DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Below is a detailed description of an example of the implementation of the present invention, accompanied by reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 - a perspective view showing an example of the appearance of the device 10 information processing according to the example of the implementation of the present invention. Figure 2 - configuration flow chart showing the configuration of the device 10 information processing. As shown on the drawings, device 10 information processing includes controller 11, memory 12, block 13 image processing, display 14, tactile sensor 15 and click one of the 16 control.

Controller 11 is a CPU or a similar device and performs various kinds of processing of the information in accordance with the programs stored in the memory of 12. Description of a specific example of the processing performed by the controller 11 in this example implementation is shown below.

The memory of 12 is a useful element type of random access memory (RAM) or permanent memory (ROM), a disk device or similar device and stores the program executable controller 11, and various types of data. The memory of 12 works as a memory controller 11. In particular, in this example the implementation of the device 10 information processing is intended for execution of applied programs AR, such as a game, and the memory of 12 stores applications AR.

Block 13 image processing includes, for example, the GPU (graphics processing unit) and the buffer memory frame and renders the image to be displayed on the screen's display 14 in accordance with the visualization generated controller 11. As a concrete example of block 13 image processing includes buffer memory frame, screen mapping S, and the GPU in accordance with a team from the controller 11 writes over any given period of time the image in the buffer memory frame. Then an image recorded frame buffer memory, is converted at a certain time in a video signal and is displayed on the screen S.

As a display 14 various devices could be used to display images, such as liquid crystal display panel and organic electroluminescent (EL) display panel. Display 14 includes screen's having, as shown in figure 3, almost rectangular in shape. The lower side of the screen's referred to as the upper side of the L1, right side of L2, the left party L3 and the bottom side of L4. Horizontal screen S (i.e. direction along the top of the L1 and bottom sides of the L4) is the direction of X-axis and the direction toward the right side of the L2 is considered to be the positive direction of the x axis is Vertical screen S (that is the direction along the right side of the L2 and left side L3) is the direction of the Y-axis and the direction of the upper side of L1 is considered to be the positive direction of the y axis.

Tactile sensor 15, including almost rectangular surface, having the shape and size to match your display's, in the case of contact between the object with receptive surface detects the position of the contact object. Perceiving the surface of the tactile sensor 15 placed so that overlaps the screen S. thus below for ease of description used to enter the user sets his finger in contact with tactile sensor 15. However, the present invention of this option is not restricted, and the user can result in contact with receptive surface of the object type stylus held in his hand. Optional is the detection and location of an object only in case of contact object with receptive surface, tactile sensor 15 can also detect the position of the object relative to the receptive surface in the case of approximation of the object to the zone sensitivity to the receptive surface. Tactile sensor 15 device can be of any type, possessing ability to detect the position of the object on the perceived surface, such as sensor capacitive pressure sensor, sensor of optical type, etc.

Button 16 management is a variation of the bodies of management of the account user has used, in combination with tactile sensor 15 to enter a command in the device 10 information processing. By pressing the button 16 control the user provides input for the command in the device 10 information processing. The figure 1 shows only one button 16 control, but the device 10 information processing can include a multitude of buttons. In addition, the device 10 information processing can additionally include the switch, analog joystick or other such management body.

In this example implementation for receiving commands from the user controller 11 displays's a different image, such as the image menu and images related to applications of AR. Then the controller 11 takes a different kind of information processing using the detection received tactile sensor 15 able to display these images. That is, the controller 11 uses the result of the detection of the position of the user's finger with a tactile sensor 15 for a decision on the content of the commands entered by the user. Then the controller 11 is in the process of processing, consistent with the content of the command entered in accordance with the decision, and displays the result of the process on the screen's for presentation to the user.

The following is a description stored in memory of the 12 application programs AR, subject to the execution of the device 10 information processing. The below application program AR is a program activated in accordance with the user's choice able to display the image Im menu or image Ib Board, described below. In addition to application programs AR device 10 information processing can perform and various other programs.

In this example, the implementation of applications AR divided into two types: full-featured API program, which operate only in full-function mode; and lightweight program AP2, capable of operating in a mode other than the fully functional mode. Here the full mode is a mode in which one program occupies the whole screen S. Rich API program are in the process of its execution in a state of complete mode and display the result of processing the entire screen S. Lightweight program AP2 show the results of processing in the image Ib Board, described below.

In the respective each application programs AR as memory 12 also stores the image Ic menu items, representing the application of AR, and Iw background image (image of paper for Wallpaper). In addition, in the respective each full-featured API programmes form the memory of 12 stores icons for programs relating to programs. Icons for programs include an image to activate that is the object of manipulation by the user when you activate the program. In this example, the implementation of an image to activate an image IL button activation, representing the activation button.

Block 20 reception of commands operations accepts the command sent by the user through the tactile sensor 15 or button 16 management. In particular, in this example the implementation of the filing of the commands in the device 10 processing the information the user provides, for example, through contact your finger with receptive surface tactile sensor 15 or slide your finger, contained in contact with receptive surface on the surface. Below operation in which the user sets his finger in contact with one point on the perceived surface within a short period of time, referred to as operation touch. In case of execution of the operation, touch block 20 reception of commands of operations produces position signal touch (i.e. touch point of the user's finger with receptive surface on this surface). The operation, in which the user sets his finger in contact with one point on the perceived surface and, before lifting it from the surface, progressively moves on her finger from the initial position in either direction, called operation slip. In case of execution of the transaction slip device 10 information processing carries out various kinds of processing of the information in accordance with the direction of movement of the user's finger in the transaction. In other words, the operation of slip - this is the operation for setting the direction of the device 10 information processing. In case of execution of the transaction slip able to display the following image Im menu or image Ib Board block 20 reception of commands operations determines the direction of the user-defined, on the provisions of the starting point and ending point move. The specified direction can be any of the four directions on the screen S, such as up, down, left, or right. Or in the case of execution of the transaction slip, the starting point and/or end point of which is the status or position in the specified area able to display a specified image, on the provisions of the starting point and ending point sliding block 20 reception of commands of operations may take a decision on finding or the direction of sliding in a particular zone. Functional blocks, as described below, comply various kinds of processing of the information in accordance with the contents of the command touch and team slip taken block 20 reception of commands of operations.

At certain times, for example during activation device 10 information processing or during submission of user commands display the menu, block 21 control the display of the image menu displays the image Im menu on the screen S. Image Im menu - this image, the proposed user to provide him the opportunity to select from a menu that represents a lot of the images Ic menu items, which are the objects of selection by the user. That is, in the example of implementation of the image Im menu represents the image to let the user select one of the applied programs of AR, and each of the pictures Ic menu items, as indicated above, is stored in the memory of 12 in the respective any of the application programs AR form. Thus each of the images Ic menu items can be an icon representing the corresponding application AR. In this example, the implementation image Ic menu items were previously stored in the memory of 12. However, block 21 control the display of the image menu can generate the image Ic menu item corresponding to the application program AR, on the basis of, for example, a character string indicating the name of the program each of the applied programs of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Figure 5 the drawing showing an example of a screen's displaying the image Im menu. On this sketch image Im menu includes 10 images Ic1~Ic10 menu items related to applications of AR. Furthermore, figure 5 along the top of the L1 screen's property has an oblong rectangular area As to display the status bar, and this area As display of the status bar displays the status bar. The status bar displays the symbolic image Is described below, and may optionally be displayed various kind of information indicating the status of the device 10 information processing, including, for example, information on the carrying capacity of the battery and the possibility of communication, current time and etc. The area on the screen's showing the image Im menu, referred to as the area of Ab display Board. In the example, figure 5, region Ab display card is shown as the screen area S, except As to display the status bar. However, in the absence of necessity of the permanent display of the status bar area Ab display Board can occupy the entire screen S.

In this example, figure 5, the size of the Im menu coincide with the sizes of sphere of Ab display Board on the screen's, however, the picture Im menu can have dimensions that exceed the dimensions of the area Ab display Board. In this case, the user gives a command to scroll, described below, to scroll the image Im menu, is displayed in the region Ab display Board, prior to partition image Im menu, which includes the image of the Ic of the menu item that you want to display Ab display Board. Then the operation is performed selection of the displayed image of Ic menu items. It is also possible to customize the content of the image menu Im in accordance with the requirements of the user. That is in response to a command from the user device 10 to process information may, for example, add/delete images Ic of menu items that appear in the image Im menu, or change the position of the images Ic menu items in the image Im menu.

In case the user selects any of the images Ic menu items in the display state of block 21 control the display of the image menu image Im menu on the screen's block 22 control the display boards displays on the screen's image, referring to the image Ic selected menu item (image that is the object of choice). In particular, in this example implementation unit 22 control the display boards selects as an image, which is the subject of choice, image, referring to applications of AR, corresponding to the image Ic menu item the user selected, and displays the image on the screen S. That is when the block 21 control the display of the image menu ID application program AR chosen by the user, block 22 control the display boards reads icons for programs related to the application of the AR of memory 12 or accepts information related to applications of AR, through communication networks. The block 22 control the display boards can also select the icons for programs that include image IL button activation, using an external server through communication networks. Then a block 22 control the display boards generates an image that is a choice object, which includes the above information relating to applications of AR. This is an image that is a choice object, represents the image illustrating the content of the program card Century. Program card In a virtual area where posted by many elements of the display are related to the application program AR. Below is an image that is a choice object, illustrating the kind of program card In, is called the image of the Ib Board. Image Ib Board Ib is displayed in the Ab display the cards in which the 21 control the display of the image menu displays the image Im menu.

