In a portable telephone, a sensor constructed of, for example, a 3-axial acceleration sensor is built in the vicinity of a display unit which is provided on a main body of the portable telephone. When a user moves the display unit along a vertical direction (Z-axis direction) with respect to a display screen thereof while the user holds the appliance main body, the sensor senses both a move direction and a move amount of the display unit, and thus, information displayed on the display screen of the display unit is enlarged, or compressed in display magnification defined in response to the sensed move amount. As a result, a display size of the information displayed on the display screen can be changed in such a manner that the user may have such a natural feeling achieved by moving a magnifying glass.

The present invention provides a technique to improve productivity on a task for redesigning a screen depending on change in a display size of the screen displayed on a display unit. In a computer environment, a display of a screen composed of a container for defining a frame of the screen and a GUI part arranged in this container is controlled as follows. When an event is detected for changing the size of the screen displayed on a display section, the size of the container in this screen is changed according to the detected event. Furthermore, data relating to a GUI part arranged within the container are changed on the basis of transformation assist lines 341 and 342 set on the container. Then the changed size of the container, a position and the size of the GUI part are reflected to update the screen.

During Graphical User Interface (GUI) layout and design, selection of a GUI component causes either the selected component or an ancestor of the selected component to be displayed in a design area. If the selected component is capable of displaying other GUI components within its boundaries, it is the selected component that is displayed in the design area. Otherwise, an ancestor GUI component of the selected component that is capable of displaying other GUI components within its boundaries is displayed in the design area. The displayed component is displayed in a size that is larger than its usual display size, so that component features may more easily be seen and, if desired, manipulated. The larger size may fill the design area. Selection may be effected by a designer or by automatic programmatic selection, e.g., by layout editor software, and may in some cases be a reselection.

A partially collapsing hierarchical display system aids information navigation by providing a dynamic mechanism for labeling items with one or more states. In one embodiment, states comprise “hidden”, “visible” and “unmarked”. An expanded list of items displays all items. A partially expanded list of items displays all visible and unmarked items, removing hidden items from the display. A further collapsed list of items displays all visible items. A completely collapsed list of items hides all items. Users customize the amount of detail displayed in a sub-tree, reducing the display size of the sub-tree. Expansion of a hierarchical structure is combined with filtering, allowing users to partially collapse or partially expand a sub-tree structure. Partially collapsed lists comprise one or more focus points, allowing users to view several relevant sections of a hierarchical structure concurrently. Displayed sizes or other visual characteristics of items within the hierarchical structure are automatically adjusted to reflect the states designated by the user.
