Display device, display program storage medium and display method
First Claim
1. A display device which displays a list of data each of which a date and time is associated with, the display device comprising:
- a date and time acquisition section which acquires the date and time associated with a piece of the data;
a three-dimensional display section which displays, when a date and time is expressed by a combination of three kinds of time units with different lengths, a three-dimensional space having axes respectively indicating the three kinds of time units, and arranges an icon indicating the piece of the data at a position corresponding to the date and time acquired by the date and time acquisition section, on the three-dimensional space; and
a two-dimensional display section which displays a two-dimensional space having axes respectively indicating two kinds of time units including a first unit, which is the longest, among the three kinds of time units, and arranges a mark indicating that the data with which the date and time is associated exists at the position of the date and time acquired by the date and time acquisition section, on the two-dimensional space.

Abstract
A display device which displays a list of data, including a date and time acquisition section which acquires the date and time associated with a piece of the data. The display device further includes: a three-dimensional display section which displays a three-dimensional space having axes respectively indicating the three kinds of time units, and arranges an icon indicating the piece of the data at a position corresponding to the date and time; and a two-dimensional display section which displays a two-dimensional space having axes indicating two kinds of time units including a first unit, which is the longest, among the three kinds of time units, and arranges a mark indicating that the data with which the date and time is associated exists at the position of the date and time acquired by the date and time acquisition section.

15. A display program storage medium storing a display program which is executed in a computer to construct a display device for displaying a list of data each of which a date and time is associated with, on the computer, the program constructing:
-
a date and time acquisition section which acquires the date and time associated with a piece of the data; a three-dimensional display section which displays, when a date and time is expressed by a combination of three kinds of time units with different lengths, a three-dimensional space having axes respectively indicating the three kinds of time units, and arranges an icon indicating the piece of the data at a position corresponding to the date and time acquired by the date and time acquisition section, on the three-dimensional space; and a two-dimensional display section which displays a two-dimensional space having axes respectively indicating two kinds of time units including a first unit, which is the longest, among the three kinds of time units, and arranges a mark indicating that the data with which the date and time is associated exists at the position of the date and time acquired by the date and time acquisition section, on the two-dimensional space. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A display method for displaying a list of data each of which a date and time is associated with, the display method comprising:
-
a date and time acquisition step which acquires the date and time associated with a piece of the data; a three-dimensional display step which displays, when a date and time is expressed by a combination of three kinds of time units with different lengths, a three-dimensional space having axes respectively indicating the three kinds of time units, and arranges an icon indicating the piece of the data at a position corresponding to the date and time acquired by the date and time acquisition step, on the three-dimensional space; and a two-dimensional display step which displays a two-dimensional space having axes respectively indicating two kinds of time units including a first unit, which is the longest, among the three kinds of time units, and arranges a mark indicating that the data with which the date and time is associated exists at the position of the date and time acquired by the date and time acquisition step, on the two-dimensional space. - View Dependent Claims (18)
