Terminal device, information processing method, program, and storage medium
View Patent ↗A terminal device that includes an operation surface; an input detection unit that detects an indicator and determines at least one of a position of the indicator contacting the operation surface and a distance of the indicator from the operation surface in a vertical direction; an operation determination unit that determines information about an operation input by movement information of the indicator detected by the input detection unit; and a control unit that performs predetermined control when a first operation which is an operation performed to move the indicator in a vertical direction away from the operation surface is detected by the operation determination unit.
1. An information processing system comprising:
a display device configured to display an object;
an input detector that detects a movement of a user's fingers as a control operation for the displayed object without the user's fingers touching the display device; and
circuitry configured to
determine that a pinch movement operation is performed in response to the input detector detecting a movement of the user's fingers toward each other into a pinch position, and
change a display state of the displayed object after the pinch movement operation is determined, wherein
the circuitry is configured to control movement of the displayed object after the pinch movement is determined via detection of an additional movement of the user's fingers after the pinch movement operation.
2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to change the display state by controlling movement of the displayed object.
3. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein the circuitry is configured to control movement of the displayed object after the pinch movement operation is determined and when additional movement of the user's fingers while in the pinch position is detected by the input detector.
4. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to change the display state by changing a size of the displayed object.
5. A method, implemented by an information processing system including circuitry, comprising:
displaying, by a display device, an object;
detecting a movement of a user's fingers as a control operation for the displayed object without the user's fingers touching the display device; and
determining that a pinch movement operation is performed in response to the input detector detecting a movement of the user's fingers toward each other into a pinch position, and
changing a display state of the displayed object after the pinch movement operation is determined, wherein
the changing includes controlling movement of the displayed object after the pinch movement is determined via detection of an additional movement of the user's fingers after the pinch movement.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the display state is changed by controlling movement of the displayed object.
7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein movement of the displayed object is controlled after the pinch movement operation is determined and when additional movement of the user's fingers while in the pinch position is detected.
8. An information processing apparatus comprising: a display device configured to display an object: an input detector that detects a movement of a user's fingers as a control operation for the displayed object without the user's fingers touching the display device: and circuitry configured to determine that a pinch movement operation is performed in response to the input detector detecting a movement of the user's fingers toward each other into a pinch position, and change a display state of the displayed object after the pinch movement operation is determined, wherein the changing includes controlling movement of the displayed object after the pinch movement is determined via detection of an additional movement of the user's fingers after the pinch movement.
