Problems solved by technology

However, since the menus of each layer are merely superimposed and displayed, the structure of the entire menu cannot be grasped, and it is difficult to easily grasp the relationship between items from the upper layer of the menu to the lower layer.
In addition, since menu data corresponding to the menu screen of each layer is required, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of menu data in order to display a menu having a layer structure, thereby increasing the amount of data.

Abstract

Provided is a mobile terminal including a display unit having a display screen, a storage unit and a control unit. The storage unit is stored in advance with the entire menu screen information which is not confined in the display screen and which corresponds to the entirety of a menu having a hierarchical structure. The control unit subjects the entire menu screen information to a folding treatment, thereby to generate folded screen information corresponding to the folded screen which can be displayed in the display screen, so that the folded screen is displayed in the display screen of the display unit in response to the folded screen information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a portable terminal displaying a menu with a layered structure and a menu display method for displaying a menu with a layered structure on a display screen of the portable terminal. Background technique [0002] In a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a menu having a layer structure composed of a plurality of layers is displayed. Usually, when displaying a menu with a hierarchical structure, the amount of data in the menu is large (for example, the number of items in the menu is large), and it is often impossible to display all the menus on one screen. One countermeasure against this problem is to use scrolling (Scroll) display. When the scroll display is used, only a part of each item of the menu is displayed on the display screen, and the display screen is scrolled in accordance with the user's operation from the operation unit. Other countermeasures also include, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent La...
