Abstract

An electronic device of the present invention includes display modules having display screens, respectively, touch panels that are provided on the display screens and accept touch input, and a selecting module for selecting two or more contents about which touch input is accepted by the touch panels when a plurality of contents are displayed on the display modules. When the selected contents are reselected, the selecting module cancels the selection. Further, a program of an electronic device according to the present invention executes a process for selecting two or more contents about which the touch input is accepted by the touch panels when the plurality of contents are displayed on the display modules, and a process for canceling the selection when the selected contents are reselected.

Claims

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a display module having a display screen;

a touch panel, provided on the display screen, for accepting a touch input; and

a selecting module configured to select two or more contents about which the touch input is accepted by the touch panel when a plurality of contents are displayed on the display module, wherein

when the selected contents are reselected, the selecting module cancels the selection.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein when the plurality of contents are displayed on the display module, the selecting module can select contents displayed on a route where the touch panel accepts the touch input, and when the contents that are selected on the route where the touch panel accepts the touch input are reselected, the selecting module cancels the selection.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2, further comprising a storage module configured to store an order selected by the selecting module.

4. The electronic device according to claim 2, wherein when the selection of the contents is canceled, the selecting module deletes the contents from the order stored in the storage module.

5. The electronic device according to claim 2, wherein when the touch input is not accepted from the touch panel, the selecting module defines the selected contents as a selection target.

6. The electronic device according to claim 3, wherein when any of contents selected by the touch input on the touch panel is reselected, after the contents are defined as a selection target, the selecting module deletes the reselected content from the order stored in the storage module.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a storage module configured to store a selection order of the contents selected by the selecting module, wherein

when the selected contents are reselected, the selecting module cancels the selection, and deletes the contents whose selection is canceled from the selection order of the contents stored in the storage module.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the contents include at least any of an image and a file name.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein at least any of an image, a file name, an icon, a thumbnail and a folder is displayed as the contents.

10. A program of an electronic device for allowing a computer of the electronic device provided with a display module having a display screen, and a touch panel, provided on the display screen, for accepting touch input, to execute

a process for selecting two or more contents about which touch input is accepted by the touch panel when a plurality of contents are displayed on the display module, and

a process for canceling the selection when the selected contents are reselected.

11. The program of an electronic device according to claim 10, wherein

the process for selecting the two or more contents is a process for selecting two or more contents displayed on a route where the touch panel accepts the touch input when the plurality of contents are displayed on the display module,

the process for canceling the selection is for canceling the selection when the contents selected on the route where the touch panel accepts the touch input are reselected.

12. The program of an electronic device according to claim 10, wherein

after the process for selecting the two or more contents, a process for storing a selection order of the selected contents is provided, and

the process for canceling the selection is a process for canceling the selection when the selected contents are reselected, and deleting the contents whose selection is canceled from the stored selection order of the contents.

13. An electronic device control method, the electronic device including

a display module having a display screen, and

a touch panel, provided on the display screen, for accepting touch input, the method comprising:

a step of selecting two or more contents about which the touch panel accepts the touch input when a plurality of contents are displayed on the display module; and

a step of canceling the selection when the selected contents are reselected.

14. The electronic device control method according to claim 13, wherein

at the step of selecting the two or more contents, when the plurality of contents are displayed on the display module, two or more contents displayed on a route where the touch panel accepts the touch input are selected, and

at the step of canceling the selection, when the contents selected on the route where the touch panel accepts the touch input are reselected, the selection is canceled.

15. The electronic device control method according to claim 13, wherein

after the step of selecting the two or more contents, a step of storing a selection order of the selected contents is provided,

at the step of canceling the selection, when the selected contents are reselected, the selection is canceled, and the contents whose selection is canceled are deleted from the selection order of the contents stored in the storage module.