Program fee may constitute region, the dimensions of which coincide with the sizes of sphere of Ab display Board. However, the following program card represents A rectangular area that runs along a certain direction of the scroll of this direction of the Y axis), and the length of its sides, passing along the Y axis direction, exceeds the length of the sides of the region Ab display Board in the same direction. Therefore, block 22 control the display boards cannot display all program cost In the region Ab display Board, and displays in the pane Ab display Board as image Ib Board only window, which is part of the program card Century. Here window program card In, actually displayed on the screen S (below called window R with the object display), in accordance with the management performed by the unit 25 scroll control, as described below, moves on the programming Board along a particular direction of scrolling (Y axis direction). Image Ib Board represents the image illustrating the window R with display object moving in the result of the control exercised by a block of 25 scroll control. The dimensions and shape of the window R with the object of the display correspond to the sizes and the form field Ab display Board. That is, in this example, the implementation of the box R the display object has a rectangular shape, and the length of the sides of this area along the Y axis direction coincides with the length of sides of the region Ab display boards along the y axis direction. The length of the sides of the window R with display object along the X direction shorter lengths of the sides of the display area Ab Board along the X direction by the total length of two representative images In1 and In2 described below. When this window R with the object display when you first display the image Ib Board unit 22 control the display boards is in a certain position, for example at the top of the program card Century.

6 the drawing showing an example of a program card In the corresponding full-featured API program from applications AR. As shown in the diagram, in this example, the implementation of the program fee may include many sub-regions, each of which placed the display items that represent different types of information. 6 program fee includes two sub-region: region P1 information about the program; and region P2 communications. Region P1 information about the program is an area in which the information provided by the supplier of the application program AR, and whose dimensions correspond to the dimensions of the window, R with the object display. Scope same P2 communications is an area used by the user, for example, exchange of information.

I.e. P1 information about the program as a display item placed the icon of the program, stored in memory 12. In particular, in the example, 6, area P1 information about the program includes placed in the center of the image IL button activation is an object activation operation application program AR. Region P1 information about the program also includes various kinds of information relevant to an application program AR provided also by the program vendor placed around the image IL button activation. Accompanying information may be pre-stored in the memory of 12 as the icon of the program together with the application of the AR and the image of IL buttons to activate or can be supplied in the dynamic mode of the device is 10 processing of information through communication networks such as the Internet. In the latter case, in the memory of 12 pre-stored information (for example, the URL (uniform resource locator) or etc), indicating a provider of related information that should be included in the region P1 information about the program, this program in the respective form. Block 22 control the display boards uses information indicating provider of related information, to access the server distribution of content provided by, for example, provider of application program AR, through a network of communications and receives relevant information supplied by the server to distribute content. Then a block 22 control the display boards generates image area P1 information about the program, incorporating elements of the display, indicating the contents of the received related information, and the image IL buttons to activate stored in the memory of 12, as part of the program card Century. Vendor application program AR this allows you to update relevant information, stored on a server to distribute content, if necessary, to distribute the latest relevant information relating to the application of the AR, the device 10 processing of information, and to present such related information to a user when a user tries to activate the application program AR.

The region P1 information about the program can include not only information unique to the application program of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the relevant policy Board, and the display items, the contents of which coincide with the content and display elements of programme boards In other applications AR.

Region P2 communications is an area for the presentation of the content of messages relating to applications AR mailed by many users. That is, for example, the user of the device 10 information processing can send by mail the message relating to the application program AR to a specific server communications through communication networks such as the Internet. For realization of such process the mailing device 10 information processing stores information (such as URLS) to identify the server communications, on which the message is sent, in the memory of 12 in the appropriate application program AR form and accesses this information when sending a message typed by the user on the server of communications. When generating program card In corresponding application program AR, block 22 control the display boards accesses the server communications and gets information about a message sent earlier by mail, relating to the application of the AR. Then a block 22 display management Board generates image area P2 communications, which has a display elements representing the content of a message received and the senders of the messages, as part of the program card Century.

On the screen's able to display the image Ib Board a screen area S (below called area AU object operations), where the user performs the operation off the display and operation of a ban on off display, displays the image Ig for guidance on the provision of the operation. This image Ig for guidance on provision of execution of the operation is an image to direct a user in the position of the Speaker of the object display, S and displayed in a position corresponding to field AU object. The position of the displayed image Ig for guidance on provision of execution of operations may not fully match the position of the display of the area AU object. In the example, Fig.8, area AU object is located in the top right corner of Ab display Board, and the image Ig for guidance on provision of execution of the operation is an image, on which part of the Iw background image in this position is in a state of .

Able to display the image Ib Board on the screen's user can perform the operation switch the video image to switch the display image Ib Board. In addition, the user can complete the operation scroll key to move the window R with display object, which is located on the program card In, and as a result scroll the contents to be displayed as the image Board Ib. A detailed description of these operations is given below.

Able to display on the screen's image Ib Board corresponding to full-featured API program, the user can execute an operation command the activation of a fully functional API program. To are able to display on the screen's image Ib Board, which includes the activation button, the user through touching the display position of the image IL button activation gives a command activation corresponding to full-featured API program. When getting activation commands block 27 activation programmes activates full-featured API program in full mode, which makes the display of the image the process generated by this program, the entire screen S. In this state, when the user gives a command completion of the full-mode via push buttons 16 management or similar method, block 22 control the display image Board re-displays the image Ib card that appears directly before activating a full-featured API program. At this time the device 10 information processing optional completes a full-featured API program, which was played before, and may re-display the image Ib Board in a state of temporary termination of the program execution. As a result, when submitting user commands reactivate a full-featured API program by re-touch image IL buttons to activate or similar method device 10 information processing can restart the execution temporarily suspended the program.

As described above, in case of selection of images Ic menu item corresponding to full-featured API program, instead of immediate activation of this program the device 10 information processing first displays the image Ib Board, which includes the image IL button activation, which can provide the user with different kinds of information about the program. In addition, as described below, able to display the image Ib card user can perform the operation switch the video image to command switch the displayed image Ib Board. However, there are occasions when a program running in trial mode, accept such operation corresponding operation switching the image as a different activity relevant to the enforcement of this program. Therefore, in case of selection of images Ic menu item corresponding to full-featured API program, device 10 information processing first displays the image Ib card that allows to include in the composition of the objects switching by the operation of switching the image and comprehensive utility API, which occupies during the execution of the entire screen.

In case when the application program AR, the corresponding image Ic menu item selected by the user is able to display an image Im menu is not fully functional program API, a lightweight program AP2, block 27 activation programs can immediately activate a lightweight program AP2. In this case, instead program card In, which includes the image IL button activation, as mentioned above, block 22 control the display boards generates soft cost, which includes the processing result is a lightweight program AP2, and displays part of the program card In as an image Ib Board in the field of Ab display Board. As in the case of a fully functional API program, program card In the generated in this case may represent a rectangle with horizontal width (length of the sides along the X-axis), the corresponding horizontal width of the field Ab display Board, and extending in the direction of the y axis. In particular, for a program card, which shows the result of processing a lightweight program AP2, horizontal width is given so that does not exceed the horizontal width of the window R with display object, avoiding the need to run the scroll control to move the window R with the object display in the horizontal direction (X-axis direction)to enable monitoring of all program fees Century Therefore the operation of the slide in the direction of the X axis can be perceived not as the operation of the scroll key and as a rollover image, as described below.

Block 23 control selection sequence controls the selection sequence of images Ic menu items, previously selected by the user. That is, block 23 control selection sequence takes the ID of the program which is generated by the 21 control the display of a menu when the user selects an image Ic menu item, and then stores the IDs of the applications in the storage area (below called region of M storage selection sequence) in the memory of 12. Therefore, IDs programs, identifying applications AR previously selected by the user are stored in the memory of 12 in the order they are selected by the user. The block 23 control sequence choice limits the number of identity programs, stored in the field of M storage selection sequence, the pre-set value (below called the upper limit of N). That is, in this example, the implementation of the block 23 control selection sequence adds IDs programs in the area of M storage area selection sequence in the order of their receipt. Thus, when the user again selects an image Ic another menu item in the status after a user selects images Ic menu items up up to the number equal to the upper limit of N, and display the images Ib boards, corresponding N images Ic menu items, block 23 control selection sequence adds the ID of the application program AR corresponding to the newly selected image Ic menu items in the area of M storage selection sequence and remove IDs programs, stored in the field of M storage selection sequence, program ID, saved in the field of M storage selection sequence first. The upper limit of N in this example implementation is 7.

