Display device, display controlling method, and computer program
A display device, method, computer-readable storage medium and user interface, each of which detects contact to or proximity of an object with respect to a generated image, and responsive to detection of contact to or proximity of the object to the generated image, disables any operational functions associated with a first portion of the generated image. Additionally, operation associated with a second portion of the generated image is allowed responsive to the detection of contact to or proximity of the object to the generated image, where the second portion of the generated image is different from the first portion of the generated image. An indication corresponding to the second portion of the generated image for which operation is enabled may be displayed on the generated image.
1 . A method, comprising:
detecting, using circuitry, a first contact on a first operational portion of a first image generated on a touch screen;
in response to the first contact being detected on the first operational portion, displaying, using the circuitry, on the touch screen a text and a second image at the first operational portion of the first image;
detecting, using the circuitry, a second contact on a second operational portion of the first image generated on the touch screen;
in response to the second operation being detected on the second operational portion, setting, using the circuitry, a state of a camera, the state corresponding to a movement amount of the camera;
displaying, using the circuitry, a captured image on the touch screen, the captured image being captured by the camera with the state of the camera being set; and
deleting, using the circuitry, the text and the second image from the first operational portion of the first image in response to detecting, using the circuitry, the first contact being removed from the touch screen at the first operational portion.
2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the first contact is a contact on the touch screen by a user's first finger, and
the second contact is another contact on the touch screen by the user's second finger.
3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the first image is comprised of a plurality of graphics.
4 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
allowing, using the circuitry, an operation associated with the first operational portion of the first image while the first operational portion of the first image is contacted.
5 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
allowing, using the circuitry, an operation associated with the second operational portion of the first image while the second operational portion of the first image is contacted.
6 . The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
controlling, using the circuitry, an orientation of the camera based on the operation associated with the second operational portion of the first image.
7 . The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
controlling, using the circuitry, a zoom state of the camera based on the operation associated with the second operational portion of the first image.
8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the touch screen is a screen of a hand-held portable device or an information appliance.
9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the camera and the hand-held portable device or the information appliance are physically separated devices.
10 . An apparatus, comprising:
a touch screen; and
circuitry configured to
detect a first contact on a first operational portion of a first image generated on the touch screen,
in response to the first contact being detected on the first operational portion, display on the touch screen a text and a second image at the first operational portion of the first image,
detect a second contact on a second operational portion of the first image generated on the touch screen,
in response to the second operation being detected on the second operational portion, set a state of a camera, the state corresponding to a movement amount of the camera,
display a captured image on the touch screen, the captured image being captured by the camera with the state of the camera being set, and
delete the text and the second image from the first operational portion of the first image in response to detecting the first contact being removed from the touch screen at the first operational portion.
11 . The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein
the circuitry is configured to allow an operation associated with the second operational portion of the first image while the second operational portion of the first image is contacted.
12 . The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein
the circuitry is configured to control an orientation of the camera based on the operation associated with the second operational portion of the first image.
13 . The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein
the circuitry is configured to control a zoom state of the camera based on the operation associated with the second operational portion of the first image.
14 . The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein
the camera and the apparatus are physically separated devices.
15 . A non-transitory computer readable medium including executable instructions, which when executed by a computer cause the computer to:
detect a first contact on a first operational portion of a first image generated on a touch screen;
in response to the first contact being detected on the first operational portion, display on the touch screen a text and a second image at the first operational portion of the first image;
detect a second contact on a second operational portion of the first image generated on the touch screen;
in response to the second operation being detected on the second operational portion, set a state of a camera, the state corresponding to a movement amount of the camera;
display a captured image on the touch screen, the captured image being captured by the camera with the state of the camera being set; and
delete the text and the second image from the first operational portion of the first image in response to detecting the first contact being removed from the touch screen at the first operational portion.
16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein the executable instructions when executed by the computer cause the computer to:
allow an operation associated with the second operational portion of the first image while the second operational portion of the first image is contacted.
17 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 16 , wherein the executable instructions when executed by the computer cause the computer to:
control an orientation of the camera based on the operation associated with the second operational portion of the first image.
18 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 16 , wherein the executable instructions when executed by the computer cause the computer to:
control a zoom state of the camera based on the operation associated with the second operational portion of the first image.
19 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein
the touch screen is a screen of a hand-held portable device or an information appliance, and
the camera and the hand-held portable device or the information appliance are physically separated devices.
