Abstract

There is provided an information processing device including a page feed unit configured to continuously feed pages in contents including a plurality of pages, and a display control unit configured to change the number of the pages to be displayed on a display screen according to an operation by a user when the pages are fed by the page feed unit.

Claims

1. An information processing device comprising:

a page feed unit configured to continuously feed pages in contents including a plurality of pages; and

a display control unit configured to change the number of the pages to be displayed on a display screen according to an operation by a user when the pages are fed by the page feed unit.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein the page feed unit continuously feeds the pages in units of the number of the pages to be displayed on the display screen.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein a speed of feeding the pages by the page feed unit is independent of the number of the pages to be displayed on the display screen.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

an operation detection unit configured to detect a touch operation by the user to the display screen,

wherein the page feed unit continuously feeds the pages when the touch operation by the user is detected by the operation detection unit.

5. The information processing device according to claim 4,

wherein the touch operation by the user includes an operation that the user slides a finger on the display screen, and

wherein the page feed unit continuously feeds the pages when the operation that the user slides a finger in one direction is detected by the operation detection unit.

6. The information processing device according to claim 4,

wherein when the touch operation by the user is detected by the operation detection unit, the display control unit makes the display screen further display a guide for making the user specify the number of the pages to be displayed on the display screen, and

wherein the display control unit makes the display screen display the pages in the number specified by the user in the guide.

7. The information processing device according to claim 6,

wherein the guide includes a display that indicates a plurality of candidates for the number of the pages to be displayed on the display screen,

wherein the information processing device further comprises a selection specification unit configured to specify the candidate selected by the user among the plurality of candidates for the number of the pages included in the guide, on the basis of a detection result by the operation detection unit, and

wherein the display control unit makes the display screen display the pages in the number specified by the selection specification unit.

8. The information processing device according to claim 7,

wherein the operation by the user includes an operation that the user slides a finger on the display screen, and

wherein the selection specification unit specifies which candidate is selected by the user among the plurality of candidates for the number of the pages included in the guide, according to a slide amount of the finger of the user in one direction on the display screen, which is detected by the operation detection unit.

9. The information processing device according to claim 6,

wherein the display control unit makes the guide be displayed at a position of a finger of the user detected by the operation detection unit on the display screen.

10. The information processing device according to claim 4,

wherein the page feed unit continuously feeds the pages when a touch by a first finger of the user to the display screen is detected by the operation detection unit.

11. The information processing device according to claim 10,

wherein the page feed unit stops the page feed when a touch by a second finger of the user to the display screen is further detected by the operation detection unit.

12. The information processing device according to claim 11,

wherein the page feed unit restarts the page feed when release of the second finger of the user from the display screen is further detected by the operation detection unit.

13. The information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein the information processing device is a portable device, and

wherein the information processing device further comprises a display unit configured to display the display screen.

14. An information processing method comprising:

continuously feeding pages in contents including a plurality of pages; and

changing the number of the pages to be displayed on a display screen by a processor according to an operation by a user when the pages are fed.

15. A program for causing a computer to function as:

a page feed unit configured to continuously feed pages in contents including the plurality of pages; and

a display control unit configured to change the number of the pages to be displayed on a display screen according to an operation by a user when the pages are fed by the page feed unit.
