INFORMATION PROCESSOR, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT
First Claim
1. An information processor comprising:
- a display module configured to display information;
an acceleration detector configured to detect acceleration of the information processor;
a knocking operation detector configured to detect a knocking operation performed on the information processor based on a detection result of the acceleration detector;
a specifying module configured to specify a side among sides of a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on a display screen of the display module, the side associated with a direction toward which the knocking operation on the information processor is performed, wherein the GUI comprises a target to be operated; and
a processing module configured to perform a process associated with the side from among the sides of the GUI specified by the identification module.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, an information processor includes a display module, an acceleration detector, a knocking operation detector, a specifying module, and a processing module. The display module displays information. The acceleration detector detects acceleration generated in the information processor. The knocking operation detector detects that a knocking operation is performed on the information processor based on a detection result of the acceleration detector. The specifying module specifies, among sides of a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on the display screen of the display module, a side on which the knocking operation detected by the knocking operation detector is performed. The processing module performs a process associated in advance with the side of the GUI specified by the specifying module.
