Abstract

A content display device includes: a display unit for displaying a content in a displayable area; a position detecting unit for detecting a touch position; a determination unit for determining whether or not the detected touch position is on the displayed content; and, a content movement control unit that, when the determination unit has determined that the detected touch position is on the displayed content while part of the content resides outside the displayable area of the display unit, performs a control so as to move and display the content in such a manner that an entire content is displayed within the displayable area.

Claims (30)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a display for displaying content;

a processor; and

a memory that stores a program that causes the processor to control the display apparatus, wherein

in a case where a part of the content is outside a displayable area of the display and a position of a touch operation detected in the displayable area is on the content, the processor moves and displays the content so that an entire of the content is displayed on an end in the displayable area where the touch operation is detected, and

the processor determines a movement amount of the content displayed on the displayable area based on the difference between the coordinates of the displayable area and the coordinates of the area of the content, moves the entire of the content by the movement amount, and displays the entire of the content in proximity to the end in the displayable area of the display.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the touch operation is at least one of a tap, double-tap, multipoint-touch, long pressed, or flick operation.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

when the touch operation is a normal touch operation, the processor operates the content, and

when the touch operation is the multi-point touch operation, the processor moves and displays the entire of the content.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

when the touch operation is a single-tap operation, the processor operates the content, and

when the touch operation is the double-tap operation, the processor moves and displays the entire of the content.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

The processor determines whether the content is outside the displayable area of the display by comparing the coordinates of the displayable area with the coordinates of the area of the content.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein

The processor determines whether or not any of the coordinates indicating a display area of the content is outside the displayable area of the display.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the movement amount is an amount of the difference between the coordinates of the displayable area and the coordinates of the area of the content or an amount obtained by adding a margin value to the difference between the coordinates of the displayable area and the coordinates of the area of the content.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor moves and displays the content so that an entire of the content is displayed on an end in the displayable area while the displaying size of the content is maintained.

9. A display method of a display apparatus, the display method comprising:

displaying content on a display,

in a case where a part of the content is outside a displayable area of the display and a position of a touch operation detected in the displayable area is on the content, moving and displays the content so that an entire of the content is displayed on an end in the displayable area where the touch operation is detected, and

determining a movement amount of the content displayed on the displayable area based on the difference between the coordinates of the displayable area and the coordinates of the area of the content, moving the entire of the content by the movement amount, and displaying the entire of the content in proximity to the end in the displayable area of the display.

10. A non-transitory recording medium storing a program that causes a computer mounted on a display apparatus to execute a process comprising:

displaying content on a display,

in a case where a part of the content is outside a displayable area of the display and a position of a touch operation detected in the displayable area is on the content, moving and displays the content so that an entire of the content is displayed on an end in the displayable area where the touch operation is detected, and

determining a movement amount of the content displayed on the displayable area based on the difference between the coordinates of the displayable area and the coordinates of the area of the content, moving the entire of the content by the movement amount, and displaying the entire of the content in proximity to the end in the displayable area of the display.
