Information display apparatus, image taking apparatus, and method and computer program for controlling displaying information
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a user interface including a display; and
circuitry configured toreceive sensor detection information from a touch sensor;
control the display to apply a first visual effect corresponding to at least one of a plurality of objects without changing a layout or orientation of the plurality of objects in response to the sensor detection information indicating that a touch input received corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of objects is maintained over a time period less than a predetermined threshold; and
control the display to switch from applying the first visual effect to applying a second visual effect, which is larger than the first visual effect, corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of objects without changing the layout or the orientation of the plurality of objects in response to the sensor detection information indicating that the touch input received corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of objects is maintained over a time period equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold.

Abstract
An information display apparatus includes an input device adapted to input user operation information, a touch sensor adapted to detect the state of the input device in terms of whether the input device is touched by a user, a display adapted to display information, and a control unit adapted to receive user operation information from the input device and sensor detection information from the touch sensor, and control displaying of the information on the display in accordance with the received user operation information and the sensor detection information. If the touch information indicating that the input device is touched by the user is received from the touch sensor, the control unit displays first information associated with the input device on the display. If the input device is maintained in the touched state longer than a predetermined period, the control unit switches the displayed information into second information.

13. A method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
-
receiving receive sensor detection information from a touch sensor of the electronic device; controlling a display of the electronic device to apply a first visual effect corresponding to at least one of a plurality of objects without changing a layout or orientation of the plurality of objects in response to the sensor detection information indicating that a touch input received corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of objects is maintained over a time period less than a predetermined threshold; and controlling the display to switch from applying the first visual effect to applying a second visual effect, which is larger than the first visual effect, corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of objects without changing the layout or the orientation of the plurality of objects in response to the sensor detection information indicating that the touch input received corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of objects is maintained over a time period equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-program instructions, which when executed by an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:
-
receive sensor detection information from a touch sensor; control a display of the electronic device to apply a first visual effect corresponding to at least one of a plurality of objects without changing a layout or orientation of the plurality of objects in response to the sensor detection information indicating that a touch input received corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of objects is maintained over a time period less than a predetermined threshold; and control the display to switch from applying the first visual effect to applying a second visual effect, which is larger than the first visual effect, corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of objects without changing the layout or the orientation of the plurality of objects in response to the sensor detection information indicating that the touch input received corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of objects is maintained over a time period equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold.