On fig.9-9C presented drawings illustrating examples of content data stored in the field of M storage selection sequence. On fig.9 shown that three applications AR: Ara program; program APC; and the program b, previously chosen by the user in this sequence. Then when the user selects the program APd, APh program, the program of the APf and the program of APg in this sequence, the contents of the data stored in the field of M storage selection sequence, looks like is shown on fig.9. After that in the case when the user selects a program of are able to display the image Im menu from the field of M storage sequence delete the selection program ID Ara stored in the field of M storage selection sequence the first, part of the N identifiers programs, stored in the field of M storage selection sequence, and the program ID of the Arab Republic of Egypt is added to the M storage selection sequence. The contents of the data in the field of M storage selection sequence looks like is shown on fig.9.

Here IDs of the applications stored in the field of M storage selection sequence is used to determine the image Ib Board as objects switch with block 24 switching images described below. That is, images Ib Board, corresponding to ID programs stored in the field of M storage selection sequence, become the objects of the switch using the 24 switching images, and the image Ib card that matches the ID of the program, remote from the field of M storage selection sequence is excluded from objects switch with block 24 switching images. Therefore, in case of receipt of the team select a new image Ic menu item in a condition where in the field of M storage selection sequence is already stored IDs programs number equal to the upper limit of N, block 21 control the display of the image menu can generate, for example, the display on the screen's a warning message that selecting a new image Ic menu item will result in an exception image Ib Board of objects switching. In this case, when you give in response to this message, permission for an exception image Ib Board of objects of the switching unit 23 control selection sequence can realize elimination program ID of the field M sequence of choice and ensure the display of the image Ib Board corresponding to the newly selected image Ic menu item. Otherwise block 23 control sequence choice may not exclude the program ID of the M storage area selection sequence. In this case, the ID of the program, the newly selected image Ic menu item is not added to the M storage selection sequence.

Thus in this example, the ID of the program that is removed if you select a new image Ic menu item represents the identifier of the program, stored in the field of M storage selection sequence first. However, the definition of the identifier of the program, subject to removal may be carried out in another way. Namely: block 23 control sequence selection retains the most recent display each image Board, which are the objects of switching using the 24 switching images. Thus, in case of switching off the display of the same image Ib Board as a result of switching the image with block 24 switching images block 23 control sequence selection retains information about the time, indicating it is the time corresponding to this image Ib card form. After entering the command select a new image Ic menu item in a condition where in the field of M storage selection sequence is already stored IDs programs number equal to the upper limit of N, block 23 control selection sequence refers to the stored information about the time for determining the image Ib Board with the earliest time of the most recent display of the image Ib Board on the screen S and deletes the program corresponding to a specific image Ib Board. When this is the case, when the time display image Board Ib on the screen's up to a certain value, unit 23 control selection sequence may not update the above-time information. This is because excessive short period of time since the display, the user can inadvertently cause the display of the image Ib Board in the process of switching the image without the intention of view and display S. In this case, therefore, the definition of the identifier of the program is to be removed, before actually removing the identifier of the program displays the above warning message, and remove the identifier of the program is done, when a user in response to this message gives permission to delete.

From the set of identifiers programs, stored in M storage area selection sequence, block 23 control selection sequence also controls the information type of the pointer pointing to the ID of the program that identifies the application program AR, image Board Ib which is currently displayed on the screen S. When the user selects a new image Ic menu item and in accordance with this ID corresponds to the program is added to the M storage selection sequence, to point to the newly added program ID block 23 control selection sequence updates the information of type "pointer". In addition, when switching the image displayed on the screen S, with block 24 switching images, as explored below, block 23 control selection sequence updates the information of type "pointer" in accordance with this switching.

When used as objects switching images Ib motherboards previously seen by a block of 22 control the display of images cards, block 24 switching images re-displays the image selected in accordance with the user of the images Ib boards, are these objects switching, in the field of Ab display Board on the screen S. That is, when a user performs a specific operation switching the image, unit 24 switch image to select the object of re-display a previously image Ib Board, other than the image Ib Board that appears at the present time, in accordance with the IDs of the programs stored in the field of M storage selection sequence, and the substance of the transaction switching the image and sends the block 22 control the display boards command re-display the selected image Ib Board, which is the subject of re-display it. In addition, in this example, the implementation of a number of images, which are the objects of switching using the 24 switching images, and the image Im menu. In other words, unit 24 switching images selects the image that is the object of re-display, in accordance with the substance of the transaction switching the image, carried out by the user, from the image Im menus and images Ib cards, IDs programs, stored in a region M storage selection sequence, in case of selection of image Im menu as an image, which is the subject of re-display it sends the block 21 control the display of the image menu command redisplay the image Im menu. In order to prepare such a redisplay the block 22 control the display boards can temporarily store image data Ib boards, seen previously on the screen's memory 12. In the variant of the invention block 22 control the display boards can re-generate the image Ib Board, subject to reappear in each case, the receipt of the team re-display it from the block 24 switching images.

In this example, the implementation of the rollover image is an operation setting the direction along one side of the screen S. i.e. when the user performs an operation slip for setting the direction along the top of the L1 and bottom sides of the L4 screen S (in the positive direction of the X axis or in the negative direction of the X axis) able to display the image Im menu or image Ib Board, block 24 switching images perceives operation slide as operation switching the image and in accordance with the preset direction - positive direction of the X axis or negative position of the X-axis and the order of storage of the identity program stored in the field of M storage selection sequence, defines the image that is subject to reappear.

Below is a detailed description of how the definition of the object of switching. In the case of the filing of the team setting the direction of the negative direction of the X axis able to display any image Ib Board as switching objects on the screen's block 24 switching takes the image ID the program from a number stored in the field of M storage area selection sequence stored in the field of M storage area selection sequence directly before the identifier of the program, corresponding to the image Ib card displayed at the present time, and selects the image Ib Board, corresponding to the obtained program ID, as the object of re-display it. The definition image Ib Board that appears at the present time, may be in the result of an appeal to the information of type "pointer", controlled by a block of 23 control selection sequence. At the same time, in case, when the specified direction is positive direction of the X axis, unit 24 switching takes the image identifier, is stored in the field of M storage selection sequence immediately after the program ID of the corresponding image Ib Board, the currently displayed, and chooses as the object of re-display the image Ib Board, corresponding to the obtained program ID. In particular, in the case of the filing of the team setting the direction of the negative direction of the X axis able to display the image Ib Board, the corresponding program ID, saved the first in the field of M storage selection sequence, unit 24 switching images switching the image does not, as the identifier of the program, stored in the field of M storage selection sequence before this identifier of a program does not exist.

In the case of the filing of the team setting the direction of the positive direction of X axis is able to display an image Ib Board, the corresponding program ID stored in the field of M storage sequence of a choice of the latest (that is, images Ib Board relating to the image Ic menu item the user selected the latest), unit 24 switch image to select the object re-display the image Im menu. And in case of reception of the reference commands direction in the opposite direction (i.e. commands setting the direction of the negative direction of the X axis) able to display the image Im menu block 24 switching images specifies as the object of re-display the image Ib card that matches the ID of the program, stored in the field of M storage sequence of a choice of the latest. In the case of the filing of the team setting the direction of the positive direction of X axis is able to display an image Im menu block 24 switching images switching the image does not.

According to the above method of the object's selection of the switching device 10 information processing can provide the effect of placing the image Im menus and images Ib boards, seen previously, the screen's horizontal direction in order of their selection by the user. 10 the drawing showing an example of a virtual matrix image Im menu and seen earlier images Ib boards, relevant content that is stored in the field of M storage selection sequence, an example of which is presented on fig.9. If the above procedure switch in the virtual matrix image Im menu is always located on the left end, and image Ib boards, relevant images Ic menu items, earlier by the user are placed in a horizontal direction in the order of selection of images Ic menu items the user. That is 10 image Iba Board, the corresponding program Ara, image Ibc Board, the corresponding program ARS, image Ibb Board, the corresponding program b, and the image Im menus are in this sequence from right to left according to the sequence of their selection by the user. When this is the case, when the user again selects an image Ic menu item in the image Im menu, image Ib Board corresponding to this menu item is displayed directly next to the image Im menu to the right. The operation of the slide in the direction to the right or left able to display each image allows intuitive command switch the image displayed in the field Ab display Board, perceived as a slip of the displayed image in the direction perform the specified operation.

For additional facilitate intuitive operation unit 22 display management Board when the image is displayed Ib Board in the field of Ab display Board displays together with the specified image Ib Board in the field of Ab display Board two representative image. In this case, the representative images are In the images representing other image Ib cards or image Im menu that will be displayed after the switch when switching the image is able to display an image Ib Board.

That is, block 22 display management Board displays the first representative image In1 elongated rectangular region Ab display boards along the right side of L2 screen S. the First representative image In1 is an image representing the image Ib Board, subject to reappear after the operation of the slide in the negative direction of the x axis Is the first representative image In1 can be part of the image Ib Board submitted the first representative image In1. In particular, can be left limit plot sending image Ib Board. In this case the block 22 display management Board defines the image Ib Board, subject to reappear after the operation of the slide in the negative direction of the X axis, due to content stored in the field of M storage selection sequence, and then cuts off the left end area of the image Ib Board. region is displayed in the field Ab display Board in the form of the first representative image In1. Instead of cutting directly image Ib Board, display elements in a software-Board, block 22 display management Board may expose Iw background image to be included in the image Ib Board, subject to reappear. The implementation of such process also allows you to display as the first representative image In1 part of the image Ib Board.

