1. An operation control device comprising:
- a contact detection unit for detecting contact of an operation body with a display surface of a display unit on which information is displayed;
a pressure detection unit, provided on the display unit, for detecting a pressure at which the operation body presses the display surface of the display unit; and
an operation control unit for changing a display state of the information displayed on the display unit in a forward or reverse direction on the basis of an amount of pressure detected by the pressure detection unit until the operation body makes contact with and is separated from the display surface of the display unit,wherein, when an object list in which a plurality of objects are arranged in one direction is displayed on the display unit, the operation control unit;
scrolls the object list in the forward direction step by step every time the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit exceeds one or more pressure thresholds set step by step, andscrolls the object list in the reverse direction, which is a direction opposite to the forward direction, step by step every time the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit falls below the pressure thresholds set step by step, andenters selection of a focused object of the object list when the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit has decreased by an amount greater than or equal to a first predetermined ratio within a first predetermined time prior to release of pressure.

13. An operation control method performed by an apparatus, comprising the steps of
detecting contact of an operation body with a display surface of a display unit on which information is displayed; -
detecting a pressure at which the operation body presses the display surface of the display unit in a state in which a detection unit is provided on the display unit; and changing a display state of the information displayed on the display unit in a forward or reverse direction on the basis of an amount of pressure detected until the operation body makes contact with and is separated from the display surface of the display unit, wherein, when an object list in which a plurality of objects are arranged in one direction is displayed on the display unit; scrolling the object list in the forward direction step by step every time the pressure detected exceeds one or more pressure thresholds set step by step, and scrolling the object list in the reverse direction, which is a direction opposite to the forward direction, step by step every time the pressure detected falls below the pressure thresholds set step by step, and enters a selection of a focused object of the object list when the pressure detected has decreased by an amount greater than or equal to a predetermined ratio within a predetermined time prior to release of pressure.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a processor of an apparatus functions as an operation control device comprising:
-
a contact detection means for detecting contact of an operation body with a display surface of a display unit on which information is displayed; a pressure detection means, provided on the display unit, for detecting a pressure at which the operation body presses the display surface of the display unit; and an operation control means for changing a display state of the information displayed on the display unit in a forward or reverse direction on the basis of an amount of pressure detected by the pressure detection means until the operation body makes contact with and is separated from the display surface of the display unit, wherein, when an object list in which a plurality of objects are arranged in one direction is displayed on the display unit, the operation control unit; scrolls the object list in the forward direction step by step every time the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit exceeds one or more pressure thresholds set step by step, and scrolls the object list in the reverse direction, which is a direction opposite to the forward direction, step by step every time the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit falls below the pressure thresholds set step by step, and enters selection of a focused object of the object list when the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit has decreased by an amount greater than or equal to a predetermined ratio within a predetermined time prior to release of pressure.
