First Claim
1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a display having a touch panel and an elongated shape, the display including a first display region and a second display region, the second display region being contiguous with the first display region in a longitudinal direction of the elongated shape and being narrower than the first display region in a lateral direction of the elongated shape;
a memory storing a plurality of programs; and
a processor that controls execution of each of the plurality of programs stored in the memory, and controls the display, whereinthe display displays in the first display region a first display image generated by execution of a first program among the plurality of programs, and the display displays in the second display region a first icon image indicating a second program other than the first program among the plurality of programs, a display area of the first display image being larger than a display area of the first icon image,when the processor detects a contact at the first icon image in the second display region and detects that the contact at the first icon image moves in a direction towards the first display region, the processor causes the display to display in the first display region a second display image generated by execution of the second program,the electronic device is a wearable terminal, having an external shape of which a portion is a wide rectangular shape, a narrow portion extending from one side of the wide rectangular shape,the narrow portion includes a belt member for attachment to a user, andthe first display region corresponds to the wide rectangular portion and the second display region corresponds to the narrow portion.

Abstract
An electronic device that increases both visibility and selectability of executable programs. The electronic device includes a touch panel display having an elongated shape, a memory storing programs, and a processor controlling program execution and the display. The touch panel includes a first display region and a second display region contiguous with and narrower than the first display region. The display displays an execution image of a first program in the first display region and an icon image of a second program in the second display region in a smaller display area than the execution image. When the processor detects contact at the icon image and detects that the contact moves towards the first display region, the processor causes the display to display an execution image of the second program in the first display region.
