Abstract

An information processing system includes circuitry that causes a first scrolling of a displayed content region within its boundaries in response to a first user operation. The circuitry of the information processing system also causes a second scrolling of the displayed content region beyond its boundaries in response to a second user operation.

Claims (18)

1. An information processing system, comprising:

circuitry configured to

cause, in response to a first user operation, scrolling to scroll content within a displayed content region in a first display control mode, the content region being displayed on a touchscreen display and displaying the content region, a menu region displayed above the content region, and a status region displayed above the menu region;

cause, in response to a second user operation different from the first user operation, the displayed content region, the menu region and the status region to move together downward away from a top edge of the screen in a second display control mode, wherein the second user operation is a touch operation with respect to a display region under the status region, wherein the first and second user operations are received by the touchscreen display, and

in response to a third user operation that is executed with respect to the status region having been moved downward in the second display control mode together with the displayed content region, display a notification, wherein the first user operation includes fewer gestures than the second user operation.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein a gesture for the first user operation is for a drag operation, and gestures for the second user operation are for multi-tap operations.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein an operation item in the content region remains active after movement of the content region.

4. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the touchscreen display displays a graphical user interface.

5. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein user operations after the second user operation control a magnitude of movement of the status region.

6. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to cause the movement of the status region to reveal an area beyond the status region.

7. An information processing method, comprising:

causing, with circuitry, in response to a first user operation, scrolling to scroll content within a displayed content region in a first display control mode, the content region being displayed on a touchscreen display and displaying the content region, a menu region displayed above the content region, and a status region displayed above the menu region;

causing, with the circuitry, in response to a second user operation different from the first user operation, the displayed content region, the menu region and the status region to move together downward away from a top edge of the screen in a second display control mode, wherein the second user operation is a touch operation with respect to a display region under the status region, wherein the first and second user operations are received by the touchscreen display, and

in response to a third user operation that is executed with respect to the status region having been moved downward in the second display control mode together with the displayed content region, display a notification, wherein the first user operation includes fewer gestures than the second user operation, wherein the first user operation includes fewer gestures than the second user operation.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer-readable instructions thereon that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:

causing, with circuitry, in response to a first user operation, scrolling to scroll content within a displayed content region in a first display control mode, the content region being displayed on a touchscreen display and displaying the content region, a menu region displayed above the content region, and a status region displayed above the menu region;

causing, with the circuitry, in response to a second user operation different from the first user operation, the displayed content region, the menu region and the status region to move together downward away from a top edge of the screen in a second display control mode, wherein the second user operation is a touch operation with respect to a display region under the status region, wherein the first and second user operations are received by the touchscreen display, and

in response to a third user operation that is executed with respect to the status region having been moved downward in the second display control mode together with the displayed content region, display a notification, wherein the first user operation includes fewer gestures than the second user operation, wherein the first user operation includes fewer gestures than the second user operation.
