Abstract
An information processing apparatus that stores a plurality of pieces of audio data, displays information corresponding to each of the plurality of pieces of audio data, receives an input selecting at least one of the plurality of pieces of audio data, reproduces a first piece of the plurality of pieces of audio data, and initiates simultaneous reproduction of a second piece of the plurality of pieces of audio data based on an input received at the interface, processes the first and second pieces of the audio data such that the first and second pieces of the audio data are separately audible by the user, and outputs the processed first and second pieces of the audio data.
Claims17
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- store a plurality of songs;
- control a display to display information corresponding to each of the plurality of songs;
- receive a first touch input selecting a first song of the plurality of songs;
- start reproduction of the first song in response to receiving the first touch input;
- receive a second touch input selecting a second song of the plurality of songs;
- determine that the second touch input is continuously received for a time period exceeding a predetermined threshold;
- simultaneously reproduce the first and second songs when it is determined the second touch input is continuously received for the time period exceeding the predetermined threshold;
- process the first and second simultaneously reproduced first and second songs to be separately audible by the user while the second touch input is continuously maintained;
- detect a flick operation corresponding to the second touch input;
- and
- stop reproduction of the first song in response to the flick operation while continuing reproduction of the second song.
An information processing method performed by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- storing a plurality of songs;
- displaying, at an interface of the information processing apparatus, information corresponding to each of the plurality of songs;
- receiving, at the interface, a first touch input selecting a first song of the plurality of songs;
- starting reproduction of the first song in response to receiving the first touch input;
- receiving, at the interface, a second touch input selecting a second song of the plurality of songs;
- determining that the second touch input is continuously received for a time period exceeding a predetermined threshold;
- initiating simultaneous reproduction of the first and second songs when it is determined that the second touch input is continuously received for the time period exceeding the predetermined threshold;
- processing the simultaneously reproduced first and second songs to be separately audible by the user while the second touch input is continuously maintained;
- detecting, at the interface, a flick operation corresponding to the second touch input;
- and
- stopping reproduction of the first song in response to the flick operation while continuing reproduction of the second song.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer program instructions, which when executed by an information processing apparatus, cause the information processing apparatus to perform a method comprising:
- storing a plurality of songs;
- displaying information corresponding to each of the plurality of songs;
- receiving a first touch input selecting a first song of the plurality of songs;
- starting reproduction of the first song in response to receiving the first touch input;
- receiving a second touch input selecting a second song of the plurality of songs;
- determining that the second touch input is continuously received for a time period exceeding a predetermined threshold;
- initiating simultaneous reproduction of the first and second songs when it is determined that the second touch input is continuously received for the time period exceeding the predetermined threshold;
- processing the simultaneously reproduced first and second songs to be separately audible by the user while the second touch input is continuously maintained;
- detecting, at the interface, a flick operation corresponding to the second touch input;
- and
- stopping reproduction of the first song in response to the flick operation while continuing reproduction of the second song.
