Display method, display device, and program

1. A display method adapted to a display device comprising an input display part and a processor configured to execute instructions, said display method comprising:

detecting a stain at a stained position on the input display part;

displaying a predetermined indication having an arbitrary shape to include the stained position on the input display part; and

aborting a process indicated by an input operation erroneously occurring due to the stain at the stained position on the input display part.

2. The display method according to claim 1 , further comprising detecting the input operation on the input display part,

to validate the input operation at an unstained position other than the stained position on the input display part.

3. The display method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

stopping the predetermined indication displayed at the stained position on the input display part upon detecting a wiping operation to wipe off the stain at the stained position; and

displaying the predetermined indication at the stained position again upon repeatedly detecting the stain at the stained position irrespective of the wiping operation applied to the stained position.

4. The display method according to claim 3 , wherein the predetermined indication is changed in terms of at least one of brightness and color.

5. The display method according to claim 2 , further comprising determining whether or not to carry out the input operation applied to one of the stained position and the unstained position on the input display part,

wherein the predetermined indication is displayed at the stained position upon determining that the input operation is not carried out at the stained position.

6. The display method according to claim 1 , wherein the stain is detected upon detecting an absence of a user's operation on the input display part.

7. The display method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

stopping the predetermined indication displayed at the stained position on the input display part upon detecting a wiping operation to wipe off the stain at the stained position; and

displaying the predetermined indication at the stained position again upon repeatedly detecting the stain at the stained position irrespective of the wiping operation applied to the stained position.

8. The display method according to claim 1 , wherein the stain is detected at a predetermined timing when a predetermined operation is carried out.

9. The display method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting a wiping operation to wipe out the stained position on the input display part; and

changing the predetermined indication in terms of at least one of brightness and color.

10. A display device, comprising:

a detector configured to detect a stain at a stained position on an input display part; and

a processor configured to execute instructions to:

display a predetermined indication having an arbitrary shape to include the stained position on the input display part; and

abort a process indicated by an input operation erroneously occurring due to the stain at the stained position on the input display part.

11. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein the processor validates the input operation detected on the input display part at an unstained position other than the stained position.

12. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein the processor executes the instructions to further:

stop the predetermined indication displayed at the stained position on the input display part upon detecting a wiping operation to wipe off the stain at the stained position; and

display the predetermined indication at the stained position again upon repeatedly detecting the stain at the stained position irrespective of the wiping operation applied to the stained position.

13. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein, when the detector detects an operation to wipe out the stained position, the processor stops displaying the predetermined indication.

14. The display device according to claim 13 , wherein, after a non-display mode of the predetermined indication upon detecting the operation to wipe out the stained position, the processor validates an operation at the marked position again when no response is made by the detector.

15. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein the stain is detected upon detecting an absence of a user's operation on the input display part.

16. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein the detector is further configured to detect a wiping operation to wipe out the stained position on the input display part, and

wherein the processor changes the predetermined indication in terms of at least one of brightness and color.

17. A processor adapted to a display device including an input display part and a processor executing instructions to:

display a predetermined indication having an arbitrary shape to include a stained position corresponding to a stain detected on the input display part; and

abort a process indicated by an input operation erroneously occurring due to the stain at the stained position on the input display part.

18. The processor according to claim 17 , wherein the processor executes the instructions to validate an input operation on the input display part upon detecting the input operation at an unstained position other than the stained position.

19. The processor according to claim 18 , wherein the processor executes the instructions to further:

stop the predetermined indication displayed on the input display part upon detecting a wiping operation to wipe off the stain at the stained position; and

display the predetermined indication at the stained position again upon repeatedly detecting the stain at the stained position irrespective of the wiping operation applied to the stained position.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a program causing a processor to implement the display method according to claim 1 .
