Information processing device, information processing method, and information processing program

摘要

Provided are an information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing program, which simply switch to a display method which a user desires. When an information processing device (100) in which two touch panels (40, 50) are rotatably connected by a hinge (30) is in a two-screen state, the current screen mode is switched to another screen mode by carrying out a re-fold operation which, via a prescribed angle within a prescribed time, returns the information processing device (100) to an original state.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus that includes a first housing having a first screen and a second housing having a second screen and that is allowed to switch between a first screen state where the rear surfaces of the first screen and the second screen are put together while facing each other and that performs displaying by a single screen mode capable of displaying one application on one of the first screen and the second screen and a second screen state where the first screen and the second screen are spread and that performs displaying by a full-screen mode capable of displaying one application on the entirely of the first screen and the second screen or a two-application mode capable of displaying different applications on the respectively of the first screen and the second screen by changing arrangement of the first housing and the second housing, the first housing and the second housing being rotatably connected to each other, the information processing apparatus comprising:
a sensor that detects an angle formed by the first screen and the second screen; a shape determining section that determines a shape of the information processing apparatus based on the detected angle and determines whether or not a fold-and-return operation is performed, the fold-and-return operation being an operation in which a first angle formed by the first screen and the second screen in the second screen state is changed to a predetermined second angle and then returned to the first angle within a predetermined time; a mode control section that switches a display method of the full-screen mode or the two-application mode to another display method when the fold-and-return operation is performed; a display section that performs a display operation in the first screen and the second screen using the display method resulting from the switching performed by the mode control section; a storage section that stores a combination of a plurality of applications which are simultaneously used, and frequency of use of the combination, as history information; and a list generating section that generates, when a first application is started on the first screen, list information on a second application having a high simultaneous use-frequency with respect to the first application, based on the history information, wherein the display section displays the generated list information on the second screen.
