Abstract

This display device includes: an operation detector that detects an operation; a display that displays a screen including a first area capable of being scroll-displayed, and a second area; and a display controller that performs a control that displays, in the first area, display elements including a specific display element. The display controller scroll-displays the display elements displayed in the first area when the operation detector detects a scroll operation, and accommodatively displays the specific display element in the second area if, as a result of the scroll-display, the specific display element is scrolled in the direction of the second area and displayed.

Claims (41)

1. A display device comprising:

a processor;

wherein the processor controls

an operation detector that detects an operation;

a display that displays a screen including a first area capable of being scroll-displayed, and a second area which does not overlap with the first area; and

a display controller that performs a control that displays, in the first area, display elements including a specific display element which is included as a part of the first area, wherein

the display controller, in a state where both the first area and the second area are displayed at the same time,

scroll-displays the display elements displayed in the first area when the operation detector detects a scroll operation, and

accommodatively displays an image of a part corresponding to the specific display element over the display content which has been displayed in the second area before scroll-displaying and does not display an image of a part corresponding to the display elements other than the specific display element in the second area if, as a result of the scroll-display, the specific display element is scrolled in the direction of the second area and displayed,

a size of the first area and a size of the second area remains the same before and after the scroll operation, and

the specific display element is a confirmation button for confirming settings.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller performs a control that displays one of a specific display element and an accommodatively displayed image of the part corresponding to specific display element.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller performs a control that changes a size of an accommodatively displayed image of the part corresponding to specific display element displayed in the second area according to a size of a specific display element displayed in the first area.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein when the operation detector detects an operation that selects the accommodatively displayed image of the part corresponding to specific display element, the display controller displays the specific display element in the first area.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein when the accommodatively displayed image of the part corresponding to specific display element is displayed in the second area and a scroll operation is performed in a reverse direction to the second area, the display controller displays the specific display element in the first area.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein when the accommodatively displayed image of the part corresponding to specific display element is displayed in the second area and the operation detector detects an operation that selects a display element other than the specific display element, the display controller displays the specific display element in the first area.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the specific display element is a display element that accepts an instruction to execute predetermined processing, and

when the operation detector detects an operation that selects a display element other than the specific display element and the specific display element is displayed in the first area, the display controller displays the specific display element as a display element capable of accepting execution of processing different from the predetermined processing.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second area is a smaller area than the first area.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller maintains a size of the second area even when the display controller scroll-displays the display elements displayed in the first area.

10. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the specific display element is an icon of a confirmation button for accepting an instruction of selection by user.

11. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller always displays the image of a part of the specific display element in the second area in a case that the specific display element is not displayed in the first area even when the display elements in the first area are scroll-displayed.

12. A display method comprising:

detecting an operation;

displaying a screen including a first area capable of being scroll-displayed, and a second area which does not overlap with the first area; and

performing a control that displays, in a part of the first area, display elements including a specific display element, wherein

performing the control includes, in a state where both the first area and the second area are displayed at the same time,

scroll-displaying the display elements displayed in the first area when a scroll operation is detected, and

accommodatively displaying an image of a part of the specific display element over the display content which has been displayed in the second area before scroll-displaying and does not display an image of a part of the display elements other than the specific display element in the second area if, as a result of the scroll-display, the specific display element is scrolled in the direction of the second area and displayed, wherein

a size of the first area and a size of the second area remains the same before and after the scroll operation, and

the specific display element is a confirmation button for confirming settings.

13. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a program that causes a computer to implement:

an operation detection function that detects an operation;

a display function that displays a screen including a first area capable of being scroll-displayed, and a second area which does not overlap with the first area; and

a display control function that performs a control that displays, in a part of the first area, display elements including a specific display element, wherein

the display control function, in a state where both the first area and the second area are displayed at the same time,

scroll-displays the display elements displayed in the first area when the operation detection function detects a scroll operation, and

accommodatively displays an image of a part of the specific display element over the display content which has been displayed in the second area before scroll-displaying and does not display an image of a part of the display elements other than the specific display element in the second area if, as a result of the scroll-display, the specific display element is scrolled in the direction of the second area and displayed, wherein

a size of the first area and a size of the second area remains the same before and after the scroll operation, and

the specific display element is a confirmation button for confirming settings.
