Abstract

According to an aspect, a device includes a touch screen display and a controller. The touch screen display displays a lock screen including a first icon and a second icon. The controller displays a sub icon associated with the second icon on the lock screen when a gesture in which the first icon and the second icon are superimposed is detected.

Claims (47)

1. A device, comprising:

a touch screen display configured to display a lock screen, the lock screen at least including a first icon not associated with any applications and a plurality of second icons each associated with an application; and

a controller,

wherein,

while displaying the first icon and the plurality of second icons on the lock screen and without displaying a sub icon on the lock screen,

in response to a detection of a gesture in which the first icon and one of the plurality of second icons are superimposed,

the controller is configured to simultaneously display the first icon and a sub icon corresponding to the superimposed second icon, the sub icon corresponding to a process executable in the application associated with the superimposed second icon,

when the first icon, the plurality of second icons, and the sub icon are simultaneously displayed on the lock screen,

the first icon is moveable to be superimposed on the plurality of second icons and the sub icon,

the controller is configured to execute the process associated with the sub icon, in response to a gesture in which the first icon and the sub icon are superimposed, and

the controller is configured to execute an application among the applications and associated with a second icon among the plurality of second icons, in response to a gesture in which the first icon and the second icon are superimposed.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein

the touch screen display is configured to display the lock screen including a first area in which the first icon is arranged and a second area,

the first and second areas are separated by a closed shape boundary,

the first area is surrounded by the closed shape boundary,

the closed shape boundary is surrounded by the second area, and

each of the plurality of second icons is arranged on the closed shape boundary and extends into both the first and second areas.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first icon is a key icon configured to unlock a locked state in which the lock screen is displayed.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the sub icon includes a plurality of sub icons, each of the sub icons corresponds to a process executable in the application associated with the superimposed second icon.

5. A method of controlling a device having a touch screen display, the method comprising:

displaying a lock screen on the touch screen display, the lock screen at least including a first icon not associated with any applications and a plurality of second icons each associated with an application;

while displaying the first icon and the plurality of second icons on the lock screen and without displaying a sub icon on the lock screen, in response to a detection of a gesture in which the first icon and one of the plurality of second icons are superimposed,

simultaneously displaying the first icon and a sub icon corresponding to the superimposed second icon, the sub icon corresponding to a process executable in the application associated with the superimposed second icon, wherein the first icon is moveable to be superimposed on the sub icon and the plurality of second icons; and

when the first icon, the plurality of second icons, and the sub icon are simultaneously displayed on the lock screen,

executing the process associated with the sub icon, in response to a gesture in which the first icon and the sub icon are superimposed, and

executing an application among the applications and associated with a second icon among the plurality of second icons, in response to a gesture in which the first icon and the second icon are superimposed.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising

displaying the lock screen including a first area in which the first icon is arranged and a second area,

wherein

the first and second areas are separated by a closed shape boundary,

the first area is surrounded by the closed shape boundary,

the closed shape boundary is surrounded by the second area, and

each of the plurality of second icons is arranged on the closed shape boundary and extends into both the first and second areas.

7. A non-transitory storage medium storing therein a program for causing, when executed by a device having a touch screen display, the device to execute:

displaying a lock screen on the touch screen display, the lock screen at least including a first icon not associated with any applications and a plurality of second icons each associated with an application;

while displaying the first icon and the plurality of second icons on the lock screen and without displaying a sub icon on the lock screen, in response to a detection of a gesture in which the first icon and one of the plurality of second icons are superimposed,

simultaneously displaying the first icon and a sub icon corresponding to the superimposed second icon but not displaying the superimposed second icon that is superimposed by the first icon, the sub icon corresponding to a process executable in the application associated with the superimposed second icon, wherein the first icon is moveable to be superimposed on the sub icon and remaining second icons other than the superimposed second icon; and

when the first icon, the remaining second icons, and the sub icon are simultaneously displayed on the lock screen,

executing the process associated with the sub icon, in response to a gesture in which the first icon and the sub icon are superimposed, and

executing an application among the applications and associated with a second icon among the remaining second icons, in response to a gesture in which the first icon and the second icon among the remaining second icons are superimposed.

8. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 7 storing therein the program for causing, when executed by the device having the touch screen display, the device to further execute:

displaying the lock screen including a first area in which the first icon is arranged and a second area,

wherein

the first and second areas are separated by a closed shape boundary,

the first area is surrounded by the closed shape boundary,

the closed shape boundary is surrounded by the second area, and

each of the plurality of second icons is arranged on the closed shape boundary and extends into both the first and second areas.
