  • Patent number: 8219527
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a file processing apparatus includes an acquisition module, a change module, an association storage module, a receiver, a creator, a call module, a determination module, a file determination module, and an output module. The acquisition module acquires a first file having a first file name. The change module changes the first file name to a second file name. The association storage module stores the file names. The receiver receives a selection of the first file name. The creator creates a second file assigned the first file name. The call module calls an application capable of editing the second file. The determination module determines whether the name of the second file can be changed. When the file name can be changed, the file determination module determines whether a difference exists between the first and second files. When a difference exists, the output module outputs the second file.

  • Publication number: 20110314398
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information terminal is provided with a launcher graphical user interface (GUI), and includes a detector, a determination module, and a display module. The detector detects a change in the state of an application. The determination module determines whether the application is set in the launcher GUI. The display module displays, when the launcher GUI is not displayed and the determination module determines that the application is set in the launcher GUI, a GUI element of the launcher GUI corresponding to the application.

  • Publication number: 20110018806
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a display module, a coordinate information generation module, a cursor display module, and a processing module. The display module displays image information on a display screen. The coordinate information generation module detects that objects are simultaneously contacted with or approached to first and second detection points of the display screen, and generates coordinate information of the first and second detection points. The cursor display module displays a cursor on the display screen. The processing module, when the coordinate information generation module detects that the objects are contacted with or approached to the first and second detection points and the first detection point exists on the cursor, generates a predetermined event which corresponds to an input operation of a mouse, in accordance with the coordinate information of the second detection point.
