  • Patent number: 11599261
    Abstract: A display apparatus (1) includes a searcher (105) that searches document data displayed on a display device (10) for a target character that accords with a character to search, and a marker display controller (106) that displays a marker on a position corresponding to the target character detected by the searcher (105). A display controller (103) (i) causes the display device, when a slide operation is performed on the marker displayed on the display device (10), to display a next marker on an opposite side, in a direction of the slide operation, and (ii) causes the display device, when a slide operation is performed on a position other than the marker displayed on the display device (10), to scroll a screen on the display device (10) in the direction of the slide operation.

  • Publication number: 20220350371
    Abstract: When on a display device a closed state where the display device is folded is detected by an opening/closing detecting device, a controller allows at least one icon or button to be displayed on a screen of a display. When an open state where the display device is opened in a flat configuration is detected by the opening/closing detecting device, the controller changes the icon or button in shape or size on the screen of the display.

  • Patent number: 11449105
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a controller that invalidates, while an open-close movement state is being detected by an open-close detection device, a touch operation made on a touch panel, and that validates the touch operation made on the touch panel, when either of an open state and a close state is being detected by the open-close detection device and when in a neutral state, the neutral state being where none of the open-close movement state, the open state, and the close state is being detected by the open-close detection device.

  • Patent number: 11126294
    Abstract: An input apparatus includes a display device, a touch panel, and a control device. The control device includes a processor, and as a result of executing a control program by the processor, functions as a controller. When a position on the screen of the display device is specified by touch operation performed on the touch panel, the controller determines the position on the screen of the display device specified by the touch operation based on detection output of the touch panel, withholds reception of the determined position until passage of a predefined fixed period in a state in which the determined position is at a same position, and receives the determined position upon passage of the fixed period.
