  • Patent number: 11669217
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (10) includes a receiver (111) configured to receive operation information corresponding to details of a cursor operation of allowing a user (U) to move the cursor (CUR); a controller (112) configured to cause a display (20) to display the cursor (CUR), based on the operation information, and a calculator (114) configured to, when the operation information includes an instruction to move the cursor positioned in one item image out of the item images (GI-1 to GI-9) toward another item image adjacent to the one item image, calculate an arrangement density of item images arranged in a direction of movement of the cursor from the one item image. The controller (112) reduces an amount of the cursor operation required for the user to move the cursor (CUR) from the one item image to the other item image to be within a range not below a predetermined lower limit value as the arrangement density calculated by the calculator (114) increases.
