Information processing device and control method

Abstract

An information processor includes a display section for displaying a result of information processing, a contact detecting section for detecting a contact position in the display section, a first area display section for displaying a first area in the display section, a second area display section for displaying second areas, while contact with the first area is being detected by the contact detecting section, in a periphery of the first area in the display section, the second areas being obtained by dividing the periphery into a predetermined number of areas, a processing execution section for executing processing when the contact detecting section detects contact with the first area and contact with the second area in succession and detects breaking of contact with the second area, the processing corresponding to coordinates of a position in the second area at which the breaking of contact with the second area is detected.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device, a control method, and a program. Background technique [0002] In recent years, smart phones (smartphones), mobile phones, electronic information terminals, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants: personal digital assistants), notebook personal computers (hereinafter also referred to as "PCs"), tablet PCs, etc. Representative information processing devices are rapidly spreading. In addition, some of these information processing devices are equipped with a display having a touch panel function, and operability has been improved by the touch panel function. In this display having a touch panel function, generally, the display area and the touch area coincide. In addition, PCs with a structure capable of switching between a notebook type and a tablet type are widespread. [0003] An information processing device equipped with a display having a touch panel function detects a gesture of a fin...

Problems solved by technology

However, the input speed of the handwritten character recognition method is limited by the input speed of inputting characters by handwriting, and the correction process of the recognition error when the PC misrecognizes the handwritten characters, etc.

In addition, in the character input method using the soft keyboard, it is necessary to continuously and accurately select the characters on the smaller soft keyboard displayed on the screen, so it takes time to input and convert, and there are also problems such as visual nerve fatigue.
