Mobile electronic apparatus, display method for use in mobile electronic apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable recording medium
First Claim
1. A mobile electronic apparatus comprising:
- a display including a display area having a first edge and a second edge, the display being configured to display a display screen on the display area;
an input unit including a detector configured to detect an operation performed on the display area; and
at least one processor configured toplace a movable mode change element adjacent to the first edge or the second edge of the display area,scale down the display screen in response to detection of a first operation performed on the mode change element, anddisplay the scaled down display screen in a first sub-region of the display area, wherein the first sub-region is adjacent to the first edge when the movable mode change element is adjacent to the first edge when the first operation is detected and is adjacent to the second edge when the movable mode change element is adjacent to the second edge when the first operation is detected, wherein the movable mode change element is not scaled down but changes appearance thereof when the display screen is scaled down, and wherein the at least one processor displays, when accepting an operation performed on a corner of the scaled-down screen, a symbol near the corner such that at least a part of the symbol is located outside the scaled-down screen.

Abstract
A mobile electronic apparatus comprises a display including a display area having a first edge and a second edge, an input unit including a detector, and at least one processor. The display displays a display screen on the display area. The detector detects an operation performed on the display area. The at least one processor places a mode change element adjacent to the first edge or the second edge of the display area, scales down the display screen in response to detection of a first operation performed on the mode change element, and displays the display screen, which is scaled down, as a scaled-down screen on a part of the display area. The at least one processor determines, in response to a user'"'"'s input to the input unit, which one of the first edge and the second edge is to be adjacent to the mode change element.

18. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium configured to store a control program for controlling a mobile electronic apparatus, the control program causing the mobile electronic apparatus to execute the steps of:
-
placing a movable mode change element adjacent to a first edge or a second edge of a display area included in a display, scaling down a display screen displayed by the display in response to detection of a first operation performed on the mode change element, and displaying the scaled down display screen in a first sub-region of the display area, wherein the first sub-region is adjacent to the first edge when the movable mode change element is adjacent to the first edge when the first operation is detected and adjacent to the second edge when the movable mode change element is adjacent to the second edge when the first operation is detected, wherein the movable mode change element is not scaled down but changes appearance thereof when the display screen is scaled down, and wherein when accepting an operation performed on a corner of the scaled down display screen, a symbol is displayed near the corner such that at least a part of the symbol is located outside the scaled-down screen.

19. A mobile electronic apparatus comprising:
-
a display including a display area having a first edge and a second edge, the display being configured to display a display screen on the display area; an input unit including a detector configured to detect an operation performed on the display area; and at least one processor configured to place a movable mode change element adjacent to the first edge or the second edge of the display area, scale down the display screen in response to detection of a first operation performed on the movable mode change element, display the scale down display screen in a first sub-region of the display area, and change a position of the scale down display screen on the display area in response to detection of a second operation performed on the scale down display screen, wherein the first sub-region is adjacent to the first edge when the movable mode change element is adjacent to the first edge when the first operation is detected and the first sub-region is adjacent to the changed position when the first operation is detected after the second operation is detected and wherein the movable mode change element is not scaled down but changes appearance thereof when the display screen is scaled down, wherein the at least one processor displays, when accepting an operation performed on a corner of the scaled-down screen, a symbol near the corner such that at least a part of the symbol is located outside the scaled-down screen.
