INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, SCROLL CONTROL APPARATUS, SCROLL CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus including a main body, a display unit, and an inclination detection unit detecting an inclination of the main body, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a direction instruction unit that instructs a scroll direction in which a display range of the display unit is to be moved;
a reference inclination storage unit that stores, as a reference inclination, an inclination in the scroll direction when the scroll direction is instructed by the direction instruction unit among inclinations detected by the inclination detection unit;
an inclination difference output unit that outputs an inclination difference between the reference inclination stored in the reference inclination storage unit and an inclination in the scroll direction detected by the inclination detection unit; and
a scroll unit that moves the display range of the display unit in accordance with the inclination difference outputted from the inclination difference output unit.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus including a display unit and an inclination detection unit detecting an inclination of its main body includes a direction instruction unit, a reference inclination storage unit, an inclination difference output unit, and a scroll unit. The direction instruction unit instructs a scroll direction in which a display range of the display unit is to be moved. The reference inclination storage unit stores, as a reference inclination, an inclination in the scroll direction among inclinations detected by the inclination detection unit. The inclination difference output unit outputs a difference between the reference inclination and an inclination in the scroll direction. The scroll unit moves the display range on the display unit according to the difference outputted from the inclination difference output unit.

10. A computer program product embodied on a computer-readable medium and comprising codes that, when executed on a computer including a main body, a display unit, a direction instruction unit instructing a scroll direction in which a display range of the display unit is to be moved, and an inclination detection unit detecting an inclination of the main body, causes the computer to perform:
-
causing, among inclinations detected by the inclination detection unit, an inclination in the scroll direction when the scroll direction is instructed by the direction instruction unit to be stored as a reference inclination; outputting an inclination difference between the stored reference inclination and an inclination in the scroll direction detected by the inclination detection unit; and moving the display range of the display unit in accordance with the inclination difference outputted at the outputting.
