SCROLLING APPARATUS, SCROLLING METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM

摘要

A scrolling apparatus includes a screen, a contact detector which detects contact of a finger to the screen, a proximity detector which detects proximity of a finger to the screen, and a scrolling controller. If a first proximity of the finger is detected when an inertial scrolling of content is started, the scrolling controller transitions from the inertial scrolling to a constant scroll speed. When the detection of the first proximity of the finger continues, the scrolling at constant scroll speed continues even after the first proximity of the finger is not detected. When the scrolling at constant speed is performed after the first proximity of the finger is not detected, if a second proximity of the finger is detected, the scrolling controller stops the scrolling at constant speed, and then if the second proximity of the finger is not detected, the scrolling controller restarts the scrolling at constant speed.

主权项

1. A scrolling apparatus comprising:
a display which displays a content on a screen; a contact detector which detects contact of a finger to the screen; a proximity detector which detects proximity of a finger to the screen; a scrolling controller which, if a first proximity of the finger is detected by the proximity detector at or after a start of an inertial scrolling of the content, starts transition from the inertial scrolling to a scrolling of which a scroll speed becomes a constant speed, and then when the detection of the first proximity of the finger by the proximity detector has continued for a given time, continues the scrolling of the constant speed even after the first proximity of the finger is not detected by the proximity detector; and a display controller which displays the scrolled content on the display, wherein when the scrolling of the constant speed is performed after the first proximity of the finger is not detected by the proximity detector, if a second proximity of the finger is detected by the proximity detector, the scrolling controller stops the scrolling of the constant speed, and then if the second proximity of the finger is not detected by the proximity detector, the scrolling controller restarts the scrolling of the constant speed.
