US Patent 9519365 Display control apparatus and control method for the same

A display control apparatus enables a user to perform a touch operation more simply and easily on a screen including a first item permitting a setting change without screen transition and a second item permitting a setting change after transition of the screen to a different display screen. On a display screen with a plurality of items including the first item and the second item, when a touch-down operation is detected in an area of the first item while the first item is selected, the display control apparatus invalidates a move operation for selecting other items. On the other hand, when a touch-down operation is detected in an area of the second item while the second item is selected, the display control apparatus validates a move operation for selecting other items.
