  • Patent number: 9606649
    Abstract: When a touch panel is operated and erroneous processing has been performed, the probability of the same operation error next time is reduced. For this purpose, when a touch to the touch panel is detected, one of respective items in a menu, which the touch position belongs to is determined. Then processing regarding the determined item is performed. At this time, when a designation input indicating that the selection of the item corresponding to the executed processing was not intended by the operator has been made, to narrow a decision area to decide selection of the item, information indicating the decision area is updated.

  • Publication number: 20150355819
    Abstract: The information processing apparatus identifies whether a state of a pointer which is close to the display screen is in a hover state or in a touch state. According to the duration pointed by the pointer which is in the hover state, the information processing apparatus sets the priority to each item. When the state of the pointer changes from the hover state to the touch state, the information processing apparatus specifies the item touched by the pointer from the plurality of items according to the touch position and the priority.

  • Patent number: 9202148
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus renders a stroke formed by paths. A first obtaining unit obtains shape information representing a shape of a path, a second obtaining unit obtains end-point information representing a modification method for an end point, and a third obtaining unit obtains line-width information representing a line-width of the stroke. A generation unit generates stencil data of the stroke based on the shape, the line-width, and the end-point information. The generation unit includes a first generator to generate basic stencil data by fattening the path represented by the shape information based on the line-width information, and a second generator to generate end-point stencil data based on the end-point information. The generation unit merges the end-point stencil data into the basic stencil data in generating the stencil data. The end-point information represents one of a butt, a square, and a round as the modification method for the end point.

  • Patent number: 8633941
    Abstract: An image-processing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a determining unit determining a type of image data; a holding unit holding color value for the still images, and holding a ratio for the moving image for each moving image, an updating unit updating the color value and the ratio, and a display unit displaying composite image data. For each piece of image data to be drawn, the updating unit updates each ratio based on a transmittance of the image data, updates the color value and a transmittance of a still image when it is a still image, and updates the color value data based on a transmittance of a moving image, and causes the transmittance to be further held as a ratio of the moving image when it is a moving image. The display unit displays the composite image data using the color value and the ratio.
