Abstract

An image created based on content is displayed on a display screen. A selected image is selected from the image. A move operation is detected on the selected image. It is determined whether or not the selected image has been moved to a predetermined specified area on the display screen. The display form of the selected image is changed when the selected image has been moved to the specified area. Content corresponding to the selected image is transmitted to a transmission destination associated with the specified area.

Claims

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a display that displays an image on a display screen, the image being created based on content;

selection circuitry that selects a selected image from the image;

detection circuitry that detects a move operation on the selected image;

determination circuitry that determines whether or not the selected image has been moved to a predetermined specified area on the display screen;

changing circuitry that changes a display form of the selected image when the selected image has been moved to the specified area; and

transmission circuitry that transmits content to a transmission destination, the content corresponding to the selected image whose display form has been changed, the transmission destination being associated with the specified area, wherein

when the display displays a transmission icon, and the selected image has been moved to a position near the specified area, the changing circuitry changes a display form of the transmission icon, and

the transmission circuitry transmits the content to the transmission destination when the display form of the transmission icon is changed.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the changing circuitry changes the display form by reducing the selected image in size, the reduction in size being performed in such a manner that the selected image is accommodated in the specified area.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the changing circuitry changes the display form by rotating the selected image or by making the selected image transparent.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 2, wherein, when the selected image has been moved to a position near the specified area, the changing circuitry reduces the selected image in size, and, when the selection of the selected image has been released, the changing circuitry reduces the selected image in size in such a manner that the selected image is accommodated in the specified area.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the selection circuitry selects a plurality of the images as an image set,

the detection circuitry detects a move operation on the image set, and

when the image set has been moved to the specified area, the changing circuitry sequentially changes the display form of each selected image included in the image set.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display circuitry displays the transmission icon in the specified area.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

stop-instruction receiving circuitry that receives an instruction from a user when the changing circuitry is changing the display form of the selected image, the instruction indicating that the transmission process be stopped.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

displaying an image on a display screen, the image being created based on content;

selecting a selected image from the image;

detecting a move operation on the selected image;

determining whether or not the selected image has been moved to a predetermined specified area on the display screen;

changing a display form of the selected image when the selected image has been moved to the specified area;

transmitting content to a transmission destination, the content corresponding to the selected image whose display form has been changed, the transmission destination being associated with the specified area;

changing a display form of a transmission icon displayed on the display screen when the selected image has been moved to a position near the specified area; and

transmitting the content to the transmission destination when the display form of the transmission icon is changed.
