Abstract
An information processor includes a coordinate analyzer which analyzes input coordinate information, and a marking device which marks a desired coordinate. A memory stores marking coordinate information analyzed by the coordinate analyzer, and includes a mark name marked by the marking device. A display device displays the marking position in a display area based on marking information stored in the memory by designating the mark name when the marked coordinate is not present in the display area, when changing the display area.
Claims16
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- analysis means for analyzing input coordinate information to mark a coordinate point;
- marking means for giving a mark name to the coordinate point marked by said analysis means;
- memory means for storing marking information comprising the coordinate point marked by said analysis means and the mark name given by said marking means, the coordinate point and the mark name being in correspondence to each other;
- input means for inputting a name;
- search means for searching said memory means for the mark name coincident with the name input by said input means;
- and
- display control means for controlling a display device to replace information currently displayed on a display area of the display device by information at the marked coordinate point based on the marking information, stored in said memory means, corresponding to the mark name searched by said search means when the marked coordinate point is not present in the display area.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- display control means for controlling a display device to display data;
- registration means for registering in a memory means a desired position of the displayed data and a name in correspondence to each other;
- input means for inputting a name;
- search means for searching said memory means for the name registered by said registration means coincident with the name input by said input means;
- and
- display updating means, responsive to the name being input, for displaying data for the position corresponding to the name searched by said search means on the display device instead of data currently displayed on the display device.
An information processing method comprising the steps of:
- displaying data on a display screen;
- registering in a memory a desired position of the displayed data and a name in correspondence to each other;
- inputting a name;
- searching the memory for the name registered in said registering step coincident with the name input in said inputting step;
- and
- in response to the name being input, displaying data for the position corresponding to the name searched in said searching step on the display screen instead of data currently displayed on the display screen.
