Abstract

An electronic device capable of making conversation using push to talk comprises a display module configured to display information, and a display controller configured to control the display module. The display controller makes the display module display a first display screen containing information about conversation using push to talk while the electronic device makes the conversation. When the display controller makes the display module display a display screen different from the first display screen while the electronic device makes the conversation, the display controller incorporates information on the first display screen into a partial region of the different display screen.

Claims

1. An electronic device capable of making conversation using push to talk, the electronic device comprising:

a display configured to display information; and

at least one processor that, during a push-to-talk conversation,

displays, on the display, a first display screen containing first information about the push-to-talk conversation, and,

in response to an operation to change the first display screen to a home screen comprising a plurality of pages,

adds a push-to-talk widget to an empty space in a page of the home screen by, until a page is found which comprises an empty space into which the push-to-talk widget fits, determining whether or not the page comprises an empty space into which the push-to-talk widget, in a first size, will fit, and whether or not the page comprises an empty space into which the push-to-talk widget, in a second size, will fit, wherein the second size is different than the first size, and wherein the push-to-talk widget comprises second information about the push-to-talk conversation, and

switches the first display screen to the home screen.
