Abstract

A display device displays a display object on a display part, controls a display on the display part, detects an indicator contacts the display part, and determines an input operation to the display part based on a detection result in the detecting. The display includes a first region being a detectable region and a second region being a part of the first region and a movable region where the display object moves according to the input operation. When a tap operation is detected, the display object is moved to coordinates of the tap operation being in the second region, and the display object is not moved toward coordinates of the tap operation being outside the second region. When a drag operation is detected, the display object is moved within the second region in accordance with a coordinate change due to the drag operation in the first region.

Claims (62)

1. An imaging device, comprising;

a display device, comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory, and configured to perform a process including

displaying a display object on a display part,

controlling a display on the display part,

detecting a proximity or a contact of an indicator with the display part, and

determining an input operation to the display part based on a detection result in the detecting,

wherein the display includes

a first region that is a detectable region in the detecting,

a second region that is a part of the first region and is a movable region where the display object moves in accordance with the input operation including a tap operation or a drag operation, said tap operation being detected by detecting that a coordinate of the tap operation does not change by more than a predetermined value, and

wherein in a case in which the determining determines the tap operation on the display part,

the controlling moves the display object to coordinates of the tap operation upon detecting the coordinates that are in the second region, and does not move the display object toward coordinates of the tap operation upon detecting the coordinates that are outside the second region, and

in a case in which the determining determines the drag operation on the display part,

the controlling moves the display object within the second region in accordance with a coordinate change due to the drag operation within the second region and does not move the display object upon detecting that a coordinate at which the drag operation starts is outside the second region, wherein

the first region corresponds to an imaging range,

the second region corresponds to a range capable for focusing, and

the display object corresponds to a focusing area frame.

2. The imaging device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the controlling includes

enabling a display of the second region in response to the input operation that is conducted outside the second region,

disabling the display of the second region in response to the input operation that is conducted inside the second region, and

disabling the display of the second region during the input operation not being conducted.

3. The imaging device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the controlling further includes

enabling the display of the second region in response to the drag operation that is conducted inside the second region, and

disabling the display of the second region in response to the tap operation that is conducted inside the second region.

4. The imaging device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the process further includes inputting a movement instruction of the display object,

wherein the controlling displays the second region in response to the movement instruction that is input with respect to the display object.

5. The imaging device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the controlling further includes, in response to the movement instruction with respect to the display object,

enabling the display of the second region in a case of a position that is in contact with a boundary of the second region, the position to move the display object; and

disabling the display of the second region in response to the movement instruction in a case of the case of position that is not in contact with the boundary.

6. The imaging device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the controlling further includes

disabling the display of the second region in response to the movement instruction in a case of the display object that is able to be moved in accordance with the movement instruction.

7. An object moving method by a display device of an imaging device, comprising:

displaying a display object on a display part,

controlling a display on the display part,

detecting a proximity or a contact of an indicator with the display part, and

determining an input operation to the display part based on a detection result in the detecting,

wherein the display includes

a first region that is a detectable region in the detecting,

a second region that is a part of the first region and is a movable region where the display object moves in accordance with the input operation including a tap operation or a drag operation, said tap operation being detected by detecting that a coordinate of the tap operation does not change by more than a predetermined value, and

wherein in a case in which the determining determines the tap operation on the display part,

the controlling moves the display object to coordinates of the tap operation upon detecting the coordinates that are in the second region, and does not move the display object toward coordinates of the tap operation upon detecting the coordinates that are outside the second region, and

in a case in which the determining determines the drag operation on the display part,

the controlling moves the display object within the second region in accordance with a coordinate change due to the drag operation within the second region and does not move the display object upon detecting that a coordinate at which the drag operation starts is outside the second region, wherein

the first region corresponds to an imaging range,

the second region corresponds to a range capable for focusing, and

the display object corresponds to a focusing area frame.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program which causes a display device of an imaging device to perform a process comprising:

displaying a display object on a display part,

controlling a display on the display part,

detecting a proximity or a contact of an indicator with the display part, and

determining an input operation to the display part based on a detection result in the detecting,

wherein the display includes

a first region that is a detectable region in the detecting,

a second region that is a part of the first region and is a movable region where the display object moves in accordance with the input operation including a tap operation or a drag operation, said tap operation being detected by detecting that a coordinate of the tap operation does not change by more than a predetermined value, and

wherein in a case in which the determining determines the tap operation on the display part,

the controlling moves the display object to coordinates of the tap operation upon detecting the coordinates that are in the second region, and does not move the display object toward coordinates of the tap operation upon detecting the coordinates that are outside the second region, and

in a case in which the determining determines the drag operation on the display part,

the controlling moves the display object within the second region in accordance with a coordinate change due to the drag operation within the second region and does not move the display object upon detecting that a coordinate at which the drag operation starts is outside the second region, wherein

the first region corresponds to an imaging range,

the second region corresponds to a range capable for focusing, and

the display object corresponds to a focusing area frame.