Similarly, block 22 display management Board displays the second representative image In2 elongated rectangular region Ab display boards along the left side of L3 screen S. the Second representative image In2 is an image representing a different image Ib Board or image Im menu, subject to reappear after the operation of the slide in the positive direction of the x axis. As the first representative image In1, the second representative image In2 can be part of the image Ib Board or image Im menu, submitted in the second representative image In2 (in particular the right limit plot represented the image). In this case the block 22 control the display of the card can display a second representative image In2 in the field of Ab display Board, as in the case of the first representative image In1 discussed above, by determining the image after switching and the further execution of the cutting process.

As mentioned above, the display of the representative of the image along the right side of the L2 or left side of L3, party merges with the upper side of the L1 and the bottom side L4 screen S (that is, the party along the direction in which the user performs an operation switching the image), device 10 information processing can direct the user to the image, the subject of the display after the operation switch the image. For example, in the case of storage in the field of M sequence of selecting the content shown on fig.9, and display in a region Ab display boards image Ibb Board for the program APb, block 22 display management Board displays an image that represents the image of the Ibc Board, and the image that represents the image Im menu, respectively, as a first representative image In1 and the second representative image In2. As a result, in the field of Ab image display boards, displays the image corresponding to the area of the rectangular shape, surrounded by 10 dash-dotted line that facilitates user visualization matrix virtually placed images in the form presented in Figure 10.

As in the case when the unit 22 display management Board displays the image Ib Board when the image is displayed Im menu block 21 control the display of the image menu can display the first representative image In1 representing the image Ib Board, corresponding to the image of Ic menu item is selected, the most recent, along the right side of L2 screen S.

In addition, if you display the image Ib, the corresponding program ID, saved the first of identity programs stored in the field of M storage selection sequence, along the right side L2 screen S instead of the first representative image In1 block 22 control the display of the card can also display a specific background image that gives the user a clearer view of the impossibility of performance of the switch image in the result of the operation of the slide in the negative direction of the X axis able to display this image Ib Board.

When the user performs an operation command scroll able to display the image Ib Board, block 25 scroll control manages scrolling in accordance with this operation. In particular, in this example the implementation of the direction of flow of commands scroll is the direction along the Y axis, and able to display the image Ib card user gives a command scroll by performing a slip in the positive direction of the Y axis, or in the negative direction of the y axis. In the event of receiving the command of the operation of the slide in the positive direction of the Y-axis block 25 scroll control enables you to move the window R with the object display in the program card In the negative direction of the Y axis, and in case of receiving the command of the operation of the slide in the negative direction of the Y-axis block 25 scroll control enables you to move the window R with the object display in the positive direction of the y axis. As a result, as in the case of operation switching the image, the user can scroll the displayed image, visually perceived as a slip of the image displayed in the field Ab display Board in the direction of the execution of the transaction slip. Use the scroll bar allows you to display on the screen's image illustrating the items to display in the program card In, not displayed when the first display the image Ib Board as an image related to the image Ib Board displayed first.

In addition, in response to the scroll from the user block 25 scroll control changes the amount of movement of the window R the display object, in accordance with the regulations of the window R with the object display in the programming Board Century In particular, in the example implementation in the case of display program card In the corresponding full-featured API program, block 25 scroll control changes the amount of movement of the window R with the object display in response to the scroll depending on whether a particular window program card in the window of R with a display object, or not. The specified window is a window that includes the region P1 information about the program. In this example, the implementation of the size of the area P1 information about the program coincides with the size of the field Ab display Board. Therefore, the length of the field P1 program information along the Y axis direction (i.e. direction of feed commands scroll) corresponds to the length of the window R with display object along the y axis direction.

In particular, in case of absence of the field P1 information about the program in the R with the object display unit 25 moves the scroll control window R with display object on the amount of movement, corresponding the amount of commands scroll. The value of the team scroll may correspond to the magnitude of the task performed by the user, such as distance movement of the user's finger on to receptive surface tactile sensor 15 when performing the operation of slip. In the variant of the invention, instead of or in addition to the largest operation of its value can be calculated by the velocity of motion or the force of pressure of the user's finger to the surface. In the variant of the invention this value can match the number of times the user completes the operation, which meets certain conditions. For example, in case, when the value of the team scroll is the distance moving finger the user when the operation sliding window R with display object moves in the programming Board In the amount of movement of the user's finger. At the same time, in the case of the submission of user commands scroll key to activate the field of P1 information about the program in a window R with the object display unit 25 moves the scroll control window R with the object display in the position where the entire area P1 information about the program is included in this window. As a result, upon completion of the command scroll window R with display object, always moves in one of the provisions in the situation, when the entire region P1 information about the programme in this window, or in a position in which the region P1 information about the program in the R is absent and it is the only region P2 communications, to prevent the possibility of the emergence of the window R with the object display in an intermediate position between the P1 information about the program and area P2 communications (i.e. the R with display object, including as part of the area P1 information about the program or a portion of region P2 communications). Here the appearance of the area P1 information about the program lets you display it on the screen's fully. Therefore, the implementation of such control scrolling allows to guarantee the appearance of the area P1 information about the program in accordance with the intention of the developer.

In addition, in the case of the submission of user commands scroll size, large enough to hold the field of P1 information about the program in a window R with display object in the ratio of reaching a certain value or more, block 25 scroll control can move the window to R with the object display in the position which this window includes the entire area of the P1 information about the program. In the case of the filing of the team scroll to the value that integrates the region P1 information about the program in a window R with display object in the ratio of not reaching a certain value, unit 25 scroll control does not perform the scroll control (i.e. it does not provide you move the window R with display object from the position before the filing team scroll).

After completion of the user operations and tear-off slip his finger from tactile sensor block 15 25 scroll control can determine the position of the window R with the object display after scrolling in accordance with the value of the transaction slip done until the separation of the user's finger, and manage the scroll, the result of which window R with display object moves in this particular situation. In the variant of the invention, even during an operation slip when the contact is saved user's finger with tactile sensor 15 management scrolling can be done so the window R with display object is moving in accordance with the movement of contact position of the user's finger. In this case, at the time of completion of submission of commands scroll (that is, at the time of separation of the user's finger from receptive surface tactile sensor 15) block 25 scroll control provides additional window move R the display object, in accordance with the regulations of the window R the display object, in this moment of time. That is, for example, in the state of reception of commands scroll (i.e. in a state of movement of the user's finger while maintaining contact with receptive surface tactile sensor 15) block 25 scroll control enables you to move the window R with display object on the amount of movement, corresponding the amount of commands scroll, regardless of the position of the window R with the object display. Then in the case when at the time of completion of submission of commands scroll ratio between the P1 information about the program in the R with display object and all of this window reaches a certain values or more (that is, in the case of the submission of user commands scroll to the value that integrates the region P1 information about the program in a window R with display object in the ratio of reaching a certain value or more), block 25 scroll control provides additional window move R the display object, in result of which the whole region P1 information about the program is included in this window. Therefore, user control gradual display area P1 information about the program on the screen's in the process of filing of the team scroll and a separation of the user's finger from receptive surface tactile sensor 15 at the time when most of the P1 information about the program is included in the scope Ab display Board can display the entire area P1 information about the program on the screen's without the command scroll size, large enough to hold the entire region P1 information about the program in this area. When this is the case when at the time of separation user's finger ratio between the P1 information about the program in the R with display object and all of this would never reaches a certain value, unit 25 scroll control ensures the return of the window R with the object display displaced in the process of filing of the team scroll to a position in which region P1 information about the program in the R with display object is not, therefore, can prevent the possibility of discontinuation scroll-able only partial containment area P1 information about the program in the region Ab display Board.

Additionally, in a condition in which the entire area P1 program information is displayed as an image Ib Board, even in case of receiving commands scroll key to activate the field P2 communications in the window R with the object display unit 25 scroll control can alter the way the scroll control depending on whether the command scroll of sufficient magnitude to include the field of P2 communications in the box R the display object in the ratio of reaching a certain value or more, or not. I.e., if you get a command to scroll the size enough to enable the region P2 communications in the box R the display object in the ratio of reaching a certain value or more, block 25 scroll control enables you to move the window R with the object display in the position where the region P1 information about the program in the R with display object, even absent (i.e. it is displayed only region P2 communications). At the same time, in case of receiving commands scroll to the value that integrates the region P2 communications in the box R the display object in the ratio of not reaching a certain value, unit 25 scroll control ensures the return of the window R with display object to its original position, one that displays only the area P1 information about the program.

