Terminal device and control program thereof

摘要

In a terminal device 10, two rectangular casings 11A, 11B are connected by a hinge section 12, and touch screens TD1, TD2 of the same shape and size (rectangular) are arranged on substantially the entire inner surface thereof, respectively. When a slide operation performed on at least one of the touch screens TD1, TD2 is detected with the two vertically long casings 11A, 11B being horizontally aligned (horizontally opened state), a control section 1 identifies the touch screen on which the slide operation has been performed as an operation screen and performs display control corresponding to the slide operation on the touch screens TD1, TD2 including the operation screen and a touch screen related thereto (such as an adjacent screen). For example, it sequentially performs page turning on display information on the touch screens TD1, TD2, as display control corresponding to the slide operation.

主权项

1. A terminal device having a plurality of screens, comprising:
a slide operation detection means for detecting a slide operation performed on each of the plurality of screens, the slide operation being a user gesture comprising a sliding motion moving from one position to other position on at least a single one of the screens, the slide operation including i) a single finger sliding motion operation along a first direction with a first slide length, the single finger sliding motion being designated as a single touch operation, and ii) a two-finger simultaneously sliding motion operation along the first direction with the first slide length, the two-finger simultaneously sliding motion being designated as a multi-touch operation; an identification means for, when the slide operation is detected by the slide operation detection means, identifying a screen on which the slide operation has been detected, the identified screen being designated as an operation screen, wherein the identification means further identifies i) when the slide operation is the single touch operation, and ii) when the slide operation is the multi-touch operation; and a display control means for performing display control, corresponding to the identified slide operation, on the plurality of screens including i) on the operation screen identified by the identification means, and ii) on a screen related to the operation screen, the display control comprising a manipulation of displayed content or data, wherein i) the display control is performed only one time when the identified slide operation is the single touch operation, and ii) the display control is automatically performed repeatedly and continuously at predetermined time intervals when the identified slide operation is the multi-touch operation, wherein, i) the single finger sliding motion operation comprises a plurality of operations along the first direction with different respective first slide lengths, in a first of the plural operations the first direction is horizontally oriented over one or more of the screens and in a second of the plural operations the first direction is vertically oriented over one or more of the screens, ii) a two-finger simultaneously sliding motion operation comprises a plurality of corresponding two-finger simultaneously sliding operations along the first direction with different respective first slide lengths, in a first of the plural operations the first direction is horizontally oriented over one or more of the screens and in a second of the plural operations the first direction is vertically oriented over one or more of the screens, the identification means further identifies i) when the slide operation is the single touch operation limited to one screen, ii) when the slide operation is the single touch operation over plural screens, iii) when the slide operation is the multi-touch operation limited to one screen, and iv) when the slide operation is the multi-touch operation over plural screens; and the display control means performs different respective display controls, corresponding to the identified slide operation including: i) first display controls when the slide operation is the single touch operation limited to one screen and when the slide operation is the corresponding multi-touch operation limited to one screen, the first display controls being performed only one time when the identified slide operation is the single touch operation, and the first display controls being automatically performed repeatedly and continuously at predetermined time intervals when the identified slide operation is the corresponding multi-touch operation, and ii) second display controls when the slide operation is the single touch operation over plural screens and when the slide operation is the corresponding multi-touch operation over plural screens, the second display controls being performed only one time when the identified slide operation is the single touch operation, and the second display controls being automatically performed repeatedly and continuously at predetermined time intervals when the identified slide operation is the corresponding multi-touch operation.
