Display control device, display control method, and recording medium

Abstract

There is provided a display control device including a first acquiring unit configured to acquire orientation of a display unit detected by a first detecting unit, and a display control unit configured to display content at the display unit. The display control unit scrolls the content according to the orientation of the display unit.

1 . An information processing system, comprising:
 a head mounted device including a display screen configured to display content;   a hand-held remote terminal;   a first sensor configured to detect a first orientation of the display screen;   a second sensor configured to detect a second orientation of the hand-held remote terminal; and   at least one processor configured to:   determine an angular difference, in a first direction, between the detected first orientation of the display screen and the detected second orientation of the hand-held remote terminal, and   control, based on the determined angular difference, the display screen to scroll the displayed content in a second direction.   
     
     
         2 . The information processing system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the second sensor includes a geomagnetic sensor, and   wherein the geomagnetic sensor configured to detect the second orientation of the hand-held remote terminal associated with the first direction.   
     
     
         3 . The information processing system according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the second direction is one of a rightward direction in a first plane parallel to a second plane of the display screen or a leftward direction in the first plane parallel to the second plane of the display screen.   
     
     
         4 . The display control device according to  claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control, based on the determined angular difference, a scroll speed of the scroll of the displayed content. 
     
     
         5 . The display control device according to  claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to increase the scroll speed of the displayed content based on increase in the determined angular difference. 
     
     
         6 . The information processing system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the hand-held remote terminal is configured to receive a user touch operation, and   wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control, based on the received user touch operation, the display screen to scroll the displayed content.   
     
     
         7 . The information processing system according to  claim 6 , wherein
 the at least one processor is further configured to:   restrict the scroll of the displayed content based on absence of reception of the user touch operation by the hand-held remote terminal; and   control the display screen to scroll the displayed content for a time period for which the user touch operation is received by the hand-held remote terminal.   
     
     
         8 . The information processing system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the hand-held remote terminal includes a button,   wherein the hand-held remote terminal is configured to receive a tap operation on the button, and   wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:   control, based on the received tap operation and a region of focus of the displayed content, the display screen to display a selection result image; and   update, based on the tap operation on the button for a first time period, the display screen to return from the selection result image.   
     
     
         9 . The information processing system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the hand-held remote terminal is a smartphone including the at least one processor and the second sensor.   
     
     
         10 . An information processing method, comprising:
 in an information processing system that includes a display screen and a hand-held remote terminal:
 displaying content on the display screen; 
 detecting, by a first sensor, a first orientation of the display screen; 
 detecting, by a second sensor, a second orientation of the hand-held remote terminal; and 
 determining an angular difference, in a first direction, between the detected first orientation of the display screen and the detected second orientation of the hand-held remote terminal, and 
 controlling, based on the determined angular difference, the display screen to scroll the displayed content in a second direction. 
   
     
     
         11 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause an information processing system to execute operations, the operations comprising:
 displaying content on a display screen;   detecting, by a first sensor, a first orientation of the display screen;   detecting, by a second sensor, a second orientation of a hand-held remote terminal; and   determining an angular difference, in a first direction, between the detected first orientation of the display screen and the detected second orientation of the hand-held remote terminal, and   controlling, based on the determined angular difference, the display screen to scroll the displayed content in a second direction.