First of all, suppose that in a state in which region P1 program information is displayed as an image Ib Board as shown in Fig.8, a user performs the slip in the positive direction of the y-axis At this time of contact of the user's finger with receptive surface box R the display object is moved in the program card In the negative direction of the Y-axis by an amount corresponding with the size of the moving finger the user. Therefore, as shown in Fig.11, in the field of Ab display Board, step by step starts to display the contents of the upper edge of the field P2 communications. If we assume that the specific value is 50 %, then in the state shown in fig.11, the contents of the P2 communications is displayed, it doesn't take the lower half of the field Ab display Board. Therefore, when you lift your finger user receives from the surface in this condition the window R with the object display returns to a location, coinciding with the area of P1 information about the program, and re-displays the image of the Ib Board, as shown in Fig.8. The further movement of the user's finger in the positive direction of the Y axis of the status shown on fig.11, gives rise to a state under which, as shown in Fig.11, region P2 communications occupies more than half of the area of Ab display Board. In case, when the user lifts his finger from receptive surface to complete the filing of the team in this state, block 25 scroll control provides a further shift of the window R with the object display in the position where the region P1 program information in this box. In the result, shown in fig.1І, in the field of Ab display card is displayed upper boundary area on the P2 communications.

In case of continuation of the user completes the operation of the slide in the positive direction of the Y-axis block 25 scroll control enables you to move the window R with a display object, the amount corresponding to the largest operation slip (that is, the magnitude of movement of the user's finger on to receptive surface). Therefore, the user has the opportunity to freely view the information contained below in the programming Board Century Fig.11D illustrates the process control scrolling by performing a slip in the field of P2 communications.

In case, when the user performs an operation slip by moving your finger in a negative direction of the Y axis in the condition shown in Fig.11, while maintaining contact between the user's finger and receptive surface box R the display object moves in the positive direction of the Y axis, and at the bottom of the Ab display Board, as shown in fig.11, step-by-step begins to display the contents of the P1 information about the program. The separation of the user's finger from receptive surface in this condition, where the ratio between the P1 information about the program in the R with display object and all of this window does not reach 50 % or more, will return to display an image on the screen's in the state shown in fig.11. And during the continuation of slip user's finger in the negative direction of the Y-axis to the one shown in Fig.11F status display the contents of the field P1 information about the program in the field of Ab display Board and the subsequent separation of the user's finger from receptive surface, window R with the object display continues to move in a positive direction of the Y axis, and the whole area P1 information about the program of re-appears in the Ab display Board, as shown in Fig.8.

Thus in these cases the area P1 information about the program is one single area, and the implementation of the scroll control leads to the occurrence of the condition in which all this isolated region is displayed in the field Ab display the card or does not appear in the Ab display Board at all. However, software fee may include the number of individual regions, in turn become the objects of management. And in this case, when new commands scroll to the inclusion of the window, which is a part of any of the individual regions in the window R with the object display, block 25 scroll control can provide moving a window R the display object where the whole unit area is included in the box R the display object. Therefore, you control the scrolling allows you to reach a state in which any of the individual areas is displayed in the Ab display the charges completely, or state in which any of the individual areas is not displayed in the Ab display Board at all, which helps prevent the possibility of ending the scroll-able only partial display of any single region in the field of Ab display Board. The single region in this case, is an area of this size, that, at least, its length along the direction of the filing of the team scroll (along the Y axis direction) corresponds to the length of the window R with display object along the y axis direction.

In the variant of the invention in case of receiving commands scroll quantity, sufficient for inclusion in the window R with a display object, the position of the borders of many subdomains program card In, block 25 scroll control can provide moving a window R with display object on the amount of movement, determined in accordance with the relation between the position of these boundaries and position of the window R with the object display after moving the amount corresponding to the specified largest commands scroll. That is, in case of receiving commands scroll to the amount of movement, sufficient to enable the position of the boundary in a certain area of the window, R with the object display (for example, in the area near the center of the bloc of 25 scroll control can ensure the continued move a window, R with display object, to achieve a state in which the position of the border will be outside this specific area of the window. It is also possible to move the window R with the object display to match the position of the boundary with the border of the window R with the object display. Management scrolling in accordance with the above isolated areas also ensures alignment of the position of the boundary between the P1 information about the program and area P2 communications with the border of the window R with the object display. In the variant of the invention block 25 scroll control can provide moving a window R with the object display in the condition in which the position of the border shifted towards the center of the window, R with display object at a certain distance from the border of the window, R with the object display. In this case, the R with the object display shows only marginal parts of the neighboring sub-regions near the border between these .

In this case, as shown in Fig.11-11F, in this example the implementation of the objects of control scrolling with block 25 scroll control are the only elements of the display are placed in the program card In, and Iw background image object scroll control is not. Thus, even in the case of scroll the image displayed in the field Ab display card using block 25 scroll control the display position of the background image Iw't change in case of switching the image Ib Board as a result of execution of the above transactions switch allows you to facilitate render the image after the switch, as described below.

The window of initial display in the programming Board In the composition of the image Ib Board displayed when the operation switch the video image may be in a fixed position (below called window, the default), for example the window on the top edge program card In (region P1 information about the program in case of a full-featured API program). Fig.12 illustrates an example of the screen's image Ib Board displayed in the result of the operation switching the image in this case. This drawing shows an example of the display in case of execution of the operation, switching the image, providing job positive direction of the X axis, able to store data on fig.9, in the field of M storage sequence select and display the image Ib Board illustrating the kind of program card In the corresponding program Ara. In this case, even when the operation switch the video image is able to display an image Ib Board to illustrate the appearance of the P1 information about the program, shown, for example, on Fig.8, or when performing the operation toggle image display state image Ib Board to illustrate the appearance of the P2 communications shown in Fig.11, block 22 display management Board displays on the screen S, as shown in Fig.12, image Ib Board illustrating the view in the window, the default (here in the field of P1 information about the program), program card In the corresponding program ARS. In other words, regardless of the window in the program card In the corresponding program Ara, displayed on the screen S, switching the image will display as an image Ib cards of the same plot in the program card In the corresponding program ARS.

In the case when the image illustrating the view in the program card In and subject to reappear display and previously as the image Ib Board, window primary display after the operation switching the image can represent a window of the program Board, the latest. In this case, when the operation switch the video image block 24 switching images saves window position R with the object display in the program card In, directly before switching the image. Thus, when the operation switch the video image as an object of re-display as an image Ib Board is selected this program card, picture card Ib is generated on the basis of this saved window positions, R with the object display.

In the variant of the invention window of initial display may be determined in accordance with in the program card In, to perform the operation switch the image. In this example implementation for any full-featured API program program card In the corresponding full-featured API program, which includes two sub-region: region P1 information about the program; and region P2 communications. Therefore, in case of execution of the operation switch the video image, for example, with images Ibc Board illustrating the type of programmatic Board Aircraft program ARS, image Ibb Board illustrating the kind of program card b program b, subject to the display area P1c program information program card Su directly before the operation switching the image area is displayed 1b program information program card b, which is the PIc of information about the program (here is the subregion, including the kind of information provided as and region P1c information about the programme). In case of display directly before the operation switching the image area 2 communications program card armed forces after the operation switch the video image is displayed top marginal window 2 communications program card Bb, which is the 2 communications. It provides an opportunity to facilitate the display of the sub-regions, which display information of the same kind, as a result of switching the many software boards, which are the objects of the operation switch the image. Thus in this example, the implementation of the program fee includes two subdomains. However, the present invention of this option is not limited and each of the many software boards may include a number of relevant one to the other sub-display which can be carried out by the switchover.

Here is a way to determine the window primary display after the operation switching the image may vary in accordance with the team, the preliminary submitted by the user. For example, device 10 information processing can ask the user to choose in the window as the primary display after switching the image window, the default window program card In, the last, or the window determined in accordance with another program card In, directly before switching the image.

Block 26 display symbol displays on the screen S a certain number of symbolic image Is. Here the number of symbolic image Is displayed with the block 26 display symbol images, can be a number, corresponding to the upper limit of images, which are the objects of switching using the 24 switching images. In this example, the implementation, as described above, the upper limit of the N identifiers programs, stored in the field of M storage selection sequence is 7, and in accordance with this at the most seven images Ib boards become the objects of the switch using the 24 switching images. Therefore, block 26 display symbol displays, at least seven symbolic images. In addition, from these symbolic image Is symbolic image Is, the number of which coincides with the number of images Ib boards, which are the objects of switching using the 24 switching images are displayed in a different character images Is the form. So, in case when, for example, the information on fig.9 is stored in the field of M storage area selection sequence, the objects switch with block 24 switching images become three images Ib boards. Therefore, block 26 display symbol displays three symbolic image Is different from the other four symbolic image form. There are three character image Is are symbolic images, corresponding to the three images Ib boards (below referred to the appropriate symbolic images Isb boards, which are objects switch with block 24 switching images, and the other four symbolic image Is are symbolic images, not the primitive Ib boards (below called inappropriate symbolic images Isn). Such a display of symbolic images gives the user an idea about how many images Ib boards currently are objects of the switch using the 24 switching the image and how many images Ib boards can be added to objects switch with block 24 switching images before reaching the upper limit of the N (=7). For example, in the case of display four inappropriate character of the images Isn objects to switch the video image can be added the additional four images Ib boards. As mentioned above, in the case of an attempt to save the ID of the new program stored in the field of M storage selection sequence identifiers programs number, equal to the upper limit N, M storage sequence delete the selection program ID, saved first. The resulting image Ib Board, the corresponding remote ID program, is excluded from objects switch with block 24 switching images. Therefore, the ability of a user to select a new picture Ic menu item while controlling symbolic image Is allows you to prevent unintended exclusion seen previously images Ib boards of objects switch with block 24 switching images.

