Abstract
There is provided an information processing device including an imaging section configured to image an object, a display section configured to display at least an icon for controlling the imaging section, an operation section configured to acquire a first operation and a second operation on the icon, and a controller configured to, when the operation section has acquired the first operation, set a timer in accordance with an operation amount of the first operation and change a display of the icon on the display section in accordance with a progress of the timer, and to, when the operation section has acquired the second operation or when the timer has expired, cause the imaging section to image the object.
Claims19
An information processing device comprising:
- a display configured to display an object to be imaged together with at least an icon for controlling an imaging section;
- and
- circuitry configured to
- acquire a first operation and a second operation, wherein the first operation is a drag made in relation to the displayed icon,
- set a timer in accordance with an operation amount of the first operation, wherein the operation amount is represented by a distance of the drag,
- control the display to change a display position of the icon to indicate a progress of the timer, and
- control the imaging section to image the object based on the second operation or based on expiration of the timer, depending upon which one of the acquisition of the second operation or the expiration of the timer occurs first in time,
- wherein a remaining time of the timer is displayed within an area of the icon.
An information processing method comprising:
- displaying on a display an object to be imaged together with at least an icon for controlling an imaging section;
- acquiring a first operation and a second operation, wherein the first operation is a drag made in relation to the displayed icon;
- setting a timer in accordance with an operation amount of the first operation, wherein the operation amount is represented by a distance of the drag;
- controlling the display to change a display position of the icon to indicate a progress of the timer;
- and
- controlling the imaging section to image the object based on the second operation or based on expiration of the timer, depending upon which one of the acquisition of the second operation or the expiration of the timer occurs first in time,
- wherein a remaining time of the timer is displayed within an area of the icon.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute an information processing method, the method comprising:
- displaying on a display an object to be imaged together with at least an icon for controlling an imaging section;
- acquiring a first operation and a second operation, wherein the first operation is a drag made in relation to the displayed icon;
- setting a timer in accordance with an operation amount of the first operation, wherein the operation amount is represented by a distance of the drag;
- controlling the display to change a display position of the icon to indicate a progress of the timer;
- and
- controlling the imaging section to image the object based on the second operation or based on expiration of the timer, depending upon which one of the acquisition of the second operation or the expiration of the timer occurs first in time,
- wherein a remaining time of the timer is displayed within an area of the icon.
