METHOD AND APPARATUS OF CONTROLLING AN INTERFACE BASED ON TOUCH OPERATIONS
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a touch panel display that displays an interface including at least one of one or more character strings and one or more images, the touch panel display including one or more sensors for detecting an input operation by one or more instruction objects on the touch panel display; and
circuitry configured to;
control the touch panel display such that an initial selection range of the at least one of the one or more character strings and the one or more images is displayed;
determine an initial coordinate corresponding to a position on an operation surface of the touch panel display at which the input operation is initially performed;
determine a speed at which the instruction object moves on the operation surface during the input operation; and
selectively determine, based on a predetermined condition of the input operation, a first mode and a second mode of altering the displayed initial selection range, whereinthe initial selection range includes a starting point and an end point that are displayed on the touch panel display,the circuitry alters the initial selection range by controlling the touch panel display such that, in response to the detection of the input operation and based on the selectively determined mode, at least one of the displayed starting point and the displayed end point are moved at a predetermined speed from their initial positions,when the circuitry determines the initial selection range is altered in accordance with the first mode, the circuitry controls the touch panel display such that the predetermined speed is different than the detected speed at which the instruction object moves on the operation surface, andwhen the circuitry determines the initial selection range is altered in accordance with the second mode, the circuitry controls the touch panel display such that the predetermined speed is substantially the same as the detected speed at which the instruction object moves on the operation surface.

Abstract
An apparatus includes a touch panel display and circuitry for controlling the touch panel display such that an initial selection range of at least one of one or more character strings and one or more images is displayed. The circuitry determines, based on a predetermined condition of an input operation, a first mode and a second mode of altering the initial selection range. The circuitry alters the initial selection range by controlling the touch panel display such that, in response to a detection of the input operation and based on the determined mode, a starting point and/or an end point of the initial selection range are moved at a predetermined speed. The circuitry respectively controls the touch panel display under the first mode and the second mode such that the predetermined speed is different than, or the same as, a speed that the instruction object moves on the operation surface.
