TERMINAL DEVICE, LINK SELECTION METHOD, AND DISPLAY PROGRAM
First Claim
1. A terminal apparatus comprising,a touch panel for detecting coordinates of a touch position,a display unit where a touch field of the touch panel overlaps with at least a part of a display field thereof,a storage unit for storing document in which a link is set, anda controller, wherein,the controller serves to interpret the document data and generate display information to be displayed on the display unit,to set a predetermined range including a position being touched, as a link effective field,to allow a link selection only within the link effective field,to make transition to a link destination of the link having been in a touched state at the time of releasing of the touch within the link effective field, andto perform a predetermined process other than the link selection, when the touch moves outwardly from inside the link effective field while keeping the touched state.

Abstract
In a terminal apparatus for displaying as an image, a document in which a link is set, on a display screen which also serves as a touch panel, a favorable operation is achieved including link selecting operation, or the like, while eliminating a conflict in a touch operation. To this end, when a touch is made on a browser screen by a finger 350 of a user, a link selection is allowed only within a link effective field 360 including a position being touched. Then, when the touch is released within the link effective field 360 transition is made to a destination of the link being in the touched state. When the touch is moved outwardly from inside the link effective field 360 while keeping the touched state of the touch, a predetermined process other than the link selection is performed based on at least one of a relative direction or a moved distance of the touch with respect to the initial position of the touch. When a second touch is made while the touched state of the first touch is maintained, the predetermined process is disabled, and a link designation is accepted all over the display screen of the document data.

16. A link selection method for selecting a link in a terminal apparatus for displaying as an image a document to which a link is placed, on a display screen which also serves as a touch panel, the link selection method comprising the steps of:
-
interpreting the document data and generating display information which is displayed on the display screen, setting a predetermined range including a position being touched as a link effective field, allowing a link selection only within the link effective field, making transition to a destination of the link which has been in a touched state when the touch is released in the link effective field, and executing a predetermined process other than the link selection, when the touch moves outwardly from inside the link effective field while keeping the touched state.

17. A display program executed in a controller of a terminal apparatus for displaying as an image a document to which a link is placed, on a display screen which also serves as a touch panel, the display program allowing a computer to execute the steps of:
-
interpreting the document data and generating display information which is displayed on the display screen, setting a predetermined range including a position being touched as a link effective field, allowing a link selection only within the link effective field, making transition to a destination of the link which has been in a touched state when the touch is released in the link effective field, and executing a predetermined process other than the link selection, when the touch moves outwardly from inside the link effective field while keeping the touched state.

18. A terminal apparatus comprising,
a touch panel for detecting coordinates of a position being touched, a display unit where a touch field of the touch panel overlap one another within at least a part of the display field, a storage unit for storing document data to which a link is placed, and a controller, wherein, the controller serves to interpret the document data and generate display information to be displayed on the display unit, to make transition to a destination of the link which has been in a touched state when the touch is released in the link selecting process, to perform a predetermined process based on a first touch, and to disable the predetermined process, when a second touch is made while keeping the touched state of the first touch, and activates the link selecting process based on at least one of the first touch and the second touch, all over the display screen of the document data.

35. A link selection method for selecting a link on a terminal apparatus which displays as an image a document being provided with a link, on a display screen also serving as a touch panel, comprising the steps of:
-
interpreting the document data and generating display information to be displayed on the display screen, moving to a destination of the link which has been in a touched state when the touch is released in the link selecting process, executing a predetermined process based on a first touch, and disabling the predetermined process when a second touch is made in the state that the touched state of the first touch is maintained, and activating the link selecting process based on at least one of the first touch and the second touch all over the display screen of the document data. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37)
