Vehicle-mounted apparatus, information providing method for use with vehicle-mounted apparatus, and recording medium recorded information providing method program for use with vehicle-mounted apparatus therein
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a display;
a touch sensor disposed on, under or formed integrally with the display and configured to detect gestures in a plane of the touch sensor; and
circuitry configured toswitch from (1) displaying, on the display, a first screen of a first application as a parent screen and displaying a second screen of a second application as a child screen, to (2) displaying, on the display, the first screen as the child screen and displaying the second screen of the second application as the parent screen, in response to receiving a substantially straight line gesture input in the plane of the touch sensor, the substantially straight line gesture either (i) starting from inside the second screen of the second application displayed as the child screen and moving into the first screen of the first application displayed as the parent screen, or (ii) starting from inside the first screen displayed as the parent screen and moving into the second screen of the second application displayed as the child screen.

Abstract
A vehicle-mounted apparatus is disclosed which includes a displaying unit for providing information to a user, an inputting unit for inputting operations carried out by the user, and a controlling unit for controlling a display of the displaying unit based on the operations input through the inputting unit. The inputting unit has at least a touch-sensitive panel attached to a display screen of the displaying unit. The controlling unit causes the displaying unit to display a menu screen based on the operations input through the inputting unit. The controlling unit also causes the displaying unit to switch the displays based on menus selected on the menu screen. Furthermore, the controlling unit causes the displaying unit to switch, as when a specific menu is selected on the menu screen, the displays in response to a fingertip gesture made by the user for detection on the touch-sensitive panel.
