Terminal apparatus, display control method and recording medium
View Patent ↗First, when operation input by a user is detected, an operation signal in accordance with contents of the operation is output. Next, a determination is made of whether the operation by the user is a short press operation or a long press operation on the basis of time in which the operation signal is output. Next, if determined that the user has performed the short press operation, a preview screen indicating contents of a predetermined event associated with the long press operation in advance is displayed on a screen of a display section as a preview.
1. A terminal apparatus comprising:
an input interface configured to receive an input of an operation performed by a user with an operation object; and
circuitry configured to
determine a location of the operation being detected on the input interface,
determine whether the operation by the user is a first press operation or a second press operation,
display a preview screen on a display device indicating contents of a predetermined event associated with the second press operation, during the first press operation, and
progressively increase a size of the preview screen as a function of time when the operation object is detected to remain at a substantially same location,
wherein the predetermined event on the display device is displayed at a location that includes the determined location of the operation when the operation changes from the first press operation to the second press operation without a leaving of the operation object.
2. The terminal apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the size of the preview screen becomes a full screen size when the circuitry determines that the operation is the second press operation.
3. The terminal apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the circuitry is configured to progressively change a transmission factor of the preview screen as a function of time.
4. The terminal apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the transmission factor of the preview screen becomes 0% when the processing circuitry determines that the operation is the second press operation.
5. The terminal apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the circuitry is configured to progressively change a transmission factor of the preview screen as a function of time.
6. The terminal apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the transmission factor of the preview screen becomes 0% when the processing circuitry determines that the operation is the second press operation.
7. The terminal apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the input interface is a touch panel.
8. A method performed using a terminal apparatus having circuitry and an input interface configured to receive an input of an operation performed by a user with an operation object, the method comprising:
receiving, using the input interface, the input of the operation;
determining, using the circuitry, a location of the operation being detected on the input interface;
determining, using the circuitry, whether the operation by the user is a first press operation or a second press operation;
displaying, using the circuitry, a preview screen on a display device indicating contents of a predetermined event associated with the second press operation, during the first press operation; and
progressively increasing, using the circuitry, a size of the preview screen as a function of time when the operation object is detected to remain at a substantially same location,
wherein the predetermined event on the display device is displayed at a location that includes the determined location of the operation when the operation changes from the first press operation to the second press operation without a leaving of the operation object.
9. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing device, control the computing device to
receive an input of an operation performed by a user on an input interface with an operation object;
determine a location of the operation being detected on the input interface;
determine whether the operation by the user is a first press operation or a second press operation;
display a preview screen on a display device indicating contents of a predetermined event associated with the second press operation, during the first press operation; and
progressively increase a size of the preview screen as a function of time when the operation object is detected to remain at a substantially same location,
wherein the predetermined event on the display device is displayed at a location that includes the determined location of the operation when the operation changes from the first press operation to the second press operation without a leaving of the operation object.
