  • Patent number: 11048533
    Abstract: Proficiency level determining unit determines a user's proficiency level in operating his/her user device. Suggestion determining unit determines a suggestion to be disclosed, based on a trigger that has occurred. Suggestion type determining unit determines a type of the suggestion determined to be displayed by suggestion determining unit. Display method determining unit determines a display method of the suggestion based on the suggestion type determined by suggestion type determining unit, among display methods that differ in a method by which the user may operate the user device after a suggestion is displayed. Suggestion display control unit causes a display means of the user device to display the suggestion determined by suggestion determining unit using the display method determined by display method determining unit.

  • Patent number: 10831515
    Abstract: A user's proficiency level of operation of a user apparatus is determined with higher accuracy. Acquisition unit acquires service contract information of a user using the apparatus. Determination unit determines the user's proficiency level of operation of the user apparatus based on service contract information acquired by acquisition unit. Trigger determination unit determines whether or not there has been an event (called a “trigger”) that triggers display of a hint to the user using the apparatus. If it is determined by trigger determination unit that a trigger has occurred, display control unit displays, on a display means, a hint corresponding to the trigger and the proficiency level determined by determination unit.

  • Patent number: 9823823
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a touch panel display that displays an object, a contact state detection unit that detects a state of proximity or contact of a finger on the touch panel display, a coordinate detection unit that detects proximity position coordinates on a plane of the touch panel display when the state of proximity of the finger on the touch panel display is detected by the contact state detection unit, and an object selection unit that calculates a direction of movement and a speed of movement of the proximity position coordinates in a plane direction of the touch panel display based on the proximity position coordinates and selects the object displayed at a position corresponding to the direction of movement and the speed of movement.

  • Patent number: 9690464
    Abstract: A terminal device to accurately define a selection range by an intuitive operation when an object is selected on a touch panel display. The terminal device includes a touch panel display for displaying an object and sensing proximity or contact of a finger, a coordinate sensing unit for detecting a coordinate value of an approaching position or a contacting position of the finger to the touch panel display, and an object selecting unit. The object selecting unit sets a selection range defined by the coordinate values of the plurality of fingers and selects the object included in the selection range when the coordinate values of the plurality of fingers detected by the coordinate sensing unit have been concurrently maintained for a predetermined time.
