Abstract

A display control apparatus includes a controller. The controller controls a bendable display to display a first screen if the display is deformed in a state where a specific application program is in a first state. The controller controls the display to display a second screen, which is different from the first screen, if the display is deformed in a state where the specific application program is in a second state, which is different from the first state.

Claims (42)

1 . A display control apparatus comprising:

a controller that controls a bendable display to display a first screen if the display is deformed in a state where a specific application program is in a first state and controls the display to display a second screen, which is different from the first screen, if the display is deformed in a state where the specific application program is in a second state, which is different from the first state.

2 . The display control apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first state is a state where a predetermined basic screen is displayed, and

wherein the second state is a state where a specific operation screen that is transitioned from the basic screen is displayed.

3 . The display control apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the basic screen is a home screen of the specific application program, the home screen being displayed in response to an instruction for executing the specific application program.

4 . The display control apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the basic screen is a home screen of the display control apparatus including an icon of the specific application program.

5 . The display control apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first screen includes the basic screen and another screen that is related to the basic screen, and

wherein the second screen includes the specific operation screen and another screen that is related to the specific operation screen.

6 . The display control apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first state is a state where the specific application program displays a first operation screen in response to a first user operation, and

wherein the second state is a state where the specific application program displays a second operation screen in response to a second user operation.

7 . The display control apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the first screen includes the first operation screen and another screen that is related to the first operation screen, and

wherein the second screen includes the second operation screen and another screen that is related to the second operation screen.

8 . The display control apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the other screen that is related to the first operation screen and the other screen that is related to the second operation screen are any of a screen related to a function of the specific application program and a screen of an application program that is different from the specific application program.

9 . The display control apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first state is a state where the specific application program displays a first operation screen in response to a first user operation, and

wherein the first screen includes a changed screen and another screen that is related to the changed screen, the changed screen being obtained by changing an operation status of the first operation screen.

10 . The display control apparatus according to claim 9 ,

wherein the second state is a state where the specific application program displays a second operation screen in response to a second user operation, and

wherein the second screen includes a changed screen and another screen that is related to the changed screen, the changed screen being obtained by changing an operation status of the second operation screen.

11 . The display control apparatus according to claim 9 ,

wherein the first operation screen includes a first screen region and a second screen region, the first screen region corresponding to the specific application program, the second screen region corresponding to an application program that is different from the specific application program,

wherein the changed screen displays information of the first screen region, and

wherein the other screen that is related to the changed screen displays information of the second screen region.

12 . The display control apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the information of the first screen region is a video, and

wherein the information of the second screen region is a character string.

13 . The display control apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the information of the first screen region is a video, and

wherein the information of the second screen region is an image with sound.

14 . The display control apparatus according to claim 13 ,

wherein the changed screen displays the video and muted sound of the video in the form of a subtitle, and

wherein the other screen that is related to the changed screen displays the image with sound.

15 . A display apparatus comprising:

the display control apparatus according to claim 1 ; and

a bendable display that displays a display content that is controlled by the display control apparatus.

16 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for display control, the process comprising:

controlling a bendable display to display a first screen if the display is deformed in a state where a specific application program is in a first state; and

controlling the display to display a second screen, which is different from the first screen, if the display is deformed in a state where the specific application program is in a second state, which is different from the first state.
