An information processing apparatus including a detector that detects movement of a manipulation body in a vertical direction in relation to a display, and a processor that determines a speed of movement of the manipulation body based on an output of the detector, and determines a process to be executed based on the determined speed of movement.

Information processor, information processing method, and computer program

A display control device includes a display controller executing display control to display, on a display screen of a display device displaying an image, a whole of a display target image that is to be displayed and that has an aspect ratio differing from an aspect ratio of the display screen, and to display a partial enlarged image, which is obtained by enlarging a partial image corresponding to a part of the display target image and which has a smaller size than the display screen, at a displayed position of the partial image in superimposed relation to the display target image.

Display control device and display control method

Provided is an information processing apparatus including a presentation section which presents an action log that is an action result of a third party, and a schedule adjustment section which incorporates the action log selected from the presented action log by a user as a schedule of schedule information of the user.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and computer program for scheduling activities modelled from activities of third parties

Display control device and method to display a panoramic image

An apparatus and method provide logic for processing information. In one implementation, an apparatus includes a display unit configured to display a first portion of content to a user. The display unit includes a display surface. A detection unit is configured to detect a distance between an interface surface and a reference point disposed along an operational tool of the user. A control unit configured to determine whether the distance falls within a threshold range, and generate a signal to display a second portion of content to the user, when the detected distance falls within the threshold range. The display unit is further configured to display the second content portion, based on the generated signal.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method and program

An apparatus is provided that includes a first detection unit configured to determine whether or not a user control member is within a first threshold distance of the touch panel. The apparatus also includes a second detection unit configured to determine a direction of movement of the user control member with respect to a touch panel when the user control member is not in contact with the touch panel, and a display control unit configure to, when the user control member is determined to be moving within the threshold distance and in a predetermined direction, generate signals to alter a first displayed object such that the altered first displayed object appears to move closer to the user control member.

Controlling movement of displayed objects based on user operation

A display control apparatus, method and computer program storage device detect when an object is in a proximity position relative to a display. In response, a display state of a displayed item is changed. Then, a processing circuit causes a relation item to be displayed adjacent to the proximity position, the relation item being related to the displayed item. The displayed state may be changed in size, position, color and other ways to reflect the recognition of the object being detected as being proximate to a predetermined proximity location.

Display control apparatus and method for displaying information related to icons

An method is provided for controlling devices. The method comprises detecting location of an operating member in non-contacting proximity to a non-contacting interface. The method further comprises changing selection among a plurality of data objects belonging to a group, based on a change in detected location of the operating member while in proximity to the interface.

An information processing apparatus includes an operation unit; and a control unit performing a process in response to an operation executed through the operation unit. Different gesture operations are able to be assigned to an operation corresponding to copy of information and an operation corresponding to cut of information, respectively. The control unit selects a portion designated by a user in information displayed on a display unit, and then copies the selected portion when the user executes the gesture operation corresponding to the copy through the operation unit, whereas the control unit cuts the selected portion when the user executes the gesture operation corresponding to the cut through the operation unit.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing program utilizing gesture based copy and cut operations

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a press-down detection unit for detecting a press-down operation, and an information processing unit for performing, in a case a plurality of press-down operations are successively detected by the press-down detection unit in a state where first information and second information related to the first information are held, a paste operation of the first information by a first press-down operation and processing according to the second information by a second press-down operation following the first operation.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An apparatus is provided that comprises a first detection unit configured to detect a first user operation on a first object and a first display unit configured to generate signals to display the first object in a first display state. The apparatus further comprises a second display unit configured to generate signals to change the display state of the first object from the first display state to a second display state. The apparatus further comprises a third display unit configured to generate signals to change the display state of the first object from the second display state to the first display state in response to the detection of the second user operation on the first object.

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a position detection unit for detecting a contact position of an operating tool which has contacted a screen, an area size detection unit for detecting a contact area size of the operating tool which has contacted the screen, a pressure detection unit for detecting a pressure of the operating tool pressing the screen, and a parameter setting unit for setting, according to the contact area size of the operating tool on an object for parameter setting displayed on the screen and the pressure of the operating tool pressing the object, a size of a parameter associated with the object.
