Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus including a processor configured to perform the functions of displaying a cursor configured to select a range of a list screen on which a plurality of icons are arranged, and changing an icon or icons to be selected using the cursor based on an operation of a user while keeping unchanged the number of icons selectable using the cursor.
Claims14
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- control to display a cursor configured to select a plurality of first icons from a first number of the first icons displayed on a first list screen,
- wherein the first number is two or more;
- control to display a second list screen comprising a second number of second icons,
- wherein the second icons are extracted from the plurality of first icons selected by the cursor on the first list screen,
- wherein the second number is equal to or smaller than the first number,
- wherein a number of icons selectable by the cursor is changeable based on a first operation of a user, and
- wherein a third number of icons are selectable by the cursor;
- control to display a third list screen based on a reduction in the number of icons selectable by the cursor from the third number,
- wherein the third list screen is configured to display a fourth number of icons,
- wherein the fourth number is smaller than the third number, and
- wherein size of icons on a fourth list screen is larger than size of icons on the first list screen, and
- control to display the fourth list screen based on an increase in the number of icons selectable by the cursor from the third number,
- wherein the fourth list screen is configured to display a fifth number of icons, and
- wherein the fifth number of icons are extracted from icons selected by the cursor with the increase in the number of icons selectable by the cursor.
A system, comprising:
- at least one information processing apparatuses configured to:
- control to display a cursor configured to select a plurality of first icons from a first number of the first icons displayed on a first list screen,
- wherein the first number is two or more;
- control to display a second list screen comprising a second number of second icons,
- wherein the second icons are extracted from the plurality of first icons selected by the cursor on the first list screen,
- wherein the second number is equal to or smaller than the first number,
- wherein a number of icons selectable by the cursor is changeable based on an operation of a user, and
- wherein a third number of icons are selectable by the cursor,
- control to display a third list screen based on a reduction in the number of icons selectable by the cursor from the third number,
- wherein the third list screen is configured to control to display a fourth number of icons,
- wherein the fourth number is smaller than the third number, and
- wherein size of icons on a fourth list screen is larger than size of icons on the first list screen, and
- control to display the fourth list screen based on an increase in the number of icons selectable by the cursor from the third number,
- wherein the fourth list screen is configured to display a fifth number of icons, and
- wherein the fifth number of icons are extracted from icons selected by the cursor with the increase in the number of icons selectable by the cursor.
An information processing method, comprising:
- displaying a cursor configured to select a plurality of first icons from a first number of the first icons displayed on a first list screen,
- wherein the first number is two or more;
- displaying a second list screen comprising a second number of second icons,
- wherein the second icons are extracted from the plurality of first icons selected by the cursor on the first list screen,
- wherein the second number is equal to or smaller than the first number,
- wherein a number of icons selectable by the cursor is changeable based on an operation of a user, and
- wherein a third number of icons are selectable by the cursor;
- displaying a third list screen based on a reduction in the number of icons selectable by the cursor from the third number,
- wherein the third list screen is configured to display a fourth number of icons,
- wherein the fourth number is smaller than the third number, and
- wherein size of icons on a fourth list screen is larger than size of icons on the first list screen, and
- displaying the fourth list screen based on an increase in the number of icons selectable by the cursor from the third number,
- wherein the fourth list screen is configured to display a fifth number of icons, and
- wherein the fifth number of icons are extracted from icons selected by the cursor with the increase in the number of icons selectable by the cursor from the third number.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions for causing the computer to perform execute operations, the operations comprising:
- displaying a cursor configured to select a plurality of first icons from a first number of the first icons displayed on a first list screen,
- wherein the first number is two or more;
- and
- displaying a second list screen comprising a second number of second icons,
- wherein the second icons are extracted from the plurality of first icons selected by the cursor on the first list screen,
- wherein the second number is equal to or smaller than the first number,
- wherein a number of icons selectable by the cursor is changeable based on a first operation of a user, and
- wherein a third number of icons are selectable by the cursor;
- displaying a third list screen based on a reduction in the third number of icons selectable by the cursor from the third number,
- wherein the third list screen is configured to display a fourth number of icons,
- wherein the fourth number is smaller than the third number, and
- wherein size of icons on a fourth list screen is larger than size of icons on the first list screen, and
- displaying the fourth list screen based on an increase in the third number of icons selectable by the cursor from the third number,
- wherein the fourth list screen is configured to display a fifth number of icons, and
- wherein the fifth number of icons are extracted from icons selected by the cursor with the increase in number of icons selectable by the cursor from the third number.
