DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a detection unit configured to detect a touch input onto a display screen of a display unit;
a display control unit configured to perform control to display on the display unit information indicating functions executable by a movement of a touch position by the touch input, out of functions assigned as functions executable by a gesture operation by the movement of the touch input, according to the movement of the touch input;
a confirmation unit, when the movement of the touch position satisfies a first condition, configured to confirm functions executable by gesture operation, and display the confirmed function;
a cancellation unit configured to cancel the confirmation when the movement of the touch position satisfies a second condition; and
a control unit configured to perform control to execute a function, when the touch input is released while the function is being confirmed, and not to execute any of functions assigned to the gesture operations, when the touch input is released while the confirmation is canceled.

Abstract
There is provided an apparatus that can prevent invoking of unintended functions in gesture operation. The apparatus displays gesture functions executable by movement of touch position, and when movement of touch position satisfies a first condition, confirms executable gesture functions to display confirmed functions. When the movement of touch position satisfies a second condition after the confirmation, the apparatus cancels the confirmation. When the touch input is released in the confirmed state, the apparatus executes the confirmed functions, and when the touch input is released in the canceled state, control does not execute gesture functions.

11. A control comprising:
-
detecting a touch input onto a display screen of a display unit; performing control to display on the display unit information representing functions executable by a movement of a touch position of the touch input, out of functions as assigned functions executable by gesture operation by a movement of the touch input, according to the movement of the detected touch input; confirming functions executable by a gesture operation of the detected touch input, and displaying the confirmed functions, when the movement of the touch position satisfies a first condition; canceling the confirmation, when the movement of the touch position satisfies a second condition; performing control to execute the confirmed function, when the touch input is released while the function is confirmed, and performing control not to execute any of functions assigned to the gesture operations, when the touch input is released while the confirmation is canceled. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
