Abstract: A plurality of GUIs are displayed on the screen of a display. A hit determination area of each GUI is defined within a graphic of the GUI. When a user touches a point of contact, four virtual points of contact are generated in the shape of a ‘V’ within the screen. A GUI desired to be selected by the user is identified according to a predetermined rule by referring to whether points of contact are located within each hit determination area, the number of points of contact, the priority level defined for each GUI, etc.

Abstract: A game device includes: a display control unit that displays a plurality of display targets on a display screen of a display device; an input acquiring unit that acquires a position of input from a front touch panel or a rear touch panel, which can detect input on the display screen; and a movement control unit that defines as a target to be moved a display target displayed by the display control unit on the display screen at a position corresponding to the position of a first input entry acquired by the input acquiring unit, and operative to scroll a display target other than the target to be moved in accordance with a second input entry acquired by the input acquiring unit while keeping the display position of the target to be moved at the position of the first input entry.

Abstract: Provided is a list display apparatus configured to: arrange, from a list including a plurality of item images arranged in order, item images included in a partial range of the list in a predetermined scroll direction, and display the item images in the partial range on a screen; and move the item images in the scroll direction at a speed corresponding to a user's scroll instruction, and move item images that have not been displayed on the screen in the scroll direction from outside of the screen into the screen so as to newly display the item images on the screen. When the item image that is newly displayed is moved in the scroll direction into the screen, at least a part of the item image is moved in a cross direction crossing the scroll direction from the outside of the screen into the screen at a predetermined speed.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing device which allows a user to provide, regardless of a position or direction of a touch sensor, an operation input to the touch sensor at an arbitrary position or in an arbitrary direction. The information processing device includes two touch sensors each including a detection surface for detecting a position of an object thereon, the two touch sensors being arranged to be opposed to each other, determines at least one of a reference point and a reference axis based on one or a plurality of positions detected by one touch sensor of the two touch sensors, and evaluates a content detected by another touch sensor of the two touch sensors based on the at least one of the determined reference point and the determined reference axis to determine a content of an operation input of a user.

Abstract: A setting screen display unit in a user interface (UI) screen setting file generator displays a setting screen on which a user makes input for the setting of a UI screen. A setting information managing unit stores results of the arrangement of component images on the setting screen in an internal memory when a content creator has completed arranging the locations of the component images in a virtual screen region on the setting screen. A mode switching processing unit switches the setting screen according to a screen mode representing a mode to be set out of the mode variations that can be adopted by a display of a device executing content. A setting file generator generates a UI screen setting file, of a predetermined format, which contains setting information shared among a plurality of screen modes and setting information set individually for each display mode.

Abstract: A game device includes: a display control unit that displays a plurality of display targets on a display screen of a display device; an input acquiring unit that acquires a position of input from a front touch panel or a rear touch panel, which can detect input on the display screen; and a deformation control unit that defines as a reference position a position on the display screen corresponding to the position of a first input entry acquired by the input acquiring unit, and that deforms, in accordance with a second input entry acquired by the input acquiring unit, a display target displayed on the display screen, while keeping the reference position as the center of the deformation.

Abstract: A game device includes: a display control unit that displays a plurality of display targets that are classified into a plurality of layers of a hierarchy; an input acquiring unit that acquires input on a front touch panel or a rear touch panel; and a switch control unit that switches display targets in a first layer in case that the input acquiring unit acknowledges a first operational input entry, which includes an input entry on the front or rear touch panel and movement of the position of the input entry thereafter, and that switches display targets in a second layer on a level upper than the first layer in case that the input acquiring unit acknowledges a second operational input entry, which includes a concurrent input entries on the front and rear touch panel and movement of the positions of the input entries thereafter.

Abstract: An information display terminal includes a flexible display unit that displays information and is configured to be flexible; bend sensors that are incorporated in the display unit and detect a bending degree by bending the display unit; and an image display control unit that controls a scrolling speed of the information displayed on the display unit in accordance with a detection output of the bend sensor, wherein a page turn-over display of the information is performed at the scrolling speed in accordance with the bending degree of the display unit. The information display terminal provides an interface for performing content browsing in a virtual world with the same sense of reading an actual book.

Abstract: A pin matrix having a plurality of pins disposed in a matrix pattern is mounted on a display unit disposed on an upper surface of a dot figure display main body in the housing of a dot figure display apparatus. As pins are driven, a dot figure capable of being touched and sensed is displayed. Infrared rays are irradiated from an infrared LED to the pin matrix. A video camera receives infrared rays reflected from a recursive reflection marker attached to a main finger tip to detect the position of the main finger tip on the pin matrix. A pressure sensor is mounted at each corner of the dot figure display main body. A pressure barycenter position and a press force relative to the pin matrix are calculated from a pressure detected with each pressure sensor. The manipulation state of the pin matrix is judged from the main finger tip touch position, pressure barycenter position and press force.

Abstract: A contents reproduction apparatus classifies contents reproducible by user into a group of reproduction candidates and a group of candidates added to the group of reproduction candidates and displays them, wherein the contents are moved from the added candidate group to the reproduction candidate group on predetermined conditions and an amount (ratio, conditions and the like) of contents to be moved can be adjusted arbitrarily by the user in response to input from an input unit, whereby contents groups selected previously by user and other contents groups are mixed in any ratio at user's choice of contents groups that the user desires to look at and listen to and the user can confirm what contents are mixed before the contents groups are mixed.
