INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an input unit configured to input a coordinate value of a position designated on a screen which displays one or a plurality of objects;
a determination unit configured to compare an input locus expressed by a coordinate value string input by the input unit, and a second locus which is defined in advance as a locus used to instruct to execute a process for the object, and to determine whether the input locus is a first locus or the second locus;
a selection unit configured to select, when the determination unit determines that the input locus is the first locus, object from the one or plurality of objects based on display positions of the input locus and the object on the screen; and
an execution unit configured to execute, when the determination unit determines that the input locus is the second locus, a process designated by the input locus with respect to the object selected by the selection unit.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus inputs a coordinate value of a position designated on a screen which displays one or a plurality of objects, compares an input locus expressed by the input coordinate value string with a second locus, which is defined in advance as a locus used to give the instruction to execute a process for an object, and determines whether the input locus is a first locus or the second locus. When it is determined that the input locus is the first locus, the apparatus selects an object from the one or plurality of objects based on the display positions of the input locus and the object on the screen. When it is determined that the input locus is the second locus, the apparatus executes a process designated by the input locus with respect to the selected object.

8. A processing method for an information processing apparatus, comprising:
-
inputting a coordinate value of a position designated on a screen which displays one or a plurality of objects; comparing an input locus expressed by a coordinate value string input in the inputting, and a second locus which is defined in advance as a locus used to instruct to execute a process for the object, and determining whether the input locus is a first locus or the second locus; selecting, when it is determined in the determining that the input locus is the first locus, object from the one or plurality of objects based on display positions of the input locus and the object on the screen; and executing, when it is determined in the determining that the input locus is the second locus, a process designated by the input locus with respect to the object selected in the selecting.

9. A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for making a computer function as:
-
an input unit configured to input a coordinate value of a position designated on a screen which displays one or a plurality of objects; a determination unit configured to compare an input locus expressed by a coordinate value string input by the input unit, and a second locus which is defined in advance as a locus used to instruct to execute a process for the object, and to determine whether the input locus is a first locus or the second locus; a selection unit configured to select, when the determination unit determines that the input locus is the first locus, object from the one or plurality of objects based on display positions of the input locus and the object on the screen; and an execution unit configured to execute, when the determination unit determines that the input locus is the second locus, a process designated by the input locus with respect to the object selected by the selection unit.

10. An information processing apparatus having an input unit configured to input coordinates, comprising:
-
a first acceptance unit configured to accept, as a first locus, a locus of coordinates input via the input unit so as to designate an object as a processing target from objects displayed on a screen; a second acceptance unit configured to accept, as a second locus, a locus of coordinates input via the input unit so as to designate process contents to be executed for the object as the processing target; a processing target decision unit configured to decide objects as processing targets based on the first locus, and a positional relationship between the first locus and the second locus; and an execution unit configured to execute a process based on the process contents accepted by the second acceptance unit with respect to the objects as the processing targets decided by the processing target decision unit. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
