  • Patent number: 11106348
    Abstract: The present invention intends to improve the operability when a user performs a drag & drop operation to shift an icon from the present page to another page. A user interface apparatus detects whether an end portion of an icon has been brought into contact with a display frame of the page, irrespective of the position of a finger or a pen that operates the icon. If the contact state continues for a predetermined time, the user interface apparatus causes the page to transit. Therefore, smoothly and intuitively shifting the icon to the next page is feasible.

  • Patent number: 10979583
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus that makes it easy to recognize which operating button corresponds to a displayed context menu. The context menu is for giving an instruction to execute a function corresponding to an operating button displayed on a display unit and is displayed when a predetermined operation on the operating button by a user is detected. The context menu is displayed at a predetermined display position set in advance with respect to a detected position at which the predetermined operation is detected on the display unit. Based on the detected position, the predetermined display position is switched to a position at which a characteristic part which represents a function corresponding to the operating button is not hidden by the context menu.

  • Publication number: 20180246636
    Abstract: Setting is performed such that, out of screens in which a predetermined touch operation is detected, scroll display is not performed even when the touch operation is detected in some screens and scroll display is performed when the touch operation is detected in the other screens. For that purpose, a control method for an image processing apparatus includes displaying at least a first screen and a second screen, scroll-displaying, according to a predetermined touch operation by a user on a first region of the first screen, an item that is displayed in the first region and scroll-displaying, according to the predetermined touch operation by the user on a second region of the second screen, an item that is displayed in the second region, and performing a setting to prevent scroll display that is based on the predetermined touch operation from being performed in the second region.
