Abstract
Provided is a display control apparatus including a display control unit configured to control a display unit in a manner that a plurality of symbols is visibly displayed to a user, and a position acquisition unit configured to acquire information indicating a pointing position for specifying one or more symbols among the plurality of symbols. The display control unit controls the display unit in a manner that a predetermined object is displayed to indicate a group to which the plurality of symbols belongs according to the pointing position.
Claims18
A display control apparatus, comprising:
- a display control unit configured to:
- display, on a display unit, a plurality of symbols that are divided into a plurality of groups based on at least one boundary;
- display, on the display unit, an object based on a pointing position that specifies at least one symbol among the plurality of symbols,
- display, on the display unit, extraction results that are extracted based on a first symbol of the plurality of symbols and a second symbol of the plurality of symbols,
- wherein the first symbol and second symbol belong to a first group of the plurality of groups;
- and
- change the at least one boundary between the plurality of groups based on the extraction results such that the first symbol and the second symbol are arranged in different groups of the plurality of groups;
- and
- a position acquisition unit configured to acquire information based on the pointing position,
- wherein the object indicates a group from the plurality of groups.
A display control method, comprising:
- displaying a plurality of symbols that are divided into a plurality of groups based on at least one boundary;
- acquiring information based on a pointing position for specifying at least one symbol among the plurality of symbols;
- displaying an object based on the pointing position,
- wherein the object indicates a group from the plurality of groups;
- displaying extraction results that are extracted based on a first symbol of the plurality of symbols and a second symbol of the plurality of symbols,
- wherein the first symbol and second symbol belong to a first group of the plurality of groups;
- and
- changing the at least one boundary between the plurality of groups based on the extraction results such that the first symbol and the second symbol are arranged in different groups of the plurality of groups.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computer to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- displaying a plurality of symbols that are divided into a plurality of groups based on at least one boundary;
- acquiring information based on a pointing position for specifying at least one symbol among the plurality of symbols;
- displaying an object based on the pointing position,
- wherein the object indicates a group from the plurality of groups based on the pointing position;
- displaying extraction results that are extracted based on a first symbol of the plurality of symbols and a second symbol of the plurality of symbols,
- wherein the first symbol and second symbol belong to a first group of the plurality of groups;
- and
- changing the at least one boundary between the plurality of groups based on the extraction results such that the first symbol and the second symbol are arranged in different groups of the plurality of groups.
