Patent Images
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a direction detection unit that detects a drawing direction of a locus drawn in an input process of a gesture when the gesture is input;
a gesture search unit that searches for the gesture matching the drawing direction of the locus detected by the direction detection unit from among a plurality of predetermined gestures; and
an auxiliary information display unit that displays a search result by the gesture search unit in a screen as auxiliary information each time the drawing direction of the locus is detected by the direction detection unit.

7. A method for displaying auxiliary information, comprising the steps of:
-
detecting a drawing direction of a locus drawn in an input process of a gesture when the gesture is input; searching for the gesture matching the drawing direction of the locus detected by the direction detection step from among a plurality of predetermined gestures; and displaying a search result by the gesture search step in a screen as auxiliary information each time the drawing direction of the locus is detected by the direction detection step.
