Abstract

An information processing apparatus that controls a display to display first layer data, detects movement of the information processing apparatus, and controls the display to display second layer data corresponding to the first layer data together with the first layer data based on a movement detected by the detection unit.

Claims (45)

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

circuitry configured to

control display of first data and other data on a display;

detect a touch operation on the display at a location within an image representation of the first data;

detect a tilt movement of the information processing apparatus;

select the first data based on the touch operation and the tilt movement of the information processing apparatus; and

control removal of all displayed data, including the other data, on the display that is located outside of the image representation of the first data from the display based on the touch operation and the tilt movement.

2. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to detect swing and rotation movements of the information processing apparatus and angles of respective movements from a predetermined reference point.

3. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

the display;

a touch sensor on the display, the touch sensor detecting the touch operation, wherein

the circuitry is further configured to transmit the first data to one of a plurality of devices based on a movement of the information processing apparatus in a first and a second direction detected by the circuitry; and

the one of the plurality of devices reproduces the first data.

4. The information processing apparatus of claim 3 , wherein

the circuitry controls the display to display second data upon receiving an input selecting the first data at the touch panel, and

the second data corresponds to a process to be performed on the first data.

5. The information processing apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the circuitry controls the display to display the second data upon receiving the input selecting the first data at the touch panel, the second data being different from the first data.

6. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry controls a process corresponding to the first data based on a selection corresponding to a process to be performed on the first data.

7. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the circuitry controls display of second data based on a movement of the information processing apparatus in a first direction detected by the circuitry, and

the second data corresponds to a process to be performed on the first data.

8. The information processing apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the circuitry controls display of the second data based on a movement of the information processing apparatus in a second direction detected by the circuitry, the second direction different from the first direction.

9. The information processing apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the circuitry controls display of a plurality of graphics corresponding to the second data based on a movement of the information processing apparatus in the second direction detected by the circuitry.

10. The information processing apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of graphics correspond to a playlist.

11. The information processing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein, upon selection of one of the plurality of graphics, the circuitry adds a corresponding item of the first data to the playlist.

12. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the circuitry controls display of a plurality of graphics corresponding to second data based on a movement of the information processing apparatus in a first direction detected by the circuitry, and

the second data corresponds to a process to be performed on the first data.

13. The information processing apparatus of claim 12 , wherein each of the graphics corresponds to the process to be performed on the first data.

14. The information processing apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the each of the plurality of graphics corresponds to a process of transferring the first data to a respective one of a plurality of devices capable of reproducing the first data.

15. The information processing apparatus of claim 14 , wherein, upon selection of one of the plurality of graphics, the circuitry instructs one of the plurality of devices corresponding to the one of the plurality of graphics to reproduce the first data.

16. The information processing apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the circuitry controls display of a scrolling operation of the plurality of graphics corresponding to the second data based on a movement of the information processing apparatus in a second direction different from the first direction.

17. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry includes a GPS device, geomagnetic sensor, acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, or atmospheric pressure sensor.

18. A method performed by an information processing apparatus including circuitry, the method comprising:

controlling, by the circuitry, display of first data and other data on a display;

detecting, by the circuitry, a touch operation on the display at a location within an image representation of the first data;

detecting, by the circuitry, a tilt movement of the information processing apparatus;

selecting, by the circuitry, an item of the first layer data based on the touch operation and the tilt movement of the information processing apparatus; and

controlling, by the circuitry, removal of all displayed data, including the other data, on the display that is located outside of the image representation of the first data from the display based on the touch operation and the tilt movement.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer program executable instructions, which when executed by an information processing apparatus, cause the information processing apparatus to:

control display of first data and other data on a display;

detect a touch operation on the display at a location within an image representation of the first data;

detect a tilt movement of the information processing apparatus;

select an item of the first layer data based on the touch operation and the tilt movement of the information processing apparatus; and

control removal of all displayed data, including the other data, on the display that is located outside of the image representation of the first data from the display based on the touch operation and the tilt movement.
