Abstract
A link tree is able to be formed in a visually logical and natural form for a plurality of objects displayed on a screen. At the time of setting individually selectable links to form an overall object link tree for the plurality of objects displayed on the screen, first processing is carried out for setting a link between an m-th object and an n-th object when only the n-th object exists in a predetermined direction with reference to the m-th object, and second processing is alternatively carried out for setting a link based on a distance of each object existing in said predetermined direction from the m-th object when a plurality of objects exist in a predetermined direction with reference to the m-th object.
Claims18
A link tree forming apparatus for setting individually selectable links for a plurality of objects displayed on a screen to form an overall object link tree, said apparatus comprising:
- position information acquiring means for acquiring position information for each object;
- and
- link setting means for setting, on the basis of said acquired position information, a link between an m-th object and an n-th object when only said n-th object exists in a predetermined direction with reference to said m-th object, said link setting means alternatively setting a link based on a distance of each object from said m-th object in said predetermined direction when a plurality of objects exist in said predetermined direction with reference to said m-th object.
A link tree forming method for setting individually selectable links for a plurality of objects displayed on a screen to form an overall object link tree, said method comprising:
- first processing for setting a link between an m-th object and an n-th object when only said n-th object exists in a predetermined direction with reference to said m-th object;
- and
- second processing for setting a link based on a distance of each object existing in a predetermined direction from said m-th object when a plurality of objects exist in said predetermined direction with reference to said m-th object.
A link tree forming program for setting individually selectable links for a plurality of objects displayed on a screen to form an overall object link tree, said program adapted to execute on a computer:
- first processing for setting a link between an m-th object and an n-th object when only said n-th object exists in a predetermined direction with reference to said m-th object;
- and
- second processing for setting a link based on a distance of each object existing in a predetermined direction from said m-th object when a plurality of objects exist in said predetermined direction with reference to said m-th object.
A computer-readable recording medium having a link tree forming program recorded thereon, said program adapted to execute on a computer, when setting individually selectable links for a plurality of objects displayed on a screen to form an overall object link tree,
- first processing for setting a link between an m-th object and an n-th object when only said n-th object exists in a predetermined direction with reference to said m-th object, and
- second processing for setting a link based on a distance of each object existing in a predetermined direction from said m-th object when a plurality of objects exist in said predetermined direction with reference to said m-th object.
