Abstract

A display control device includes an operation-display unit and a controller. The operation-display unit hierarchically displays multiple functions using multiple screens and accepts an operation performed through an approach or touch of an object. The controller performs control so that, when the object approaches a function displayed on an original screen, a next screen associated with the function selected as a result of the approach of the object is temporarily displayed using a display mode corresponding to a relationship between the original screen and the next screen.

Claims (11)

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for hierarchically displaying a plurality of buttons using a plurality of screens on a display, the process comprising:

displaying an original screen including a button;

detecting a change in electrostatic capacitance using a detector;

temporarily displaying a next screen associated with the button when the detector detects that an object selects the button and the change in electrostatic capacitance is greater than or equal to a predetermined lower limit and smaller than or equal to a predetermined upper limit; and

transitioning the original screen to a next screen associated with the temporarily displayed next screen when the detector detects that the object selects the temporarily displayed next screen and the change in electrostatic capacitance is larger than the predetermined upper limit.

2. An information processing apparatus for hierarchically displaying a plurality of buttons using a plurality of screens, the apparatus comprising:

a display that displays an original screen including a button;

a detector that detects a change in electrostatic capacitance; and

a processor programmed to:

instruct the display to temporarily display a next screen associated with the button when the detector detects that an object selects the button and the change in electrostatic capacitance is greater than or equal to a predetermined lower limit and smaller than or equal to a predetermined upper limit; and

instruct the display to transition the original screen to a next screen associated with the temporarily displayed next screen when the detector detects that the object selects the temporarily displayed next screen and the change in electrostatic capacitance is larger than the predetermined upper limit.