The matching symbolic image Isb boards can be images, represent corresponding image Ib boards. In this case, each corresponding character image Isb Board is displayed in a manner different not only from inadequate character of the images Isn but also from other relevant symbolic images Isb boards. In a variant of the invention, each corresponding character image Isb card can be displayed in the same manner as other matching symbolic image Isb boards. In addition, every inadequate symbolic image Isn can be displayed in the same manner as other inappropriate character image Isn. In this example, the implementation and the image Im menu is the object of the switch using the 24 switching images. Therefore, block 26 display symbol images can also display the symbolic image Is the image Im menu (below called appropriate symbolic image Is menu). In this case the block 26 display symbol displays simultaneously eight character image Is. In this case the corresponding symbolic image Ism menu is displayed in a manner different, at least from inadequate character of the images Isn. Furthermore, the appropriate symbolic image Ism menu can be unique image representing the image Im menu, and the image displayed in a manner different from the corresponding character images Isb boards. In the variant of the invention appropriate symbolic image Ism menu can be displayed as a variety of images, which are the objects of switching using the 24 switching images in the same way as the corresponding character image Isb boards.

In this example, the implementation, as mentioned above, in the field As to display the status bar is displayed eight character images. In case of display of symbolic image Is attached images Ib boards and image Im menu on the screen symbolic image Is the image Ib Board or image Im menu, the currently displayed on the screen S, can be displayed in a different form. In other words, block 26 display symbol images can change appearance of every picture of the many symbolic images Isb boards and corresponding character image Ism menu display or don't see the image Im menu or image Ib Board in the field of Ab display Board, and therefore display the symbolic image Is corresponding to the displayed image Ib Board or image Im menu, in a different form. That is, for example, block 26 display symbol image resize, or brightness, of the symbolic image Is corresponding to the displayed image, or adds a certain image (for example, a picture frame, indicating the conformity of the displayed image, and thus displays the symbolic image Is corresponding to the displayed image in a different form. As a result of viewing symbolic image Is allows the user to get an idea about the virtual mutual position of the image displayed in real time, and other images, which are the objects of switching.

As an example, figure 5 shows the display symbol image Is in the case when the screen displays the image Im menu and still does not display a single image Ib Board (with no one image Ib Board, which is the subject of switching using the 24 switching images). In this case, only the symbolic image Is located on the left edge, if look from the side of the user, the image Im menu, is displayed in the form indicating the conformity of the image displayed in the present (with honors, such as color or form from other character images Is). At the same time, the remaining seven symbolic image Is displayed, indicating a mismatch image Im menu or image Ib card (for example, displayed in a certain color). And on Fig.8 shows the display symbol image Is in the case when the screen of the currently displayed image only Ib Board, is the object of the switch. Here is the second character to the left image Is the image Ib Board, the currently displayed, shown in a different character images Is the form, and the symbolic image Is at the left edge of the image Im menu, being object of switching using the 24 switching images also appear in a different six symbolic image Is the form (from inadequate character of the images Isn which do not conform to any images).

Fig.12 illustrates an example of the kind of display of symbolic image Is in the case when the information on fig.9 is stored in the field of M storage selection sequence, and the image of the Ibc Board, the corresponding program ARS, is shown in the Ab display Board. In this case, as in the example Fig.8, third from the left symbolic image corresponding to the image of the Ibc Board, the currently displayed, shown in a different character images form and three character image Is matching the other three images are objects switch with block 24 switching images (that is, the image Im menu, image Ibb Board and the image of the Iba Board), also displayed is different from the other four symbolic image Is the form. As a result of viewing symbolic image Is allows the user to get an idea about the possibility of adding additional four images to objects switch with block 24 switching images and display the image Im menu at the expense of additional perform this operation switching the image in the negative direction of X-axis and the double repetition operation switching the image in the positive direction of the x axis.

Fig.13 illustrates an example of displaying a character image Is different from the display in a region As display the status discussed above. In the example, this drawing, change the displayed content in accordance with a particular transaction, carried out by the user (for example, with the operation pressing the button 16 management), block 26 display symbol image blurs the image Ib Board or image Im menu that appeared in the field of Ab display Board before, and displays in the pane Ab display Board in a total of eight character image Is. In the example, this drawing, the symbolic image Is representing a rectangular area, passing along the Y axis direction, placed along the direction of the x axis Of these symbolic images Is matching symbolic image Isb cards comply with images Ib boards, which are the objects of the switch using the 24 switching images, include specific images to images Ib boards that coincide with symbolic images Isb boards. That is, in the example, Fig.13, matching symbolic image Isb boards include image Ic menu items corresponding application programs AR. In addition, the matching symbolic image Isb boards include parts of the Iw background images included in the image Ib boards as their background images. Thus instead of Iw background images matching symbolic image Isb boards may include parts of the related images Ib boards. In addition, each of the symbolic image Isb boards include the picture Ip button. Picture Ip button is an image, indicating the presence or neznahodzhennya image Ib Board corresponding to the corresponding symbol image Isb Board in a state ban on off display, which is described below. Each of the four inappropriate character of the images Isn't right, that do not conform to any images Ib boards, which are the objects of the switch include image empty circle, pointing to the incorrect character image Isn. The background image into non-symbolic images Isn can be certain picture, a default. With appropriate symbolic image Ism menu at the left edge of the image Im menu has no related images Ic menu items, and so is simply part of the background image in the image Im menu.

Thus in the example of the display of symbolic image Is shown on the Fig.13, as a result of touching the display position of each character image Is user can submit a command to switch the image. In this case in the area of Ab display the card displays the image of the Im menu or image Ib Board, corresponding to a symbolic image Is, the display position touched by the user. In addition, when the user brings his finger in contact with the position of the display of any of the symbolic image Is, plot display this character image Is temporarily extended as compared with other symbolic images Is, that provides the ability to control the broader phase, for example Iw background image. In the case of movement of the user's finger on to receptive surface in this state there is a consistent move the focus to the symbolic image Is containing the previous situation, in which moved a finger, that provides possibility of expansion with character display image Is located in focus. In case when the device is 10 information processing according to the considered example implementation is provided with navigation keys, such as arrow keys to select the character image Is can be done using the navigation keys. In this case, by control of the navigation keys the user switches the focus to a character image Is and selects the image Im menu or image Ib Board, subject to the display. In this example, at transition from a state at which to date display image Im menu or image Ib card to the screen displaying in response to a command from the user symbolic image Is, these symbolic image Is can be displayed in a state in which the symbolic image Is the image Im menu or image Ib Board that was displayed before that is in focus.

In addition, when the user manipulates a certain element in the image Ib Board is able to display an image Ib Board, block 27 activation programs can perform the activation process the application program AR, corresponding to this element of the display. For example, in the field of P1 information about the program on the program card In the corresponding full-featured API program may be posted by an image that represents a reference to a web page showing the information related to the full-featured API program. In case, when a user performs the touch of such images representing a reference, block 27 activate the software activates the program-browser and enters this program browser information (e.g., URL)of the corresponding image in the position of the touch screen, for example, as of activation parameters. The result is the generation of a new image Ib Board, representing the result of processing program browser that appears in the Ab display Board.

In the case of the filing of the team activation program other than from the application of the AR, the corresponding image Ib Board, able to display image Board Ib, as mentioned above, block 23 control selection sequence can control the identifier of the program activated in response to such an activation command for compliance program ID, corresponding to the previous image Ib Board. As a concrete example, suppose able to display the image Ib Board for the program Ara, in response to a command from the user activates a new program of APb. In this case the block 23 control selection sequence stores information on the conformity of the parent images, which are respectively the image Ib Board corresponding to the Ara program, called the previous picture (parent image, and the image Ib Board corresponding to the Ara program, called the subsequent image (a picture). As mentioned above, in the case of attempts to display the image Ib cards, the number of which exceeds the upper limit of N, block 23 control selection sequence removes some of the identifiers programs, defined on the basis of certain conditions. Similarly, in the case when the user performs an operation, turn off the display, described below, block 23 control selection sequence deletes the program ID of the image Ib Board who has been the focus of the operation disable the display. However, due to information on the conformity of the parent image block 23 control selection sequence may impose and deletion of a certain identifier of the program. That is, for example, even in the case when an identifier for a program, a subsidiary image satisfies the condition offered to the object removal, in case, when the program ID of the corresponding image Ib Board, the relevant subsidiary image as the parent image, still remains in the field of M storage selection sequence, instead of deleting the program ID of the relevant subsidiary image block 23 control selection sequence can choose the object to remove from other identifiers programs. And Vice versa, even when the program ID corresponding to a parent image satisfies the condition offered to the object removal, in case, when the program ID of the corresponding image Ib Board, a subsidiary of the image of the parent image, not deleted, instead of deleting the program ID of the corresponding parent image, block 23 control selection sequence can choose the object to remove from other identifiers programs.

