USER INTERFACE APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTENT OPERATION METHOD, AND CONTROL PROGRAM

摘要

The present invention intends to improve the operability when a user performs a drag & drop operation to shift an icon from the present page to another page. A user interface apparatus detects whether an end portion of an icon has been brought into contact with a display frame of the page, irrespective of the position of a finger or a pen that operates the icon. If the contact state continues for a predetermined time, the user interface apparatus causes the page to transit. Therefore, smoothly and intuitively shifting the icon to the next page is feasible.
