Information processing apparatus, information processing method and program

Abstract

A information processing apparatus includes an input position detecting unit that detects a position of an operator positioned on an operation input unit; a direction detecting unit that detects a moving direction of the operator based on a time variation of the detected position of the operator; a reproduction speed changing unit that changes a reproduction speed of the contents that vary with elapse of time displayed in a screen according to the number of operators detected by the input position detecting unit, and a reproducing direction changing unit that changes a reproducing direction of the contents displayed in the screen according to the moving direction of the of the operator detected by the direction detecting unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program. Background technique [0002] In recent years, portable information processing devices mounted with touch panels and touch pads (hereinafter referred to as touch panels) have been widely spread. Such portable information processing apparatuses include, for example, cellular phones, PHS (Personal Handyphone System), portable moving image players, portable music players, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), and the like. In addition, in recent years, television receivers, portable game machines, remote control units, and the like have also mounted touch panels thereon. Some of these information processing apparatuses do not have an operation unit other than a touch panel. A user using such an information processing apparatus needs to perform almost all operations using a touch panel. [0003] For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the technique of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 08-76926, when retrieving information from display contents, it is necessary to pass trial and error while appropriately changing the number of touch devices used to operate the touch panel. (trial and error) processing to search for information required for location display, so the problem with including is that retrieval takes time

[0005] In addition, in the technology described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-119911, when the touch switch is operated, the user needs to grasp the operation method in advance, such as the number of fingers, the direction of operation, the pressure of operation, and the speed of operation, so the problems involved to worsen operability
