Abstract
An input display apparatus can communicate with a printing apparatus, and includes a display unit, a touch detection unit, and an orientation detection unit. The input display apparatus determines which screen components is touched by the operator touches, determines a type of an operation from the touch by the operator, and determines based on the orientation of the input display apparatus whether or not the input display apparatus has been rotated on a plane including a display screen. When the operation is a long press operation, and the input display apparatus has been rotated, the touched screen component determined to be touched is rotated and displayed in a direction opposite to a rotation direction of the input display apparatus.
