Information processing device and information processing program

Abstract

To reduce wrong selection of an object in a screen, compared with a case where when a user performs operations of selection and execution to the object in a non-contact manner, the user operates a physical object from a distant position toward a closer position to the screen to select the object.SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus 10 comprises a CPU 41. When a user performs operations of selection and execution to an object in a screen through non-contact operations using a physical object, the CPU 41 allocates a first area for selecting the object to a space immediately above the screen, and allocates a second area for executing the selected object to a space further separated from the screen than the first area.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8

Claims

1. Equipped with a processor, The aforementioned processor, When selecting and executing an object on the screen is performed by a non-contact operation using the object, a first region for selecting the object is assigned to the space directly above the screen. A second area for executing the selected object is assigned to a space further away from the screen than the first area. A third region is allocated between the first region and the second region for confirming the selection of the selected object. The aforementioned processor, When the object is detected in the first region, select the object corresponding to the object, If the object is detected in the third region, the selection of the selected object is confirmed. If the object is detected in the second region, the selected object is executed. Information processing device.

2. The range of the third region in the direction perpendicular to the screen is longer than the range of the first region in the direction perpendicular to the screen. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1.

3. The processor cancels the selection of the selected object if the object moves from the first region to the third region and then returns to the first region, or if the object moves from the first region to the third region and then moves outside the first region, the second region, and the third region. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1.

4. The processor displays a first marker associated with the object when the object is in the first region. When the object is in the second region, control is performed to display a second marker, which has a different display format from the first marker, in association with the object. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1.

5. The processor changes the size or shape of the first marker and the second marker, respectively, depending on the type of object. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4.

6. The processor causes the first subwindow, which includes the object and the first marker, to be displayed in a screen area different from the object. Control is performed to display the second subwindow, which includes the object and the second marker, in the screen area. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4.

7. When selecting and executing an object on the screen is performed by a non-contact operation using the object, a first region for selecting the object is assigned to the space directly above the screen. A second area for executing the selected object is assigned to a space further away from the screen than the first area. A third region is allocated between the first region and the second region for confirming the selection of the selected object. When the object is detected in the first region, select the object corresponding to the object, If the object is detected in the third region, the selection of the selected object is confirmed. When the object is detected in the second region, the selected object is executed. An information processing program designed to be executed by a computer.
