Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus including an operation unit acquiring an input operation for a message composed of at least one of text and an image, a recording control unit recording the message in accordance with the acquired input operation, and a reproduction control unit reproducing the recorded message to display the message on a display unit.

Claims (46)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a circuitry configured to

initiate an acquisition of an input operation for a message comprising at least one of text and an image;

record a duration of the input operation; and

initiate a reproduction of the message to display the message on a display unit in accordance with the acquired input operation,

wherein the display unit is configured to allow a plurality of users to interface with the information processing apparatus to publicly display messages on the display unit, and

wherein, when the duration of the input operation exceeds a first threshold, an animation of the message is reproduced by making a duration of reproduction of the animation shorter than the duration of the input operation.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the animation of the message is reproduced by making the duration of reproduction shorter than the duration of the input operation for an interval in input of the message during the input operation.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein an entire image of the message and the animation of the message are reproduced in parallel.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the message is divided into a plurality of parts and animation of the respective parts is reproduced in parallel.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the information processing apparatus further comprises the display unit.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display unit is located remotely from the information processing apparatus.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the circuitry is further configured to

initiate an acquisition of a second input operation for a second message comprising at least one of text and an image,

wherein a reproduction of the second message to display the second message on the display unit is controlled so as to avoid conflict with the reproduction of the message or an operation performed on the message.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the circuitry is further configured to

control the reproduction of the second message such that the second message is not being reproduced at a time concurrent with when the message is being reproduced or when the operation is being performed on the message.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the circuitry is further configured to

initiate an ending of reproduction of the message prior to initiating the reproduction of the second message to display the second message on the display unit.

10. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a circuitry configured to

initiate an acquisition of an input operation for a message comprising at least one of text and an image;

record a duration of the input operation; and

initiate a reproduction of the message to display the message on a display unit in accordance with the acquired input operation,

wherein the display unit is configured to allow a plurality of users to interface with the information processing apparatus to publicly display messages on the display unit, and

wherein, when the duration of the input operation is shorter than a second threshold, an animation of the message is reproduced by making a duration of reproduction of the animation shorter than the duration of the input operation.

11. An information processing method comprising:

acquiring an input operation for a message comprising at least one of text and an image;

recording a duration of the input operation; and

reproducing the message to display the message on a display unit in accordance with the acquired input operation,

wherein the display unit is configured to allow a plurality of users to interface to publicly display messages on the display unit, and

wherein, when the duration of the input operation exceeds a first threshold, an animation of the message is reproduced by making a duration of reproduction of the animation shorter than the duration of the input operation.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a program embodied thereon, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute an information processing method, the method comprising:

acquiring an input operation for a message comprising at least one of text and an image;

recording a duration of the input operation; and

reproducing the message to display the message on a display unit in accordance with the acquired input operation,

wherein the display unit is configured to allow a plurality of users to interface to publicly display messages on the display unit, and

wherein, when the duration of the input operation exceeds a first threshold, an animation of the message is reproduced by making a duration of reproduction of the animation shorter than the duration of the input operation.
