Patent number: 8847977Abstract: A touch screen includes a display unit and an operation input receiving unit that receives a touch. A display control unit allows a state of display on the display unit to transit from a first state in which an image is displayed as a front side of a card to a second state in which an additional information image is displayed as a rear side of the card. In response to a determination that the operation input receiving unit has detected in the first state that a touched location is a border of the image, an additional information access entrance is displayed at the border. When the operation input receiving unit detects a tracing operation in which the touch moves by a predetermined distance while touching the operation input receiving unit, the tracing operation starting from the additional information access entrance, the state of display is forced to transit.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2009Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Hiroyuki Ozawa, Ryo Takaoka, Ayako Iwase, Shinichi Iriya
