has been outputted, the information associated with the predetermined region is displayed on the display section when an operation performed on the predetermined region is detected.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a program stored thereon that is executable by a computer of a portable terminal device to actualize functions comprising:

a display function that detects an operation position and displays various objects on a display section;

a display control function that arranges the various objects on a screen of the display section and outputs information of an operation performed on a predetermined region;

an operation detection function that detects the operation performed on the predetermined region;

an execution processing function that executes predetermined processing based on a result of detection by the operation detection function;

an audio output function that outputs audio from an audio output device; and

a guidance function that guides an operation performed on the predetermined region as audio from the audio output device,

wherein the guidance function outputs a confirmation message that confirms whether the information associated with the predetermined region is allowed to be displayed on the display section as audio from the audio output device, and

wherein, after the guidance function has output the confirmation message as audio, the execution processing function displays the information associated with the predetermined region on the display section when an operation performed on the predetermined region is detected by the operation detection function.
