There is provided a program to make it possible to check whether operation of the RFID tag is a desired operation assumed by a user. The program causes a computer to function as: a means for acquiring information regarding motion of an RFID tag that performs near-field wireless communication; a means for recognizing preliminary operation of the RFID tag on a basis of the information regarding the motion; and a means for performing processing of displaying the recognized preliminary operation of the RFID tag. This configuration makes it possible to check whether operation of the RFID tag is a desired operation assumed by a user.

Program, information processing system, information processing method, and reader/writer apparatus

A touch panel is constructed by a display/sensor unit which is slightly larger than a display screen of an LCD and a sensor unit which is projected to the outside from one side, for example, from one side on the right. A finger of the user is touched to a selection item such as desired button, icon, or the like on the display/sensor unit and vertically moved on the sensor unit. A selection display constructed by a plurality of buttons is displayed along the side of the display screen by the LCD. A button beside the finger is highlighted. When the finger is released, the highlighted button is selected. If there are no buttons adjacent to the finger, the button is not highlighted. Even if the finger is released, the state is not changed. When finger is moved to the display/sensor unit, the selection display disappears.

Technique for executing a combined operation in response to a single press and release of a sensor unit

A terminal device includes a display unit having a function for displaying a menu screen on a display screen, a selection unit for causing a user to select one of the items in the menus screen displayed on the display screen, and a holding unit holding status information concerning at least one application among a plurality of applications. The display unit displays an item indicating the application on the display screen while presenting status information on the application held in the holding unit on the display screen.

System and method for organizing application programs and status information

Touch screen input method and device

A touch panelis constructed by a display/sensor unitwhich is slightly larger than a display screen of an LCDand a sensor unitwhich is projected to the outside from one side, for example, from one side on the right. A fingerof the user is touched to a selection item such as desired button, icon, or the like on the display/sensor unitand vertically moved on the sensor unit. A selection displayconstructed by a plurality of buttons is displayed along the side of the right side of the display screen by the LCD. A button beside the fingeris highlighted and when the fingeris released, the highlighted button is selected. If there are no buttons adjacent to the finger, the button is not highlighted. Even if the fingeris released, the state is not changed. When fingeris moved to the display/sensor unit, the selection displaydisappears.

Three-dimensional-model processing apparatus, three-dimensional-model processing methods, and computer programs are provided. In a three-dimensional-model processing apparatus, method, and computer programs, it is determined whether relative positions or relative attitudes of a plurality of three-dimensional objects shown on an image display unit satisfy a predetermined processing execution condition. When it is determined that the processing execution condition is satisfied, distinction information indicating that processing such as pickup or joining of objects is possible is presented. For example, display mode is changed or sound is output for the objects. A user is allowed to immediately find without stress whether an object is at a position where pickup or joining is possible. This improves the efficiency of operation.
