Abstract:
1. A display processing apparatus comprising: a display configured to display a first designator to be displayed as a first image, and configured such that, when an object approaches close to or contacts with an arbitrary position on the display, an electrical change occurs at the arbitrary position of the display; a display control unit configured to control the display to display the first designator; a detection unit configured to determine an inputted position of the display by detecting the electrical change at the arbitrary position of the display; a first memory which stores the first image of the first designator, a display position of the first designator, and processing indicated by the first designator, in relation to one another; a processing performing unit configured to determine a selected designator based on whether a range of the first designator stored in the first memory and displayed on the display includes the inputted position of the display determined by the detection unit, and configured to perform the processing indicated by the selected designator; a judging unit configured to judge whether or not the inputted position determined by the detection unit is included in a direction selecting portion of the display, a display direction memory storing a first display direction in which the first designator is displayed by the display control unit, wherein, when the judging unit judges that the inputted position determined by the detection unit is included in one of the plurality of direction selecting ranges corresponding to a second display direction different from the first display direction in which the first designator is displayed, the display control unit changes the first display direction of the first designator to the second display direction, and wherein, when the display control unit switches a current screen to a next screen to display on the display, the next screen includes a second designator configured to be displayed as a second image, and the display control unit displays the second designator of the next screen in the second display direction.
