Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A display device includes a display section, an assignment section, a setting section, and a detection section. The detection section specifies a specific candidate selection range among candidate selection ranges and detects an operation to switch between setting and non-setting of selected range setting by the setting section for the specific candidate selection range. In a situation in which the detection section detects a first operation to change the selected range setting for the specific candidate selection range and then detects a second operation performed in a specific direction from the specific candidate selection range, the setting section changes the selected range setting for the specific candidate selection range and changes the selected range setting for a candidate selection range located in the specific direction from the specific candidate selection range to the same setting as that set for the specific candidate selection range.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A display device comprising: a display section configured to display an image; an assignment section configured to assign a plurality of candidate selection ranges to the image; a setting section configured to perform selected range setting, the selected range setting being a setting to set any of the candidate selection ranges to each be a selected range; and a detection section configured to detect an operation to cause the setting section to change between setting and non-setting of the selected range setting for a selected candidate selection range, the selected candidate selection range being selected from among the candidate selection ranges, wherein in a situation in which the detection section detects a first operation to change the selected range setting for a specific candidate selection range among the candidate selection ranges and then detects a second operation performed in a specific direction from the specific candidate selection range, the setting section changes the selected range setting for the specific candidate selection range and changes the selected range setting for a candidate selection range located in the specific direction from the specific candidate selection range among the candidate selection ranges to the same setting as that set for the specific candidate selection range. 2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the detection section detects a tap operation as the first operation, and the detection section detects a flick operation as the second operation. 3 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein when the detection section detects a single tap operation as the first operation, the setting section sets the specific candidate selection range to be the selected range, and when the detection section detects a double tap operation as the first operation, the setting section releases the selected range setting set for the specific candidate selection range. 4 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein in a situation in which the specific candidate selection range is not set as the selected range when the detection section detects the first operation, the setting section sets the specific candidate selection range to be the selected range, and in a situation in which the specific candidate selection range is set as the selected range when the detection section detects the first operation, the setting section releases the selected range setting set for the specific candidate selection range. 5 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the assignment section assigns the candidate selection ranges arranged in a matrix having a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns to the image, and when the detection section detects that the specific direction in which the second operation is performed is an oblique direction, the setting section changes the selected range setting for a candidate selection range that is located in the specific direction from the specific candidate selection range among the candidate selection ranges to the same setting as that set for the specific candidate selection range. 6 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the assignment section assigns the candidate selection ranges arranged in a matrix having a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns to the image, and when the detection section detects that the specific direction in which the second operation is performed is an oblique direction, the setting section changes the selected range setting for some of the candidate selection ranges to the same setting as that set for the specific candidate selection range, the some of the candidate selection ranges being included in some of the rows and some of the columns each defined according to the specific direction from the specific candidate selection range. 7 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein when the detection section detects a third operation performed on one of the candidate selection ranges, the setting section sets a portion of the one of the candidate selection ranges that is subjected to the third operation to be the selected range. 8 . The display device according to claim 7 , wherein when the detection section detects the third operation, the setting section measures duration of the third operation and performs the selected range setting to increase an area of the portion of the one of the candidate selection ranges that is subjected to the third operation according to the duration of the third operation, the portion being to be set as the selected range. 9 . The display device according to claim 7 , wherein the third operation detected by the detection section includes a long press operation.
