  • Patent number: 9880721
    Abstract: An information processing device includes an operation receiver capable of receiving a gesture operation for an object on a screen; and a controller configured to receive an output from the operation receiver and an output from a user motion detector configured to detect whether the gesture operation received by the operation receiver is a two-hand operation or a one-hand operation. The controller sets a size change associated with the resizing to a first degree when the gesture operation for the object is the two-hand operation, and sets a size change associated with the resizing to a second degree which is relatively greater than the first degree when the gesture operation for the object is the one-hand operation on a basis of a user operation detected by the user motion detector, and reflects resizing of the object on the screen on a basis of the set degree.

  • Publication number: 20160357395
    Abstract: An information processing device includes an operation receiver and a controller. The controller acquires a size of an object being a target for a gesture operation performed via the operation receiver, sets a size change associated with resizing performed by a first gesture operation for a first object to a first degree, when the acquired size of the first object is a first size, and sets a degree of a size change associated with resizing performed by the first gesture operation for a second object to a second degree, when the acquired size of the second object is a second size which is larger than the first size, the second degree being smaller than the first degree. The controller reflects, when the identified gesture operation is resizing, the resizing of the object on a screen in accordance with the set degree of the size change.

  • Publication number: 20160179289
    Abstract: An object operation system includes a display section, an operation section and a controller. In response to recognizing a multi-touch gesture to touch a screen of the display section at three or more touch points simultaneously on the basis of information output from the operation section, the controller determines an operation target of the multi-touch gesture in accordance with whether or not a predetermined number of touch points among the three or more of touch points are located on one object or the area of an object group displayed on the screen, where the predetermined number is two or more. In response to a change in position of at least one of the predetermined number of touch points, the controller operates the operation target in accordance with the change.

  • Publication number: 20160182609
    Abstract: A processing apparatus and plural terminals are connected by a communication network. On receiving local data from one of the terminals, a controller of the processing apparatus extracts properties of one or more objects from the local data, compares each property extracted from the local data with a common property and determines whether to keep or change the each property. If the extracted property is the same as the common property, the controller keeps the property as it is. Otherwise, the controller determines whether to keep the individual property which differs from the common property as it is or to change the individual property to the corresponding common property, in accordance with whether the individual property meets a predetermined criterion. Using the determined property, the controller writes each of the one or more objects of the local data into the common file, and stores the common file.
