Abstract

There is provided a display device includes: a memory; and a processor coupled with the memory and the processor configured to: detect a tilt of the display device; detect a touch position touched on a touch panel of the display device; and point a position different from the touch position detected, based on the tilt detected, the touch position detected, and a first distance from a reference position on the touch panel to the touch position detected.

Claims (38)

1 . A display device comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled with the memory and the processor configured to:

detect a tilt of the display device;

detect a touch position touched on a touch panel of the display device; and

point a position different from the touch position detected, based on the tilt detected, the touch position detected, and a first distance from a reference position on the touch panel to the touch position detected.

2 . The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

set a first position touched first among a plurality of continuously-touched positions on the touch panel, as the reference position;

calculate a second distance from the reference position to a last position touched lastly among the plurality of continuously-touched positions; and

point a position different from the last position on the touch panel, based on the tilt detected, the last position, and the second distance.

3 . The display device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

point a position located on an extended line obtained by extending, to the touch position, a straight line on which the reference position and the touch position are connected with, based on the tilt, the touch position, and the second distance.

4 . The display device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

calculate a third distance by multiplying the second distance by a coefficient corresponding to the tilt; and

point a position away from the reference position by the third distance.

5 . The display device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

calculate a fourth distance by adding a fifth distance corresponding to the tilt to the second distance; and

point a position away from the reference position by the fourth distance.

6 . The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to display an icon at the position different from the touch position, the icon indicating that the position is pointed as a position to be touched on the touch panel.

7 . The display device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to perform, in response to acceptance of a predetermined operation after the pointing of the position different from the touch position, a process corresponding to the different position and the predetermined operation.

8 . The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to shift to a mode in which the processor points the position different from the touch position on the touch panel, in response to pressing down of the touch panel at a predetermined pressure or more.

9 . The display device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to shift to a mode where the processor points the touch position on the touch panel, in response to acceptance of a predetermined operation after shifting to the mode in which the processor points the position different from the touch position on the touch panel.

10 . A display control method for a display device, the display method comprising:

detecting a tilt of the display device;

detecting a touch position touched on a touch panel of the display device; and

pointing a position different from the touch position detected, based on the tilt detected, the touch position detected, and a distance from a reference position on the touch panel to the touch position detected, as a position to be touched on the touch panel, by a processor.

11 . A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a procedure for a display device, the procedure comprising:

detecting a tilt of the display device;

detecting a touch position touched on a touch panel of the display device; and

pointing a position different from the touch position detected, based on the tilt detected, the touch position detected, and a distance from a reference position on the touch panel to the touch position detected, as a position to be touched on the touch panel.
