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 (47)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a circuitry configured to

initiate an acquisition of a plurality of input operations performed with respect to a selected background image,

record image data in response to each input operation of the plurality of input operations and an acquisition duration from a start of the input operation to an end of the input operation,

set a period of an animation corresponding to each input operation in accordance with the acquisition duration for the input operation, the animation corresponding to an order of the input operation, and

initiate a reproduction of the recorded image data along with the selected background image for the period of the animation set for each input operation,

wherein each interval of one or more intervals between periods of animations corresponding to the plurality of input operations during the reproduction of the recorded image data is shorter than a corresponding interval of one or more intervals between the plurality of input operations, and

wherein a ratio of each interval between periods of animations with respect to the corresponding interval between input operations is less than a ratio of the period of the animation set for each input operation during the reproduction of the recorded image data with respect to the acquisition duration of the input operation.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein each input operation is acquired in the acquisition duration and the corresponding animation is displayed in a reproduction duration different from the acquisition duration.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the reproduction duration is shorter than the acquisition duration.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein each input operation is acquired over the acquisition duration of time, which is different than a duration of time utilized for the displaying of the corresponding animation in reproducing the recorded image data.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the acquisition duration of time utilized for the displaying of the animation in reproducing the recorded image data is shorter than the acquisition duration of time over which the input operation is acquired.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the recorded image data is reproduced as a message.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein each animation is displayed in correspondence with a sequence by which strokes of the corresponding input operation are provided by the user.

8. An information processing method comprising:

acquiring a plurality of input operations performed with respect to a selected background image;

recording image data in response to each input operation of the plurality of input operations and an acquisition duration from a start of the input operation to an end of the input operation;

setting a period of an animation corresponding to each input operation in accordance with the acquisition duration for the input operation, the animation corresponding to an order of the input operation; and

reproducing the recorded image data along with the selected background image for the period of the animation set for each input operation,

wherein each interval of one or more intervals between periods of animations corresponding to the plurality of input operations during reproduction of the recorded image data is shorter than a corresponding interval of one or more intervals between the plurality of input operations, and

wherein a ratio of each interval between periods of animations with respect to the corresponding interval between input operations is less than a ratio of the period of the animation set for each input operation during the reproduction of the recorded image data with respect to the acquisition duration of the input operation.

9. The information processing method according to claim 8 ,

wherein each input operation is acquired in the acquisition duration and the corresponding animation is displayed in a reproduction duration different from the acquisition duration.

10. The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the reproduction duration is shorter than the acquisition duration.

11. The information processing method according to claim 9 ,

wherein each input operation is acquired over the acquisition duration of time, which is different than a duration of time utilized for the displaying of the corresponding animation in reproducing the recorded image data.

12. The information processing method according to claim 11 ,

wherein the acquisition duration of time utilized for the displaying of the animation in reproducing the recorded image data is shorter than the acquisition duration of time over which the input operation is acquired.

13. The information processing method according to claim 8 , wherein the recorded image data is reproduced as a message.

14. The information processing method according to claim 8 ,

wherein each animation is displayed in correspondence with a sequence by which strokes of the corresponding input operation are provided by the user.

15. 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 a plurality of input operations performed with respect to a selected background image;

recording image data in response to each input operation of the plurality of input operations and an acquisition duration from a start of the input operation to an end of the input operation;

setting a period of an animation corresponding to each input operation in accordance with the acquisition duration for the input operation, the animation corresponding to an order of the input operation; and

reproducing the recorded image data along with the selected background image for the period of the animation set for each input operation,

wherein each interval of one or more intervals between animations corresponding to the plurality of input operations during reproduction of the recorded image data is shorter than a corresponding interval of one or more intervals between the plurality of input operations, and

wherein a ratio of each interval between periods of animations with respect to the corresponding interval between input operations is less than a ratio of the period of the animation set for each input operation during the reproduction of the recorded image data with respect to the acquisition duration of the input operation.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein in the executed method, each input operation is acquired in the acquisition duration and the corresponding animation is displayed in a reproduction duration different from the acquisition duration.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 16 , wherein in the executed method, the reproduction duration is shorter than the acquisition duration.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein in the executed method, each input operation is acquired over the acquisition duration of time, which is different than a duration of time utilized for the displaying of the corresponding animation in reproducing the recorded image data.

19. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the acquisition duration of the input operation is compared with at least one threshold in order to determine a relative difference between the acquisition duration and the reproduction duration.
