1. A display device, comprising:
- a display section that displays images;
an image storage section that stores a plurality of instruction acceptance images that are displayed on the display section to accept an instruction from an operator;
a display controller that displays, on the display section, each of the instruction acceptance images stored in the image storage section;
a coordinate position designating section that accepts, from the operator, designation of a coordinate position within a display area of the display section;
an instruction accepting section that accepts input of an instruction associated with any of the instruction acceptance images that is displayed in the coordinate position designated by the coordinate position designating section; and
a speed detector that detects a speed of change at which the coordinate position designated by the coordinate position designating section changes,wherein, when a display position for any of the instruction acceptance images is designated by designation of the coordinate position accepted by the coordinate position designating section, the instruction accepting section enlarges, for a predetermined period of time, an area for accepting the input of an instruction associated with the instruction acceptance image that is displayed in the designated display position, to a size corresponding to the speed of change that is detected by the speed detector at the time of the designation.

Abstract
When a display position for any of a plurality of images is designated using a touch panel, an instruction accepting section enlarges, for a predetermined period of time, an area for accepting the input of an instruction associated with any of the image of the plurality of images that is displayed in the designated display position, in accordance with speed of change that is detected by a speed detector at the time of the designation.

6. A display control method for displaying, on a display section of an electronic device, a plurality of instruction acceptance images for accepting an instruction from an operator, and accepting, from the operator, input of an instruction associated with any of the instruction acceptance images,
the display control method comprising: -
an instruction acceptance image display step of displaying each of the instruction acceptance images on the display section; a position designation accepting step of accepting, from the operator, designation of a coordinate position within a display area of the display section; an instruction accepting step of accepting the input of an instruction associated with the instruction acceptance image that is displayed in the coordinate position accepted in the position designation accepting step; a speed of change detection step of detecting a speed of change at which the coordinate position accepted in the position designation accepting step changes; and an area enlargement step of enlarging, when a display position for any of the instruction acceptance images is designated in the position designation accepting step, an area for accepting the input of an instruction that is associated with the instruction acceptance image that is displayed in the designated display position, to the size corresponding to the speed of change that is detected in the speed of change detection step at the time of the designation, for a predetermined period of time. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A display device, comprising:
-
a display section that displays images; an image storage section that stores a plurality of instruction acceptance images that are displayed on the display section to accept an instruction from an operator; a coordinate position designating section that accepts, from the operator, designation of a coordinate position within a display area of the display section; an instruction accepting section that accepts input of an instruction associated with any of the instruction acceptance images that is displayed in the coordinate position designated by the coordinate position designating section; a speed detector that detects a direction of change and speed of change in which the coordinate position designated by the coordinate position designating section changes; and a display controller that scroll-displays, on the display section, each of the instruction acceptance images stored in the image storage section toward the direction of change detected by the speed detector, and differentiates a display pattern of at least one of the instruction acceptance images scroll-displayed on the display section, from those of the rest of the instruction acceptance images, in accordance with the speed of change detected by the speed detector. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A display control method for displaying, on a display section of an electronic device, a plurality of instruction acceptance images for accepting an instruction from an operator, and accepting, from the operator, input of an instruction associated with any of the instruction acceptance images,
the display control method comprising: -
a coordinate position designation step of accepting, from the operator, designation of a coordinate position within a display area of the display section; an instruction accepting step of accepting the input of an instruction associated with the instruction acceptance image that is displayed in the coordinate position designated in the coordinate position designation step; a speed of change detection step of detecting a speed of change at which the coordinate position designated in the coordinate position designation step changes; and a display control step of scroll-displaying each of the instruction acceptance images on the display section in a direction of change detected in the speed of change detection step, and displaying an enlargement of at least one of the instruction acceptance images scroll-displayed on the display section, in accordance with the speed of change detected in the speed of change detection step. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
