  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a first configuration example of the display control apparatus. The display control device 1 includes a scroll instruction receiving unit 2, a determination unit 3, and a suppression unit 4.

  The scroll instruction receiving unit 2 receives a scroll instruction for scrolling the display range of information to be displayed on the display device. The determination unit 3 determines whether information displayed on the display device by executing the scroll instruction satisfies a predetermined condition. The suppression unit 4 suppresses scrolling of the display range when the determination unit 3 determines that a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  It may be used as a predetermined condition that information displayed on the display device by executing the scroll instruction includes protection required information. According to the present embodiment, when the visible information to be displayed on the display device includes the protection required information, the display of the protection required information can be suppressed. Further, according to the present embodiment, the user can safely confirm what kind of matters the protection required information relates to.

  In other words, the user can freely browse the non-protection information by scrolling the display range of the visible information until the display range reaches the protection required information, so what kind of matters the subsequent protection required information relates to. Judgment can be made. On the other hand, since scrolling for displaying protection required information is suppressed, inadvertent display of protection required information is prevented. For this reason, the user can scroll the display range of visible information in comfort. Therefore, convenience when the user browses visible information is improved.

  In addition, enabling a part of the visible information including the protection required information in this way enables the user to determine whether or not the protection required information may be browsed on the spot. Convenience when browsing visible information is improved.

  In the case of the above-described privacy protection function of the mobile phone, there is a problem that when an email including protection required information is received from an unexpected email address, the content of the email is displayed carelessly. According to the present embodiment, since the scroll operation is suppressed when the protection required information is about to be displayed by the scroll operation, it is possible to prevent the protection required information from being displayed carelessly.

  Further, in the case of the above-described peeping prevention technology, since the peeping prevention effect varies depending on the position of the viewpoint, there is a problem that the user feels uneasy about whether the characters on the display screen are really not visible to the surrounding human beings. According to the present embodiment, since the protection-necessary information itself is prevented from being displayed carelessly, the user does not feel such anxiety.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce a decrease in convenience for the user himself / herself due to difficulty in browsing the protection information required. In other words, a protection function that makes it difficult to view protection information that is required may cause a decrease in convenience for the user. This is because, when viewing visible information including protection required information, it is required to perform an operation different from that when viewing visible information not including protection required information.

  According to the present embodiment, the user can freely browse the visible information by scrolling the display range of the visible information until the display range reaches the protection required information. For this reason, if it is sufficient to simply browse a portion that does not require protection, it is possible to browse in the same manner as a conventional operation, so that convenience for the user is not impaired.

  The protection required information may be image information. That is, it may be used as a predetermined condition that information displayed on the display device by executing a scroll instruction includes an image.

  Further, it is used as a predetermined condition that predetermined information is stored in advance in a predetermined storage device, and the information stored in the storage device is included in information displayed on the display device by executing a scroll instruction. It's okay. Such an embodiment is shown in FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a second configuration example of the display control apparatus.

  The display control device 1 includes a scroll instruction receiving unit 2, a determination unit 3, and a suppression unit 4. The processes of the scroll instruction receiving unit 2 and the suppressing unit 4 may be the same as the processes described with reference to FIG. The determination unit 3 determines whether the information displayed on the display device by executing the scroll instruction includes the predetermined information stored in the predetermined storage unit as the predetermined condition. The predetermined information stored in the predetermined storage unit may be any visible information that can be displayed on the display device, such as character information such as keywords, image information, and the like.

  When the creator of the information to be displayed is different from the viewer, it may be difficult for the viewer to predict what kind of protection information the creator needs to include in the information to be displayed.

  According to the present embodiment, not only the predetermined information registered in the storage unit itself but also a scroll operation for displaying information following the predetermined information is suppressed. Accordingly, even if the information itself to be protected is not registered, it can be expected that display of the information itself to be protected is suppressed by registering information related to this information in the storage unit.

  For example, the case where a specific transfer account number is protection required information is assumed. In the visible information indicating the transfer account number, there is a high probability that a keyword such as “transfer destination” is used prior to the transfer account number. Therefore, if the keyword “transfer destination” is registered in advance in the storage unit as the predetermined information, it is expected that the display of the transfer account number itself is suppressed.

  Next, another embodiment of the other display control device 1 will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a third configuration example of the display control apparatus. The display control device 1 includes a scroll instruction receiving unit 2, a determination unit 3, a suppression unit 4, and a message output unit 5. The processes of the scroll instruction receiving unit 2, the determination unit 3, and the suppression unit 4 may be the same as the respective processes in the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 1 or FIG.

  The message output unit 5 outputs a predetermined message to the display device when a predetermined condition is satisfied. According to the present embodiment, the user can know that scrolling is suppressed due to the presence of the protection required information. For this reason, a present Example can urge a user to prepare for browsing protection information required, and improves the safety at the time of browsing protection information.

  Next, another embodiment of the other display control device 1 will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a fourth configuration example of the display control apparatus. The display control device 1 includes a scroll instruction receiving unit 2, a determination unit 3, a suppression unit 4, a message output unit 5, and a response receiving unit 6. The processes of the scroll instruction receiving unit 2, the determination unit 3, the suppression unit 4, and the message output unit 5 may be the same as the respective processes in the embodiment described with reference to FIG.

  The response receiving unit 6 receives a response input from the user for the predetermined message output by the message output unit 5. When the response input is accepted, the suppression unit 4 cancels the scroll suppression. According to the present embodiment, the user can instruct the display control apparatus 1 that preparation for browsing the protection required information is completed. For this reason, the user can browse the protection required information in a safe state, and the browsing safety is improved.

When an instruction to display an e-mail is accepted (operation CB: Y), the process proceeds to operation CC.

  In operation CC, the display control unit 23 determines whether an image is attached to the e-mail. When an image is attached (operation CC: Y), the processing proceeds to operation CD. When no image is attached (operation CC: N), the display control unit 23 performs an e-mail display process in the same manner as a normal e-mail. Alternatively, when no image is attached (operation CC: N), the display control unit 23 may perform the processing described with reference to FIG.

  In operation CD, the display control unit 23 executes the display control process shown in FIG. In other embodiments, the following operations DA to DH may be steps. In operation DA, the display control unit 23 develops the display image of the e-mail in the storage unit 12.

  In the operation DB, the determination unit 26 compares the position of the display range of the display screen of the display unit 14 with the display start position of the image in the display image, and determines whether an image is included in the display range. When an image is included in the display range (operation DB: Y), the process proceeds to operation DC. When no image is included in the display range (operation DB: N), the process proceeds to operation DF.

  In operation DC, the scroll control unit 27 causes the display processing unit 21 to display the contents of the mail up to the image display start position. In operation DD, the message output unit 28 causes the display processing unit 21 to output a warning message. In operation DE, the response reception unit 29 attempts to receive a response input from the user. When the response input is not accepted (operation DE: N), the response acceptance unit 29 repeats the operation DE. When the response input is accepted (operation DE: Y), the processing proceeds to operation DF.

  In operation DF, the scroll control unit 27 displays all the contents to be displayed in the display range of the display screen of the display unit 14. In operation DG, the scroll control unit 27 determines whether or not all the developed display images have been displayed. When all the display images are displayed (operation DG: Y), the process ends. When all the display images are not displayed (operation DG: N), the process proceeds to operation DH.

  In operation DH, the scroll control unit 27 determines whether or not the scroll instruction receiving unit 25 has received a scroll instruction. When the scroll instruction is not accepted (operation DH: N), the scroll control unit 27 repeats the operation DH. When the scroll instruction is accepted (operation DH: Y), the processing returns to the operation DB.
