## Abstract

A data processing apparatus includes an operation definition management unit that manages definition data in which a pattern of a predetermined operation input including a specification of an object to which an effect is generated is corresponded with an effect; an operation input accepting unit that accepts an operation input by a user; an operation input recognizing processing unit that recognizes the operation input accepted by the operation input accepting unit by referring to the definition data; and an effect control unit that performs the effect of the definition data corresponding to the operation input recognized by the operation input recognizing processing unit.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A data processing apparatus comprising:
an operation definition management unit that manages definition data in which an effect is associated with
a pattern of a predetermined operation input that is a trace of a combination of positions on a predetermined area where an object to which the effect is generated is to be positioned including a specification of an object to which the effect is generated, and
a positional relationship between the predetermined area and an object on which the effect is exerted;
an operation input accepting unit that accepts an operation input by a user;
an operation input recognizing processing unit that recognizes the operation input accepted by the operation input accepting unit by referring to the definition data; and
an effect control unit that performs the effect of the definition data corresponding to the operation input recognized by the operation input recognizing processing unit,
wherein the operation input recognizing processing unit applies the definition data after converting the definition data based on the pattern of the predetermined operation input and the positional relationship when recognizing the operation input accepted by the operation input accepting unit.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The data processing apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the predetermined area includes a plurality of placing positions on which a plurality of the objects to which the effect are generated are respectively positioned, and
the trace is a trace of a combination of two or more of the placing positions on the predetermined area.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The data processing apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the predetermined area is an area where a character that is the object to which an effect is generated is positioned.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The data processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:
a unit that dynamically changes the definition data.

### Claim 5

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program that causes a computer composing a data processing apparatus, comprising:
an operation definition management function that manages definition data in which an effect is associated with
a pattern of a predetermined operation input that is a trace of a combination of positions on a predetermined area where an object to which the effect is generated is to be positioned including a specification of an object to which the effect is generated, and
a positional relationship between the predetermined area and an object on which the effect is exerted;
an operation input accepting function that accepts an operation input by a user;
an operation input recognizing processing function that recognizes the operation input accepted by the operation input accepting function by referring to the definition data; and
an effect control function that performs the effect of the definition data corresponding to the operation input recognized by the operation input recognizing processing function,
wherein the operation input recognizing processing function applies the definition data after converting the definition data based on the pattern of the predetermined operation input and the positional relationship when recognizing the operation input accepted by the operation input accepting function.
