Abstract: To make it possible to exclusively treat an operating input to a touch sensor or an operating input to an operating key different from the touch center as an operating input serving as a basis for the performance of processing. A processing executing section performs processing according to an operating input to a touch sensor or an operating input to an operating section. When the operating inputs to both of the touch sensor and the operating section are received, the processing executing section performs only processing according to one of the operating inputs.

Abstract: A menu display device includes: means for displaying on a screen a given range within a menu, in which a plurality of menu items are arranged in an array; means for moving the given range in response to a predetermined operation performed by a user; means for determining whether or not the menu item at an end within the menu is displayed in a predetermined position of the screen; and means for changing, when the menu item at the end is displayed in the predetermined position of the screen, the space between the menu items displayed on the screen in response to the predetermined operation performed by the user.

Abstract: In response to a selection of a program, a board image display control section sets program related information associated with the selected program in a displayable state. An execution start managing section starts the program in response to reception of a request to start the program, the program related information associated with the program being set in the displayable state. A stop and end managing section ends an already started program when a given condition is satisfied at a time of starting the program by the execution start managing section. A setting of program related information associated with the ended program is maintained in a displayable state even after the program is ended by the stop and end managing section.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus capable of, even during a period in which an application program is not executed, presenting, to a user, information on an execution content of the application program. The information processing apparatus acquires display element information output by the application program during an execution of the application program, stores the display element information in a storage unit, generates an image including a display element represented by the display element information stored in the storage unit as a program-related image presenting information relating to the application program, and controls a display unit to display the generated image during the period in which the application program is not executed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for: displaying on a screen a partial area image indicating a given area within an image to be displayed; moving the given area in response to a predetermined operation performed by a user; and determining whether or not the given area is located at an end portion of the image to be displayed, where, when the given area is located at the end portion of the image to be displayed, in response to the predetermined operation performed by the user, instead of moving the given area, changing an appearance of the partial area image displayed on the screen and displaying the partial area image on the screen.

Abstract: If a corresponding area that is an area in a touch sensor related with an option is set larger than the size of a displayed option and corresponding areas related with different options overlap each other, any user-selected options may be properly identified. A processing execution block controls such that an option is displayed on a display block. An option identification block identifies, if a detection corresponding position that is a position in the display block related with a detected position detected by a touch sensor is inside an area in which a corresponding area that is an area including an area in which an option is displayed overlaps two or more options, any of these two or more options on the basis of a positional relation between said detection corresponding position and a corresponding area for each of these two or more options.

Abstract: A three-dimensional content playback unit outputs to two or more image buffers a plurality of stereoscopic images of three-dimensional content, including a first parallax image and a second parallax image, resulting from viewing an object in a virtual three-dimensional space from different viewpoints. An interrupt request receiving unit receives an interrupt request requesting that a control menu be displayed. A control menu output unit overwrites, responsive to the acquisition of an interrupt request by the interrupt request receiving unit, a drawn image of an object in a three-dimensional space with an image of an object of the control menu drawn with parallax while moving the object of the control menu in the depth direction of the virtual three-dimensional space away from the viewpoint, regardless of the relative positions of the object of the control menu and the object in the three-dimensional space.

Abstract: Provided is an image display device, including: display means for displaying on a screen a partial area image indicating a given area within an image to be displayed; display area moving means for moving the given area in response to a predetermined operation performed by a user; and determination means for determining whether or not the given area is located at an end portion of the image to be displayed, in which, when the given area is located at the end portion of the image to be displayed, the display means changes a display magnification of the partial area image displayed on the screen and display the partial area image on the screen in response to the predetermined operation performed by the user (S1023, S1026).

Abstract: A device with a display is provided with a first touch pad on the front face of the device and a second touch pad on the rear face. When an operation is performed only on the first touch pad, the process allocated to the point of contact or the pattern of movement thereof is identified and executed. When both the first and second touch pads are used for operation, the process defined to correspond to a combination of modes of movement of the points of contact is identified and executed. When an operation is performed only on the second touch pad, only the component of the movement of the point of contact in a limited direction is extracted to calculate the amount of scrolling, and a scroll process is performed accordingly.
