Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus including an operation surface configured to receive touch inputs, and a sensor unit configured to detect at least one right-side touch input from a manipulation by a user of the operation surface within a first operational area of the operation surface, and at least one left-side touch input from a manipulation by the user of the operation surface within a second operational area of the operation surface, wherein the first operational area and the second operational area of the operation surface are mapped to a graphical user interface (GUI) area of a display device.
Claims21
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an operation surface configured to receive touch inputs;
- and
- a sensor unit configured to detect at least one right-side touch input from a manipulation by a user of the operation surface within a first operational area of the operation surface, and at least one left-side touch input from a manipulation by the user of the operation surface within a second operational area of the operation surface,
- wherein the first operational area and the second operational area of the operation surface are mapped to a graphical user interface (GUI) area of a display device.
An information processing method comprising:
- mapping a first operational area and a second operational area of an operation surface of a terminal device to a graphical user interface (GUI) area of a display device;
- detecting at least one right-side touch input from a manipulation by a user of the operation surface within the first operational area of the operation surface;
- and
- detecting at least one left-side touch input from a manipulation by the user of the operation surface within the second operational area of the operation surface.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodied with a program, which when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a method comprising:
- mapping a first operational area and a second operational area of an operation surface of a terminal device to a graphical user interface (GUI) area of a display device;
- detecting at least one right-side touch input from a manipulation by a user of the operation surface within the first operational area of the operation surface;
- and
- detecting at least one left-side touch input from a manipulation by the user of the operation surface within the second operational area of the operation surface.
