DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A display control apparatus comprising:
- a display device configured to detect a touch operation performed by a user on a touch panel associated with a display panel, the display device being adapted to detect at least a first type of swipe operation and a second type of swipe operation different from the first type of swipe operation, and a user interface screen displayed on the display panel being identified by a combination of one of operation targets and a group of operation elements;
an area setting section configured to define an area on the user interface screen displayed on the display panel where the first type of swipe operation is valid; and
a display update section configured to update the user interface screen displayed on the display panel in such a manner that, (1) when the first type of swipe operation is detected in the defined area on a first user interface screen which is identified by a combination of a first operation target and a first group of operation elements, the first user interface screen is changed to a second user interface screen which is identified by a combination of the first operation target and a second group of operation elements, whereas, (2) when the second type of swipe operation is detected on the first or second user interface screen, the first or second user interface screen is changed to a third user interface screen which is identified at least by a second operation target.

Abstract
Each of first and second types of swipe operation, different from each other, performed by a user on a touch panel associated with a display panel, can be detected. An area on a user interface screen displayed on the display panel, where the first type of swipe operation is valid, is predefined. When the first type of swipe operation is detected in the predefined area on a first user interface screen which is identified by a combination of a first operation target and a first group of operation elements, the user interface screen is changed to a second user interface screen which is identified by a combination of the first operation target and a second group of operation elements. When the second type of swipe operation is detected on the first or second user interface screen, the user interface screen is changed to a third user interface screen.

12. A computer-implemented method for controlling display, comprising:
-
detecting a touch operation performed by a user on a touch panel associated with a display panel of a display device, the display device being adapted to detect at least a first type of swipe operation and a second type of swipe operation different from the first type of swipe operation, a user interface screen displayed on the display panel being identified by a combination of one of operation targets and a group of operation elements; defining an area on the user interface screen displayed on the display panel where the first type of swipe operation is valid; and updating the user interface screen displayed on the display panel in such a manner that, (1) when the first type of swipe operation is detected in the defined area on a first user interface screen which is identified by a combination of a first operation target and a first group of operation elements, the first user interface screen is changed to a second user interface screen which is identified by a combination of the first operation target and a second group of operation elements, whereas, (2) when the second type of swipe operation is detected on the first or second user interface screen, the first or second user interface screen is changed to a third user interface screen which is identified at least by a second operation target.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing a group of instructions executable by a processor to perform a method for controlling display, the method comprising:
-
detecting a touch operation performed by a user on a touch panel associated with a display panel of a display device, the display device being adapted to detect at least a first type of swipe operation and a second type of swipe operation different from the first type of swipe operation, a user interface screen displayed on the display panel being identified by a combination of one of operation targets and a group of operation elements; defining an area on the user interface screen displayed on the display panel where the first type of swipe operation is valid; and updating the user interface screen displayed on the display panel in such a manner that, (1) when the first type of swipe operation is detected in the defined area on a first user interface screen which is identified by a combination of a first operation target and a first group of operation elements, the first user interface screen is changed to a second user interface screen which is identified by a combination of the first operation target and a second group of operation elements, whereas, (2) when the second type of swipe operation is detected on the first or second user interface screen, the first or second user interface screen is changed to a third user interface screen which is identified at least by a second operation target.
