Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A display control device includes a receiving portion configured to receive operation information input to a touch input portion, the touch input portion being located away from a display portion; and a processing portion configured to control display on the display portion in accordance with the operation information that is received by the receiving portion. The processing portion is configured to cause the display portion to display an image in which a cursor is disposed inside a plurality of icons that are circumferentially disposed, and the processing portion is configured to move the cursor to an icon among the plurality of icons, the icon being located in a direction of a slide operation received by the receiving portion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A display control device comprising: a receiving portion configured to receive operation information input to a touch input portion, the touch input portion being located away from a display portion; and a processing portion configured to control display on the display portion in accordance with the operation information that is received by the receiving portion, wherein the processing portion is configured to cause the display portion to display an image in which a cursor is disposed inside a plurality of icons that are circumferentially disposed, and the processing portion is configured to move the cursor to an icon among the plurality of icons, the icon being located in a direction of a slide operation received by the receiving portion. 2 . The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing portion is configured to move the cursor from the icon that the cursor overlaps to an adjacent icon in a case where the receiving portion receives the slide operation in a direction tangential to a circle formed by the plurality of icons in a state where the cursor overlaps the icon. 3 . The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing portion is configured to move the cursor to an area inside the plurality of icons in a case where the receiving portion receives the slide operation toward a center of a circle formed by the plurality of icons in a state where the cursor overlaps the icon. 4 . The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein: the processing portion is configured to cause the display portion to display first guidelines when the display portion is activated; and each of the first guidelines extends from the cursor located at a central position to a corresponding one of the plurality of icons. 5 . The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing portion is configured to cause the cursor to overlap the icon after moving the cursor to the icon that is located in the direction of the slide operation received by the receiving portion. 6 . The display control device according to claim 5 , wherein the processing portion is configured to cause the display portion to display arc-shaped second guidelines that connect the plurality of icons that are circumferentially disposed in a case where the cursor overlaps the icon.
