Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus including a detection unit for detecting an angle of an operating body to a reference coordinate axis on a display screen and an execution unit for executing a predetermined processing in accordance with the angle of the operating body detected by the detection unit.
Claims19
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a detection unit configured to detect an angle of an operating body relative to a reference coordinate axis on a display screen;
- an execution unit configured to execute a processing selected from a plurality of predetermined processings, based on the angle of the operating body detected by the detection unit;
- and
- a display control unit configured to control the display screen to display a first display layer and a second display layer, the first display layer and the second display layer displayed to be overlaid together, and at least one of the first display layer and the second display layer being displayed as a semitransparent layer,
- wherein the plurality of predetermined processings comprises at least one of a first processing of selecting the first display layer as an active layer and increasing an opacity of the first display layer, and a second processing of selecting the second display layer as the active layer and increasing an opacity of the second display layer, and one of the first processing and the second processing is selected for execution by the execution unit based on the angle detected by the detection unit.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program, which when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform an information processing method comprising:
- detecting an angle of an operating body relative to a reference coordinate axis on a display screen;
- selecting and executing a processing selected from a plurality of predetermined processings, based on the detected angle of the operating body;
- and
- displaying, on the display screen, a first display layer and a second display layer, the first display layer and the second display layer displayed to be overlaid together, and at least one of the first display layer and the second display layer being displayed as a semitransparent layer,
- wherein the plurality of predetermined processings comprises at least one of a first processing of selecting the first display layer as an active layer and increasing an opacity of the first display layer, and a second processing of selecting the second display layer as the active layer and increasing an opacity of the second display layer, and one of the first processing and the second processing is selected and executed based on the detected angle.
