Mobile terminal, display control method, and program

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a plurality of display devices comprising display screens and frame parts surrounding the display screens and arranged such that the frame parts come in contact with each other; and

an image control section which switchably executes:

(i) a normal display mode in which one display image is divided into a first plurality of display images according to respective sizes of the display screens of the plurality of display devices, the first plurality of display images acquired by division are transferred to the plurality of display devices, respectively, and the one display image is displayed on the display screens of the plurality of display devices, and

(ii) a complementary display mode in which the one display image is divided into a second plurality of display images according to the respective sizes of the display screens of the plurality of display devices with an image corresponding to a non-display portion formed by skipping the frame parts, the second plurality of display images acquired by division are transferred to the plurality of display devices, respectively, and the one display image is displayed on the display screens of the plurality of display devices;

wherein, when a slide instruction operation in a direction perpendicular to the frame parts is performed during the complementary display mode, the image control section:

shifts a position of the one display image in the direction of the slide instruction operation, by a predetermined distance, into a shifted position and

divides the one display image in the shifted position into a third plurality of display images, divided at shifted division positions, and transfers the third plurality of display images to the display screens of the plurality of display devices.

2. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the shifted division positions are shifted by the image control section at least by a size of an image corresponding to the non-display portion formed by the contacted frame parts, when the slide instruction operation is performed.

3. A display control method for displaying one display image on a display screen comprising a plurality of display devices comprising display screens and frame parts surrounding the display screens and arranged such that the frame parts come in contact with each other, the method comprising:

a normal display mode step of dividing the one display image into a first plurality of display images according to respective sizes of the display screens of the plurality of display devices, transferring the first plurality of display images acquired by division to the plurality of display devices, respectively, and displaying the one display image on the display screens of the plurality of display devices;

a complementary display mode step of dividing the one display image into a second plurality of display images according to the respective sizes of the display screens of the plurality of display devices with an image corresponding to a non-display portion formed by skipping the frame parts, and transferring the second plurality of display images acquired by division to the plurality of display devices, respectively, and displaying the one display image on the display screens of the plurality of display devices;

a step of selectively switching between the normal display mode step and the complementary display mode step; and

when a slide instruction operation in a direction perpendicular to the frame parts is performed during the complementary display mode:

shifting a position of the one display image in the direction of the slide instruction operation, by a predetermined distance, and

dividing the one display image in the shifted position into a third plurality of display images, divided at shifted division positions, and transferring the third plurality of display images to the display screens of the plurality of display devices.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a program stored thereon that is executable by a processor in a mobile terminal which displays one display image on a display screen comprising a plurality of display devices comprising display screens and frame parts surrounding the display screens and arranged such that the frame parts come in contact with each other, the program being executable to cause the mobile terminal to actualize functions comprising:

a normal display mode function of dividing the one display image into a first plurality of display images according to respective sizes of the display screens of the plurality of display devices, transferring the first plurality of display images acquired by division to the plurality of display devices, respectively, and displaying the one display image on the display screens of the plurality of display devices;

a complementary display mode function of dividing the one display image into a second plurality of display images according to the respective sizes of the display screens of the plurality of display devices with an image corresponding to a non-display portion formed by skipping the frame parts, transferring the second plurality of display images acquired by division to the plurality of display devices, respectively, and displaying the one display image on the display screens of the plurality of display devices;

a function of selectively switching between the normal display mode function and the complementary display mode function; and

a slide instruction operation function of, when a slide instruction operation in a direction perpendicular to the frame parts is performed during the complementary display mode:

shifting a position of the one display image in the direction of the slide instruction operation, by a predetermined distance, and

dividing the one display image in the shifted position into a third plurality of display images, divided at shifted division positions, and transferring the third plurality of display images to the display screens of the plurality of display devices.
