Abstract

An information processing terminal according to the present invention includes: a touch screen display device 110; a control device 120 configured to control a display state on the touch screen display device; and a position detecting means 130 for detecting a specific position with respect to the touch screen display device 110. The control device 120 includes a display control part 121 configured to, in accordance with a distance between the position of an operator detected by the position detecting means 130 and a display region occupied by the display data on the touch screen display device, change a display state of the display data.

Claims

1. An information processing terminal comprising:

a touch screen display device;

a control device configured to control a display state on the touch screen display device; and

a position detecting unit for detecting a specific position with respect to the touch screen display device,

wherein the control device includes a display control part configured to, in accordance with a distance between a specific position detected by the position detecting unit and a display region occupied by display data on the touch screen display device, change a display state of the display data.

2. The information processing terminal according to claim 1, wherein the display control part is configured to determine a distal position and a proximal position on the display region in a direction of the distance from the specific position to the display data, and display in a manner that a display state varies from the distal position toward the proximal position.

3. The information processing terminal according to claim 2, wherein the display control part is configured to determine the distal position and the proximal position in the direction of the distance on the display region occupied by each of a plurality of display data displayed on the touch screen display device.

4. The information processing terminal according to claim 2, wherein the display control part is configured to display in a manner that a rate of a data size of the display data decreases from the distal position toward the proximal position, or display in a manner that the rate increases from the proximal position toward the distal position.

5. The information processing terminal according to claim 1, wherein the display control part is configured to change a display region occupied by shaded display data displayed in vicinity of a display region of display data displayed on the touch screen display device, in accordance with the distance.

6. The information processing terminal according to claim 1, wherein the display control part is configured to change a height of a three-dimensional display displayed in vicinity of a display region of display data displayed on the touch screen display device, in accordance with the distance.

7. The information processing terminal according to claim 1, wherein the display control part is configured to change density of a display color of display data displayed on the touch screen display device, in accordance with the distance.

8. The information processing terminal according to claim 1, wherein the display control part is configured to change luminance of a display color of display data displayed on the touch screen display device, in accordance with the distance.

9. The information processing terminal according to claim 1, wherein the display control part is configured to display in a manner that, in accordance with an angle from the specific position detected by the position detecting means unit to a display position of display data on the touch screen display device with respect to a display surface of the touch screen display device, a display state of the display data changes.

10. The information processing terminal according to claim 1, wherein:

the control device includes a contact detecting part configured to detect a contact input to the touch screen display device; and

the contact detecting part is configured to change a range to detect a contact input to display data in accordance with change of the display state of the display data by the display control part.

11. The information processing terminal according to claim 1, wherein:

the contact detecting part is configured to change detection sensitivity to a contact input to the touch screen display device in accordance with a distance between the specific position detected by the position detecting unit and a display position of display data on the touch screen display device.

12. The information processing terminal according to claim 1, comprising a horizontal state detecting unit for detecting that a display surface of the touch screen display device is in a horizontal state based on a previously set criterion,

wherein the display control part is configured to display in a manner that the display state of the display data changes in a case where the horizontal state detecting unit detects that the touch screen display device is in the horizontal state.

13. The information processing terminal according to claim 1, wherein:

the position detecting unit is configured to detect a previously set specific person existing in the specific position; and

the display control part is configured to, in accordance with a distance between the position of the specific person detected by the position detecting unit and a display position of display data on the touch screen display device, change a display state of the display data.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program comprising instructions for causing an information processing terminal including a touch screen display device to realize:

a position detecting unit for detecting a specific position with respect to the touch screen display device; and

a display control part configured to control a display state on the touch screen display device and, in accordance with a distance between a specific position detected by the position detecting unit and a display region occupied by display data on the touch screen display device, change a display state of the display data.

15.