At the same time, the number of images Ib boards, which are the objects of switching using the 24 switching images that may include a image, disable the display of the user wants. Picture Ib card user can perform the operation of imposing a ban on off the display of the image Ib Board, allowing to prevent or hide in the case of incorrect execution of user-specified above operations off the display or the user to select an image Ic menu items number that exceeds a certain upper limit N. That is, if user a specific command to ban off the display of the block 22 control the display boards passes into a state ban on off image display Ib Board, was a subject of this operation. Thus, in response to a request from the unit 22 control the display boards block 23 control selection sequence updates the value of the flag ban on off display, the corresponding program ID, corresponding to the image Ib Board who has been the focus of the operation, up to a value indicating the ban on off display. After that, even in the case of income shutdown commands display the image Ib Board of the process of switching off the display unit 22 control the display boards does not. In addition, if you select a new image Ic menu items stored in the field of M storage selection sequence identifiers programs number equal to the upper limit of N, block 23 control selection sequence specifies the ID of programmes that have a value flag of the ban on off display, indicating the absence of a ban on off display, program ID, saved in the field of M storage selection sequence the first, and remove this program ID of the field M storage selection sequence. As a specific example, in the case of selecting a new image Ic menu items stored in the field of M storage selection sequence of the information provided on fig.9 of identity programs, stored in the field of M storage selection sequence, the ID of the program (ARS), which is stored in the field of M storage selection sequence the first, is equipped with a flag value that indicates whether the ban on off display, and so turn off the display of images Ibc for the program ARS. Instead, you delete the program b representing the ID of the program that is stored in the field of M storage area selection sequence for the following program ARS.

The operation disable the display represents the operation of the first job directions relative to a specific area of the AU object operations able to display the image Ib Board, which is the subject-operation in the field of Ab display Board. That is, in this example, the implementation of the operation disable the display of the operation of slip for setting the direction of diagonally down left relative to the Speaker of the object operation, located in the upper-right corner of the Ab display card (that is, the direction of the field AC object toward the center of the screen S). In addition, the operation disable the display of the operation of slip from one point in the field of AC object operations as initial position to a position outside the scope of the Speaker of the object operation.

The operation is also a ban on off display is an operation tasks of the second a different direction than the first direction, a direction specify the action to turn off the display, relative to the same area of the Speaker of the object operation in operation, turn off the display, able to display the image Ib Board, which is the subject-operation in the field of Ab display Board. That is, in this example, the implementation of the operation of a ban on off display is a transaction slip for setting the direction of diagonal up-right, which is the opposite direction of the job off operation display, relative to the Speaker of the object operation. In addition, the operation of a ban on off display of an operation slip of provisions outside the scope of the Speaker of the object in one spot in the AU object operations as of the end position.

As mentioned above, the operations of switching off the display and a ban on off display of operations are setting the direction relative to the same area of the Speaker of the object operation, which allows the user to get an idea on the conformity of the operations off the display and a ban on off display of one another. In addition, these operations are job opposite directions, and one of the operations is performed from the start position in the field of AC object operation, and another operation is performed in end position in the field of AC object surgery to avoid incorrect implementation of one operation instead of the other, despite the fact that the operations are performed relative to the same area of the Speaker of the object operation. Thus in the above description, operation, turn off the display is run from the start position in the field of AC object operation, and the operation of a ban on off display - from the initial position outside the scope of the Speaker of the object operation. However, each of operations can be performed from the same point in the field of AC object operations in the initial position.

As mentioned above, in the screen's image is displayed Ig for guidance on provision of execution of the operation, which allows the user to easily get an idea about the position of the region AU object. In addition, in this example, the implementation of the image of Ig for guidance on provision of execution of the operation is an image that illustrates the view of background image Iw able the upper-right corner of the region Ab display card in a downward direction-to the left (i.e. in the direction of the job off operation display). Therefore, you can make off the display of the image Ib Board in the result of the operation slip to scroll the view S of this provision, as in the case of removal Iw background-image screen S. In this case, as shown in Fig.11-11F and such drawings, even if you move the plot R a display object using the block 25 scroll control the position of the image Ig for guidance on the provision of the operation and the region AU object on the screen's not changed. Therefore, regardless of the state of scrolling, the user can complete the operation disable the display on this area AU object operations at any time and to provide off the display of the image Ib Board. Regardless of the status of the scroll is not changed and the display position Iw background image in the image Ib Board that allows the user to avoid difficulties, even at invariability of the position of the image Ig for guidance on the provision of the operation.

In the case of determining the start of the user off operation display unit 22 control the display boards can display the screen's image Ig2 operation that indicates the start of this operation. When, after the image display Ig2 operation the user continues the operation of the slide in the direction of down-left, block 22 control the display boards can turn off the display of a displayed image Ib Board. In the specific example when the user performs an operation slip into a downward direction-to the left of the start position in the field of AC operation instance, block 22 control the display boards displays the image Ig2 operation with the gradual change in accordance with the magnitude of the movements of the user's finger in the process of sliding in contact with receptive surface tactile sensor 15. Then, in accordance with the movement of the user's finger to slip, at the time of separation unit 22 control the display boards makes a decision about the performance or nonperformance of the process of switching off the display of the image Ib Board. That is, block 22 control the display boards decide whether to satisfy or not satisfy the movement of the user's finger to slip certain conditions, and in case of positive decision off the display of images Ib Board. For example, if moving to slip exceeds a certain threshold, the unit 22 control the display boards decides on the termination of the operation and off and off the display of a displayed image Ib Board. If moving to slip, does not exceed a certain threshold, block 22 control the display boards makes a decision about not completing the operation, turn off the display and re-displays the original image Ig for guidance on the provision of the operation. In the variant of the invention in the case when the distance between the point of end position, achieved as a result of slipping out of the start position in the field of AC object operation, and control point in the field of AC object operations (for example, point corresponding to the upper-right corner of the field Ab display Board) reaches a certain value or exceeds this amount, unit 22 control the display Board can take a decision on the conditions for the operation to finish off the display. Therefore, in the case of erroneous the operation disable the display of the user receives the opportunity to learn about the message to complete the operation disable the display. Therefore, if the user cancels the transaction slip directly at the stage of image display Ig2 operation, the operation disable the display can be stopped. In this picture, Ig2 operation can be obtained in the result of changes in image Ig for guidance on the provision of the operation. In Figure 14 the drawing illustrating the progress disable the display. In the example, this drawing, as the image Ig2 operation shows the image on which area of the inverted plot Iw background image exceeds the size of the image Ig for guidance on the provision of the operation. During the continuation of the user operations slip update this image Ig2 operation may lead to a further increase in the area of the inverted plot Iw background image in accordance with the movement of the user's finger to slip, that, therefore, allows a user to intuition about the progress disable the display.

Below is a description of the process of processing performed device 10 information processing in case of a repeated the user to select an image Ic menu item corresponding to the image Ib Board selected by the user previously, and, therefore, is the subject of the switch using the 24 switching images, able to display the image Im menu. In this case the block 22 control the display boards provides redisplay the image Ib Board, corresponding to the selected photo Ic menu item, in the field of Ab display Board. And the block 23 control selection sequence rebuilds the sequence of the identifiers of the program in the field of M storage selection sequence so that the ID of the application program AR corresponding to the selected image Ic menu item becomes the application program AR selected last. For example, suppose that in a state in which the information on fig.9 is stored in the field of M storage selection sequence, the user initiates the display of the image Im menu and selects the image Ic menu item, representing the Ara program. In this case, the contents of the data to be preserved in the field of M storage selection sequence, updated to the content shown on Fig.18. The virtual matrix image Im menus and images Ib cards, shown in Figure 10, is changed and acquires the form presented in Fig.19. So when the user performs an operation slip in the positive direction of X axis is able to display an image of the Iba Board for the program Ara, is re-displays the image Im menu. In case, when in the image display Iba Board user performs the slip in the negative direction of the X axis, is re-displays the image Ibb Board for the program b.

In the case of the simultaneous display of symbolic image Is representing the image Ib cards, the screen's able to display the image Im menu or image Ib boards along with the update sequence of identifiers of the programs stored in the field of M storage selection sequence described above, it is possible and update sequence placement of symbolic image Is displayed on the screen S. As mentioned above, each corresponding character image Isb card can be a picture different from other images Ib boards representing the relevant image Ib boards. On Fig.20 the drawing, illustration display the corresponding character images Isb boards in the case of storage in the field of M storage selection sequence of the information provided on fig.9. The example in this drawing illustrates the state of the display image Im menu in the field of Ab display boards and symbolic images Is representing the image Im menu and three image Ib cards are now the objects of switching the image with block 24 switching images, in the field As to display the status bar. And of the four symbolic image Is displayed in the field As to display the status bar, the picture house on the left end is the appropriate symbolic image of the Ism menu. The right of the relevant character image Ism menu in sequence are three relevant symbolic image Isb boards - image Ibb Board, image Ibc Board and the image of the Iba Board. Thus in the example shown in this drawing symbolic image Is representing the image displayed now in the field of Ab display card (here is a picture Im menu), may be allocated by displaying the character image Is to brightness, above the brightness of the display other character image Is, or the addition of a character image Is an image frame, enable displaying the displayed character image Is different from the other character image Is not displayed now in the field of Ab display Board.

