Claims21
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- detect an operation point when a user operation is provided;
- determine if a past indication graphic is being displayed, and if so removing the past indication graphic from display;
- control to display an indication point;
- wherein the indication point is different than the operation point;
- wherein a position of the indication point relative to a position of the operation point is based on a displayed target of indication;
- and
- wherein the indication point and the operation point are on the same display.
A non-transitory recording medium configured to store a program executable by a computer, the program comprising:
- detecting an operation point when a user operation is provided;
- determining if a past indication graphic is being displayed, and if so removing the past indication graphic from display;
- controlling to display an indication point;
- wherein the indication point is different than the operation point;
- wherein a position of the indication point relative to a position of the operation point is based on a displayed target of indication;
- and
- wherein the indication point and the operation point are on the same display.
A display method comprising the steps of:
- detecting an operation point when a user operation is provided to a device;
- determining if a past indication graphic is being displayed, and if so removing the past indication graphic from display;
- displaying an indication point;
- wherein the indication point is different than the operation point;
- wherein a position of the indication point relative to a position of the operation point is based on a displayed target of indication;
- and
- wherein the indication point and the operation point are on the same display.
