Abstract

There is provided a display device includes: a memory; and a processor coupled with the memory and the processor configured to: detect a tilt of the display device; detect a touch position touched on a touch panel of the display device; and point a position different from the touch position detected, based on the tilt detected, the touch position detected, and a first distance from a reference position on the touch panel to the touch position detected.

Claims

1. A display device comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled with the memory and the processor configured to;

detect a tilt of the display device;

detect a touch position touched on a touch panel of the display device; and

point a position different from the touch position detected, based on the tilt detected, the touch position detected, and a first distance from a reference position on the touch panel to the touch position detected.

2. The display device according to claim 1,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

set a first position touched first among a plurality of continuously-touched positions on the touch panel, as the reference position;

calculate a second distance from the reference position to a last position touched lastly among the plurality of continuously-touched positions; and

point a position different from the last position on the touch panel, based on the tilt detected, the last position, and the second distance.

3. The display device according to claim 2,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

point a position located on an extended line obtained by extending, to the touch position, a straight line on which the reference position and the touch position are connected with, based on the tilt, the touch position, and the second distance.

4. The display device according to claim 3,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

calculate a third distance by multiplying the second distance by a coefficient corresponding to the tilt; and

point a position away from the reference position by the third distance.

5. The display device according to claim 3,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

calculate a fourth distance by adding a fifth distance corresponding to the tilt to the second distance; and

point a position away from the reference position by the fourth distance.

6. The display device according to claim 1,

wherein the processor is further configured to display an icon at the position different from the touch position, the icon indicating that the position is pointed as a position to be touched on the touch panel.

7. The display device according to claim 6,

wherein the processor is further configured to perform, in response to acceptance of a predetermined operation after the pointing of the position different from the touch position, a process corresponding to the different position and the predetermined operation.

8. The display device according to claim 1,

wherein the processor is further configured to shift to a mode in which the processor points the position different from the touch position on the touch panel, in response to pressing down of the touch panel at a predetermined pressure or more.

9. The display device according to claim 8,

wherein the processor is further configured to shift to a mode where the processor points the touch position on the touch panel, in response to acceptance of a predetermined operation after shifting to the mode in which the processor points the position different from the touch position on the touch panel.

10. A display control method for a display device, the display method comprising:

detecting a tilt of the display device;

detecting a touch position touched on a touch panel of the display device; and

pointing a position different from the touch position detected, based on the tilt detected, the touch position detected, and a distance from a reference position on the touch panel to the touch position detected, as a position to be touched on the touch panel, by a processor.

11. A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a procedure for a display device, the procedure comprising:

detecting a tilt of the display device;

detecting a touch position touched on a touch panel of the display device; and

pointing a position different from the touch position detected, based on the tilt detected, the touch position detected, and a distance from a reference position on the touch panel to the touch position detected, as a position to be touched on the touch panel.