The above version of the user executes the command setting the direction of using tactile sensor, but it is possible to set the direction on the device 10 information processing and various other control devices. In particular, for example, a user may set the direction by dragging with the mouse or the manipulation of the mouse wheel or by pressing navigation keys, such as arrow pad. In case of setting the direction by manipulating the mouse wheel, with the cursor keys or with the help of such management bodies of the ratio between the direction specified by a user, and the direction of the scrolling or the switching direction of the image may be opposite to the case, the operation slip in tactile sensor or a drag operation using the mouse. This is because, as a rule, in case of execution of the transaction slip or a drag operation using the mouse the user when setting the direction of the feeling of moving image that is displayed on the screen, S, and in case of manipulations with the cursor keys or similar elements - a sense of movement of the point of observation relative to the image.

In addition, when you display a scrollbar device 10 information processing can perceive an operation performed by the user on the scroll bar using the tactile sensor or mouse as a scroll for setting the direction. In this case, the device 10 information processing displays the operation object that represents echoed in the present time the region (i.e. the position of the R a display object) on the scroll bar running along the direction of the scroll. The user can perform an operation scroll by performing a slip in the tactile sensor 15 of the provisions of the display object as the initial or by dragging the object operation using the mouse.

In addition, in the above description, operation switching the image is operation setting the direction along the X axis, and the scroll - operation setting the direction along the Y axis direction, but there is another option in the directions. In particular, it is possible, for example, reassigning asked directions switch the video image between the operation and the operation of the scroll.

The description above for the number of images, which are the objects of switching using the 24 switching images, is limited to a certain upper limit of the N or lesser value, as in the case when the unit 22 control the display boards sets new image Ib Board as a display object, the image specified by the first by a block of 22 control the display boards as a display object is removed from the display objects. However, the regulation of the upper limit of the images, which are the objects of switching using the 24 switching images, can be done in another way. For example, in case the user selects a new image Ic menu item in a state in which the image Ic number of cards equal to the upper limit of N, previously were objects of switching unit 22 control the display Board can disable the display of the new image Ib Board that is matched to the new image Ic menu item.

In addition, in the above description, images that are subject to switch with block 24 switching images, include one image Im menu and a lot of the images Ib cards corresponding to the relevant programs, but the block 24 switching images can set the objects switching and other images. For example, a block of 24 switching images can routinely include in the number of objects switching a certain constant image. In the above description, in case of execution of the operation, switching the image in the negative direction of the X-axis of the image display state Im menu, which is consistent display of multiple images Ib cards, and in case of execution of the transaction slip in the positive direction of X axis is able to display an image Im switching menu of the image occurs. Therefore, when you perform an operation slip in the positive direction of X axis is able to display an image Im menu this persistent image may be displayed on the screen S.

In the variant of the invention block 24 switching images can display a constant image is able to display the image Im menu and the execution of the operation switching the image is not in the positive direction of X-axis and in the negative direction of the x axis. In this example, when the operation switch the video image in the positive direction of the X axis in a state of permanent display of the image is re-displays the image Im menu, and when the operation switch the video image in the negative direction of the X axis in a state of permanent display image displays the image of the Ib Board, corresponding to the image of Ic menu item the user selected the latest. If the operation switching the image in the positive direction of X axis is able to display an image Ib Board, the corresponding image Ic menu item the user selected the latest displays a permanent image. In the case of operation switch the video image between the image Ib switch boards multiple images Ib boards to display the selection sequence of images Ib cards user, as in the examples considered above, occurs each time you perform an operation switch the image. As a result of the visualization of the virtual matrix shown in Figure 10, the user of this matrix takes the form of a fixed image on the right, next to the picture Im menu. Therefore, even in case if the operation switching the image in the positive direction of X axis is able to display an image Ib Board, the corresponding image Ic menu item the user selected the latest, direct re-display the image Im menu does not occur, and the first displays a permanent image. To redisplay the image Im menu occurs after retry the operation, switching the image in the same positive direction of the axis X. However, in this example, as in the examples considered above, the state of the display image Ib Board, the corresponding image Ic menu item the user selected the most recent, is a condition in which the re-display the image Im menu can be done with the least number of transactions, and process re-display the image Im menu in the result of the operation switch image able to display the image Ib fee corresponding to a different image Ic menu item selected by the user always passes through the image display state Ib Board, the corresponding image Ic menu item the user selected the latest. The constant image here can be, for example, the image to display information or such image provided by the device vendor to 10 information processing.

In the description above application programs AR, being in this example, the implementation of the objects of display relevant images are programs from among full-featured API programmes and lightweight AP2, but possible option and other programs. In addition, the applied program AR, being in this example, the implementation of the objects of display relevant images can only be used for lightweight program AP2. In this case, when submitting user commands for selecting the image Ic menu item in the status display image Im menu there is a consecutive activation lightweight AP2, the corresponding image Ic menu item selected by the user, and the image display, illustrating the results of the processing as image Ib Board. In this case, in accordance with a computer resource, such as memory available on your device 10 information processing, or similar device, the number of lightweight AP2 with possibility of simultaneous activation is limited to a certain upper limit N2 or lesser value. In this case, as in the example of a character image Is as shown in Fig.13, displayed in accordance with the upper limit of N images, which are the objects of switching using the 24 switching images, block 26 display symbol images can display the S character image Is a number, equal to a certain upper limit N2. Display of symbolic images Is the number equal to the number of previously lightweight AP2, in a different character images Is the form at this time allows the user to get on these symbolic images Is more clear indication of the number of activated currently lightweight AP2 and lightweight AP2, which can be activated.

Thus in the present case, when activating a new lightweight program AP2 in the state of activation lightweight AP2 integer that corresponds to the upper limit N2, it can be forced termination of the program execution activated the first activated lightweight AP2, and device 10 information processing can limit the number of endowed programs AP2-activated simultaneously, the upper limit N2 or lesser value. In the variant of the invention device 10 information processing can save for each of the activated lightweight AP2 time of the most recent user accessing this simplified program AP2 and in the case of the filing of the team activation lightweight AP2 number of exceeding the upper limit N2, may enforce compulsory for completion of the program with the greatest length of time since the last reference to it. Thus in these cases, before a forced completion of the program execution activated the first, or programs with the greatest length of time from the time of the last access to device 10 information processing can generate a message to confirm or not confirm the completion of compulsory execution of the program, for example, by displaying it on the screen S. And then if the answer is positive user on this message, which allows for forced termination of the program execution in accordance with this response is forced termination of the program execution. In the case of a negative answer user to forcibly terminate the program execution is canceled, and the activation of the newly activated lightweight program AP2, on the contrary, is prohibited. In a variant of the invention where, lightweight program AP2 integer that corresponds to the upper limit N2, previously activated, the activation of the new lightweight program AP2 necessarily prohibited, and the device 10 information processing can limit the number of lightweight AP2-activated simultaneously, the upper limit N2 or lesser value.

Fig.16 illustrates the process of fulfillment of the user operations slip in a certain direction (here in the upward direction) relative to the display area of the displayed character image Isc. Enabled browser bookmarks accept such operations slip in a certain direction as the operation off the display and completes the display of a displayed image page. Fig.16 illustrates the display example, having performed so off operation display. In this example, as a result of switching off the display image page, corresponding mapped to a symbolic image of the Isc, the number of inappropriate character of the images Isn increases by one, and the image of the page corresponding to the corresponding symbol image Isp page, near to this symbolic image of the Isc, again appears in the display image page. The displayed character image Isc acts as the object operation, turn off the display, and one of the other relevant symbolic images Isp page can act as the object of such an operation disable the display. In the present case, the display in the display area of the symbolic image page does not change, but the image of the page corresponding to the appropriate symbolic image Isp pages, which has been the focus of the operation is excluded from objects to switch tabs.

Fig.17 illustrates the on-screen display, such as that shown in Fig.16, the process of executing the operation of the slide in the direction (here in a downward direction), opposite to the direction of run-off operation display, relative to the viewport displayed character image Isc. Enabled browser bookmarks accept such an operation slip in a different direction from the direction of run-off operation display, as an imposition of the ban on off display and enters the ban on off display displayed image page. Fig.17 illustrates the state after the operation of a ban on the phone to show where in the displayed character image Isc is displayed image button Ip, indicating the ban on off the display of the image page corresponding to this symbolic image. The operation of a ban on off display is also possible not only displayed character image Isc, but one other appropriate symbolic images Isp pages. In addition, in this example the operation off the display and operation of a ban on off display of the character images are operations slip, at which the user moves his or her finger on the receptive surface tactile sensor placed so that overlaps the screen display.
