Abstract:
1. A display control apparatus controls a plurality of buttons displayed on a screen of a display unit, the apparatus comprising: a detection unit detecting a contact position on an input plate, wherein the input plate is touched by a fingertip of a user; a position calculation unit calculating a position of a pointer on the screen, as a pointer position, the pointer position corresponding to the contact position detected by the detection unit; a button selection unit selecting one button, as a desired button, from among the plurality of buttons on the screen based on the pointer position; a selected button display control unit displaying the desired button on the screen in a display mode different from the buttons not selected; and the position correction unit prohibits the correction of the current pointer position when the pointer position is not within the specific range; a low speed determination unit determining whether a fingertip operation speed is less than a preset value based on the contact position detected by the detection unit, the fingertip operation being less than the preset value indicates a low speed movement of the fingertip operation; and a low speed time correction unit correcting the current pointer position to one button of the plurality of buttons being estimated as the desired button when the fingertip operation is determined as the low speed movement of the fingertip operation and without determining whether the current pointer position is within the specific range.
