Patent number: 8423916Abstract: An information processing apparatus inputs a coordinate value of a position designated on a screen which displays one or a plurality of objects, compares an input locus expressed by the input coordinate value string with a second locus, which is defined in advance as a locus used to give the instruction to execute a process for an object, and determines whether the input locus is a first locus or the second locus. When it is determined that the input locus is the first locus, the apparatus selects an object from the one or plurality of objects based on the display positions of the input locus and the object on the screen. When it is determined that the input locus is the second locus, the apparatus executes a process designated by the input locus with respect to the selected object.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2009Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yusuke Chihara, Hiroki Urashima

Patent number: 8214755Abstract: An object is designated as a designated object. Two or more image data items containing objects each being different from the designated object by an amount smaller than or equal to a first predetermined value are selected from among a specific image data item group. The selected two or more image data items are displayed in two or more display regions provided on a display unit. The objects each being different from the designated object by the amount smaller than or equal to the first predetermined value are defined as main objects, the two or more image data items are adjusted such that differences in position and size of the main objects in the display regions between the two or more image data items are made smaller than or equal to a second predetermined value, and the adjusted two or more image data items are displayed.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2008Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroki Urashima, Masaji Munekuni
