Abstract

A display control apparatus includes: a display control unit that displays a first page to which an object is affixed at a designated position and a second page as arranged side by side on a display; a detecting unit that detects overlap between the object and the second page when the first page and the second page are arranged side by side; and a processing unit that performs a process for preventing a reduction in visual recognizability of the second page displayed on the display due to the overlap in the case where the overlap is detected by the detecting unit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display control apparatus comprising:
a display controller configured to cause a display to display a first page and a second page arranged side-by-side, the first page having a tag object affixed at a designated positon;
a processor configured to detect overlap between the tag object and the second page, in response to the first page and the second page being arranged side-by-side, and to perform, in response to the overlap being detected, a process for preventing a reduction in visual recognizability of the second page displayed on the display due to the overlap; and
a page selecting unit configured to select the first page or the second page,
wherein the process includes increasing a first transparency of a region of the tag object that overlaps the second page relative to a second transparency of a region of the tag object that overlaps the first page,
wherein the tag object is displayed as an image that looks like a tag, and
wherein the processor is configured to perform the process in response to the second page being selected by the page selecting unit.

2. The display control apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the process includes not displaying the region of the tag object that overlaps the second page.

3. The display control apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an object selecting unit configured to select the tag object,
wherein, in response to the tag object being selected by the object selecting unit, the processing unit does not perform the process on the tag object.

4. The display control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the second page has a second tag object affixed at a second designated position,
the processor is further configured to, in response to detecting a second overlap between the second tag object and the first page, perform a second process for preventing a reduction in visual recognizability of the first page displayed on the display due to the second overlap,
wherein the second process includes increasing a third transparency of an overlapping region of the second tag object that overlaps the first page relative to a fourth transparency of a non-overlapping region of the second tag object that does not overlap the first page.

5. The display control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the process further comprises displaying a broken line around the region of the tag object that overlaps the second page.

6. A display control apparatus comprising:
a display controller configured to cause a display to display a first page and a second page arranged side-by-side, the first page having a tag object affixed at a designated position;
a processor configured to detect overlap between the tag object and the second page, in response to the first page and the second page being arranged side-by-side, and to perform, in response to the overlap being detected, a process for preventing a reduction in visual recognizability of the second page displayed on the display due to the overlap; and
a page selecting unit configured to select the first page or the second page,
wherein the process includes moving at least one of the first page and the second page to a position at which the tag object and the second page do not overlap each other,
wherein the tag object is displayed as an image that looklike a tag, and
wherein the processor is configured to perform the process in response to the second page being selected by the page selecting unit.

7. The display control apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the process includes widening a gap between the first page and the second page.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to perform a process comprising: displaying a first page to which an tag object is affixed at a designated position and a second page as arranged side by side on a display; detecting overlap between the tag object and the second page when the first page and the second page are arranged side by side; and preventing a reduction in visual recognizability of the second page displayed on the display due to the overlap in the case where the overlap is detected,
wherein the process includes increasing, in response to the second page being selected, a first transparency of a region of the tag object that overlaps the second page relative to a second transparency of a region of the tag object that overlaps the first page.
