Patent number: 11042239Abstract: Provided is an information processing device, which is configured to inhibit an unintended operation of a user from being erroneously detected when a flick operation is performed on a curved touch panel. An operation content including a direction of a flick performed with a finger on a curved front surface of a touch panel is detected, and a curvature ratio of the front surface corresponding to the detected direction is acquired. Further, a flick threshold value using a curvature ratio as a parameter is determined, and characteristics of the detected operation content are quantified as a flick score. Then, through comparison between the flick threshold value and the flick score, it is judged whether or not a touch operation is the flick operation.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2016Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Kenichiro Nakagawa

Patent number: 9460537Abstract: An apparatus designs an animation expressing a transition of display forms of an object. A reception unit receives an operation for setting key frames in the animation at one or more time points on a time axis displayed on a screen, the time axis corresponding to the animation, and instructs a display form of the object at each of the set key frames. The reception unit receives, in a state when one or more key frames are set on the time axis and a display form of the object is instructed at each of the set key frames, an instruction for reflecting a display form of the object instructed to a first key frame of an already set one or more key frames as a display form of the object at a second key frame set on the time axis. A display control unit displays indicators representing the key frames.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2010Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Kenichiro Nakagawa, Makoto Hirota, Rei Ishikawa, Masayuki Ishizawa
