Abstract

According to an aspect, a mobile electronic device includes an operating, a display unit, a storage unit, and a control unit. The display unit displays an idle screen. The storage unit stores a first object corresponding to first information and a second object corresponding to second information. The control unit executes a first display process for displaying the first object on the idle screen when the idle screen is displayed. The control unit executes a second display process for displaying the second object on the idle screen when a preset condition is satisfied after the first display process is executed.

Claims

1. A mobile electronic device comprising:

an operating unit;

a display unit for displaying an idle screen;

a storage unit for storing a first object corresponding to first information and a second object corresponding to second information; and

a control unit for executing a first display process for displaying the first object on the idle screen when the idle screen is displayed, and for executing a second display process for displaying the second object on the idle screen when a preset condition is satisfied after the first display process is executed.

2. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein

the first information is text information including a letter.

3. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein

the storage unit further stores third information, and

the second information is information to access the third information.

4. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein

the condition is satisfied when a preset first period of time has elapsed.

5. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein

the control unit displays the second object on the idle screen and does not display the first object thereon in the second display process.

6. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein

the control unit displays the first object together with the second object on the idle screen, in the second display process.

7. The mobile electronic device according to claim 3, wherein

in execution of the second display process, the control unit executes an explanatory display regarding the second object when the second object displayed on the idle screen is selected in accordance with an operation of the operating unit,

and executes an icon display regarding the second object when the second object displayed on the idle screen is not selected.

8. The mobile electronic device according to claim 7, wherein

the control unit accesses the third information corresponding to the second object when the selected second object is decided in accordance with an operation of the operating unit in a state where the second object displayed on the idle screen is selected, in execution of the second display process.

9. The mobile electronic device according to claim 2, wherein

the control unit executes a detail display regarding the text information when the first object displayed on the idle screen is selected and decided in accordance with an operation of the operating unit, in execution of the first display process.

10. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein:

the storage unit stores a plurality of first objects; and

the control unit changes the first object to be displayed, every time the first display process is executed.

11. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein

the operating unit has a function call key which is operated to execute a predetermined function, and

the control unit changes from the display process for the idle screen to the display process for the predetermined function when the function call key of the operating unit is operated, in a state where the idle screen is displayed.

12. A display control method for a mobile electronic device, the method comprising:

displaying an idle screen on a display unit;

displaying first object on the idle screen, the first object corresponding to first information; and

displaying second object on the idle screen when a preset condition is satisfied after the first object is displayed, the second object corresponding to second information.
