Abstract

According to an aspect, a device includes a touch screen display and a controller. The touch screen display displays a lock screen in a locked state. The controller causes the touch screen display to display an activated icon corresponding to an activated function on the lock screen.

Claims

1. A device, comprising:

a touch screen display configured to display a lock screen in a locked state and a home screen in a unlocked state, the lock screen being different from the home screen; and

a controller configured to cause the touch screen display to display, on the lock screen,

a plurality of activated icons each corresponding to an activated function among a plurality of activated functions, and

a plurality of deactivated icons each corresponding to a deactivated function among a plurality of deactivated functions,

wherein

the lock screen is a screen in which any gesture other than a preset gesture is prevented from unlocking the device,

in response to the preset gesture on the lock screen, the controller is configured to cause the touch screen display to display the home screen, during display of the lock screen, the controller is configured to switch, upon detection of a specific gesture on the lock screen in an area outside all of the activated icons, between displaying and hiding of the activated icons in such a manner that

when the activated icons are not being displayed and upon detection of the specific gesture on the lock screen, the controller is configured to cause the touch screen display to display all of the activated icons and all of the deactivated icons on the lock screen, and

when the activated icons are being displayed and upon detection of the specific gesture on the lock screen in the area outside all of the activated icons, the controller is configured to cause the touch screen display to hide all of the activated icons from the lock screen, without stopping the activated functions corresponding to the activated icons, and

to keep displaying all of the deactivated icons on the lock screen after hiding all of the activated icons from the lock screen.

2. The device according to claim 1, wherein

the controller is configured to display, upon detecting a first gesture on one of the activated icons through the touch screen display, a screen of the activated function corresponding to the activated icon on which the first gesture is performed,

the controller is configured to deactivate, upon detecting a second gesture on the activated icon through the touch screen display, the function corresponding to the activated icon on which the second gesture is performed, and

the specific gesture, the first gesture and the second gesture are different from each other.

3. The device according to claim 1, wherein

the specific gesture is a long touch or a long tap detected through the touch screen display.

4. The device according to claim 1, wherein

the controller is configured to cause, when activating the lock screen, the activated icons not to be displayed on the lock screen.

5. The device according to claim 1, wherein

the controller is configured to display, upon detecting a first gesture on one of the activated icons through the touch screen display, a screen of the activated function corresponding to the activated icon on which the first gesture is performed.

6. The device according to claim 1, wherein

the controller is configured to deactivate, upon detecting a second gesture on one of the activated icons through the touch screen display, the function corresponding to the activated icon on which the second gesture is performed.

7. The device according to claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to

cause the touch screen display to display the activated icons at corresponding display positions on the touch screen display, and

move, upon detecting a first gesture for one of the activated icons at a contact position on the touch screen display, the display position of the activated icon according to a movement of the contact position of the first gesture.

8. The device according to claim 1, wherein

during display of the home screen and in response to a gesture on the displayed home screen, the controller is configured to cause the touch screen display to display

another home screen when the gesture is in a first direction, and

an activated-icon display screen with all the activated icons when the gesture is in a second direction different from the first direction.
