Abstract

A method for displaying image information, the method including a step of specifying a character string which a user tries to distinguish among character strings displayed on a display portion and a step of enlarging and displaying the character string.

Claims

1. A method for displaying image information, comprising:

a first step of displaying image information including a character string on a display portion by using light with a wavelength greater than or equal to 420 nm, the display portion including a plurality of pixels with a resolution of 150 ppi or more;

a second step of selecting a first region including the character string; and

a third step of enlarging and displaying the character string in a second region which is larger than the first region.

2. The method for displaying image information, according to claim 1, further comprising:

a fourth step of bringing the first region into a non-selected state; and

a fifth step of erasing display of the character string from the second region.

3. The method for displaying image information, according to claim 1,

wherein a plain image is displayed on the second region as a background of the character string.

4. The method for displaying image information, according to claim 1,

wherein the first region includes a row to which the character string belongs and rows before and after the row to which the character string belongs.

5. The method for displaying image information, according to claim 1,

wherein in the third step, the second region is located so as to partly overlap with or be adjacent to the first region.

6. The method for displaying image information, according to claim 2,

wherein in the fourth step, the first region is brought into a non-selected state by selecting a region other than both of the first region and the second region.

7. The method for displaying image information, according to claim 1, further comprising:

a step of specifying one user in accordance with positions of users with respect to the display portion,

wherein in the second step, the first region including the character string is selected by using a sight line of the one user.

8. The method for displaying image infatuation, according to claim 7, further comprising:

a fourth step of bringing the first region into a non-selected state; and

a fifth step of erasing display of the character string from the second region.

9. A storage unit storing a program for making an information processor execute a process,

wherein the information processor includes a display portion which includes a plurality of pixels at a resolution of 150 ppi or more, and

wherein the process comprising:

a first step of displaying image information including a character string on the display portion by using light with a wavelength greater than or equal to 420 nm;

a second step of selecting a first region including the character string; and

a third step of enlarging and displaying the character string in a second region which is larger than the first region.

10. The storage unit according to claim 9,

wherein the process further comprises:

a fourth step of bringing the first region into a non-selected state; and

a fifth step of erasing display of the character string from the second region.

11. The storage unit according to claim 9,

wherein a plain image is displayed on the second region as a background of the character string.

12. The storage unit according to claim 9,

wherein the first region includes a row to which the character string belongs and rows before and after the row to which the character string belongs.

13. An information processor comprising:

an arithmetic unit configured to execute a process;

an input unit capable of inputting information to the arithmetic unit; and

a display portion which includes a plurality of pixels at a resolution of 150 ppi or more,

wherein the process comprises;

a first step of displaying image information including a character string on the display portion by using light with a wavelength greater than or equal to 420 nm;

a second step of selecting a first region including the character string; and

a third step of enlarging and displaying the character string in a second region which is larger than the first region.

14. The information processor according to claim 13,

wherein the process further comprises:

a fourth step of bringing the first region into a non-selected state; and

a fifth step of erasing display of the character string from the second region.

15. The information processor according to claim 13,

wherein a plain image is displayed on the second region as a background of the character string.

16. The information processor according to claim 13,

wherein the first region includes a row to which the character string belongs and rows before and after the row to which the character string belongs.
