Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An editing method for editing material by selecting and combining content portions of said material to produce edited material that is reproduced on a separate information processing apparatus, the editing method comprising:

• detecting coordinates of a position of touch manipulation with respect to a touch panel to produce edit commands;
• storing a command table of editing commands for editing the content portions of the material and that at least includes a command to change a reproduction position of selected content portions of the material that is reproduced on the separate information processing apparatus, according to the changed reproduction position corresponding to a distance that the touch manipulation moves with respect to the touch panel;
• specifying the command issued to the separate information processing apparatus, from the stored table, based on the detected coordinates and touch manipulation movement;
• and
• displaying in an input material check region content portions of the material to be edited, displaying in an output material check region the edited material to be produced, and displaying in a focus region a focus or command list selected by a user, the focus list identifying the content portions to be edited and the command list identifying predetermined edit commands, wherein the specified command identifies selected content portions displayed in the focus region or selected edit operations based on the detected coordinates and movement of the touch manipulation.

A non-transitory computer-readable record medium storing a program that, when read causes a computer to execute an editing operation for editing material by selecting and combining content portions of said material to produce edited material that is reproduced on a separate information processing apparatus, comprising:

• detecting coordinates of a position of a touch manipulation with respect to a touch panel to produce edit commands;
• storing a command table of editing commands for editing the content portions of the material and that at least includes a command to change a reproduction position of selected content portions of the material reproduced in the separate information processing apparatus, according to the changed reproduction position corresponding to a distance that the touch manipulation moves with respect to the touch panel;
• specifying the command issued to the separate information processing apparatus, from the stored table, based on the detected coordinates and touch manipulation movement;
• and
• displaying in an input material check region content portions of the material to be edited, displaying in an output material check region the edited material to be produced, and displaying in a focus region a focus or command list selected by a user, the focus list identifying the content portions to be edited and the command list identifying predetermined edit commands, wherein the specified command identifies selected content portions displayed in the focus region or selected edit operations based on the detected coordinates and movement of the touch manipulation.
