Abstract
A display apparatus includes: a display having a screen in which an image is displayed; an input unit having a surface on which a user'"'"'s touch is sensed; a display controller that displays a plurality of individual icons and one or more category icons each of which represents a category of one or more individual icons; and a motion recognition unit that detects a pinching-out motion to widen a distance between two points of touch on the surface based on a motion sensed by the input unit, wherein the display controller changes a state of one or more individual icons associated with at least one category from an enfolded state in which the one or more individual icons are not displayed to an unfolded state in which the one or more individual icons are displayed.

20. A display apparatus comprising:
-
a display having a screen in which an image is displayed; an input unit having a surface on which a user'"'"'s touch is sensed; a display controller that displays a plurality of individual icons and one or more category icons each of which represents a category of one or more individual icons; and a motion recognition unit that detects a motion by which a distance of two points of touch changes based on the user'"'"'s touch sensed by the input unit, wherein the display controller, changes a state of one or more individual icons associated with at least one category between an enfolded state in which the one or more individual icons are not displayed and an unfolded state in which the one or more individual icons are displayed.

21. A method of generating a user interface at a display apparatus in which a display that displays a plurality of individual icons and one or more category icons, each of which category icons represents a category of one or more individual icons on a screen and an input unit having a surface on which user'"'"'s touch is sensed are provided, the method comprising:
-
a first step of detecting a pinching-out motion to widen a distance between two points of touch on the surface when one or more category icons are displayed on the screen; and a second step of changing, upon detection of the pinching-out motion, a state of one or more individual icons associated with at least one category from an enfolded state, in which the one or more individual icons are not displayed, to an unfolded state in which the one or more individual icons are displayed.

22. A program that causes a computer of a display apparatus, in which a display that displays a plurality of individual icons and one or more category icons each of which represents a category of one or more individual icons on a screen and an input unit having a surface on which user'"'"'s touch is sensed are provided, to execute:
-
a first step of detecting a pinching-out motion to widen a distance between two points touching the surface when one or more category icons are displayed on the screen; and a second step of changing, upon detection of the pinching-out motion, a state of one or more individual icons associated with at least one category from an enfolded state in which the one or more individual icons are not displayed to an unfolded state in which the one or more individual icons are displayed.
