Abstract

A mobile phone includes a display provided with a touch panel. If a memo pad function is performed, a document and a cursor which indicates an editing position are displayed on the display. If a pinch out operation is made by two fingers in a state that a character is being displayed, the character being displayed on the display is enlarged. In such a state, if a third finger touches the touch panel between the two fingers, a cursor position is changed based on a touch position of a touch by the third finger.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal having a display which displays a cursor, a touch panel provided on the display and a detecting module which detects a touch operation with respect to the touch panel, comprising:

a calculating module which calculates an enlargement ratio according to an enlarging operation in a state that the enlarging operation is being performed with respect to the touch panel;

an enlarging module which enlarges a displaying by the display based on the enlargement ratio;

a first determining module which determines whether or not a further touch operation is performed in a state that the displaying by the display is being enlarged;

a second determining module which determines whether or not the further touch operation satisfies a predetermined condition when it is determined by the first determining module that the further touch operation is performed; and

a changing module which changes a cursor position of the cursor in response to the further touch operation satisfying the predetermined condition when it is determined that the further touch operation satisfying the predetermined condition is performed.

2. A mobile terminal according to claim 1, further comprising an undoing module which undoes the displaying by the display when the touch operation with respect to the touch panel becomes not to be detected in a state that the displaying of the display ie being enlarged.

3. A mobile terminal according to claim 1, further comprising a performing module which performs an editing processing based on the cursor position changed by the changing module.

4. A mobile terminal according to claim 3, wherein the editing processing includes line feeding processing and pasting processing as a kind of processing, further comprising a selecting module which selects the kind of processing when the cursor position is changed by the changing module.

5. A mobile terminal according to claim 1, wherein the enlarging operation includes a pinch out operation and the predetermined condition includes a condition whether or not the touch operation is performed within an effective range, further comprising

a setting module which sets the effective range based on positions of two points when the positions of the two points by the pinch out operation become not to be changed, wherein

the second determining module determines whether or not the further touch operation determined by the first determining module is included in the effective range.

6. An editing controlling method of a mobile terminal having a display which displays a cursor, a touch panel provided on the display and a detecting module which detects a touch operation with respect to the touch panel, comprising steps of:

calculating an enlargement ratio according to an enlarging operation in a state that the enlarging operation is performed with respect to the touch panel;

enlarging a displaying by the display based on the enlargement ratio;

determining whether or not a further touch operation is performed in a state that the displaying is being enlarged;

determining whether or not the further touch operation satisfies a predetermined condition when it is determined that the further touch operation is performed; and

changing a cursor position of the cursor in response to the further touch operation satisfying the predetermined condition when it is determined that the further touch operation satisfying the predetermined condition is made.

7. A mobile terminal having a display which displays a cursor, a touch panel provided on the display and a detecting module which detects a touch operation with respect to the touch panel, comprising:

a calculating module which calculates an enlargement ratio according to an enlarging operation in a state that the enlarging operation is performed with respect to the touch panel;

an enlarging module which enlarges a displaying by the display based on the enlargement ratio; and

an undoing module which undoes the displaying by the display when the touch operation with respect to the touch panel becomes not to be detected in a state that the displaying by the display is being enlarged.
