Information processing apparatus and control method

An information processing apparatus includes a display unit having a plurality of display areas, a touch sensor unit that detects a predetermined operation by an operation medium on one of the plurality of display areas and to detect a position of the operation medium during the predetermined operation, and a startup control unit that displays a menu of icons in the plurality of display areas upon the touch sensor unit sensing the predetermined operation, the menu of icons being different depending on a combination of an orientation of the display unit, and which of the plurality of display areas the predetermined operation occurred in. The startup control unit launches an application program corresponding to an icon selected by the operation medium from among the displayed icons in the menu.

An information processing apparatus, includes: a display unit, a touch sensor unit placed on a screen of the display unit to detect contact with an object on the screen; an input processing unit that selectively performs prediction processing for predicting the next detected position data on the basis of a plurality of past detected position data on the screen detected at predetermined detection intervals by the touch sensor unit when an operating medium contacts the screen and noise reduction processing for removing noise from the detected position data detected by the touch sensor unit for smoothing, according to a drawing status based on the detected position data, and then outputs the detected position data of a result of the selectively-performed processing, and a display processing unit that causes the display unit to display a movement locus on the screen.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, and control method

An information processing apparatus includes a display unit, a touch sensor disposed on the display unit and detects contact with an object on the display unit, a main system, and an embedded system. The embedded system generates image data of an input area for a virtual input device, output image data of the input area to the main system by using a first general-purpose interface protected by the main system, and output input information, which is based on detection information detected in the input area by the touch sensor, via the virtual input device to the main system by using a second general-purpose interface protected by the main system. The main system displays, on the display unit, the image data of the input area output by the embedded system.

Provided are information processing system and information processing method which make it possible to avoid execution of drawing by a pen touching operation which does not follow a user's intention accurately.

Information processing system and method for avoiding execution of unintentional drawing operations

An information processing apparatus includes a display, a touch sensor disposed on a screen of the display unit detects an input position by an input medium on the screen, a main controller, and an embedded controller. The embedded controller predicts a subsequent input position of the input medium based on detected input positions of the input medium detected by the touch sensor at predetermined detection intervals, and output, to the main controller, the predicted subsequent input position as part of the detected input positions detected by the touch sensor. The main controller, based on the plurality of detected input positions received from the embedded controller, display a movement trajectory of the input medium on the screen.

An information processing apparatus includes: a display; a touch sensor on the display that detects a contact with an object on the display; a main system that executes processing in accordance with an operating system (OS); and an embedded system different from and independent of the main system. The embedded system causes the display to display third image data obtained by synthesizing first image data output from the main system and second image data that is image data in an input area for a virtual input device, and to output input information based on detection information detected by the touch sensor in the input area to the main system as input information accepted by the virtual input device.
