Abstract

An information processing device includes a selection accepting unit that accepts selection of three or more objects among a plurality of displayed objects, a movement control unit that moves one or more objects in accordance with movement of input position related to selection of one or more objects among the selected objects, and a processing execution unit that executes specified processing using information related to the moved object on each of a plurality of fixed objects when a position of the moved object is included in a determination area for the fixed object. Processing on the plurality of fixed objects is thereby executed at a time simply by performing the operation of moving the position of one moved object into the determination area for the fixed object.

Claims

1. An information processing device including a display unit configured to display an image containing a plurality of objects and a detection unit configured to be able to detect input from a user indicating a position on the display unit and formed integrally with the display unit, comprising:

a selection accepting unit configured to accept selection of three or more objects based on input by a user detected by the detection unit;

a movement control unit configured to move one or more objects in accordance with selection of the one or more objects among the objects for which selection is accepted by the selection accepting unit and movement of an input position related to selection of the objects; and

a processing execution unit configured to, when a position of one moved object among the one or more moved objects moved by the movement control unit is included in a determination area set based on positions of a plurality of fixed objects not moved by the movement control unit among the objects for which selection is accepted by the selection accepting unit as a result of movement of the object by the movement control unit, execute specified processing on each of the plurality of fixed objects using information related to the moved object.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein

the processing execution unit executes the specified processing when the input position related to selection of the moved object that has been detected in the determination area becomes not detected in the determination area without detection of movement of the input position out of the determination area.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein

the processing execution unit displays information related to the moved object in association with each of the plurality of fixed objects displayed on the display unit after the position of the one moved object is included in the determination area for the fixed object and before executing the specified processing.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein

when the moved object is identification information identifying a file and the fixed objects are folders capable of storing files, the processing execution unit stores the file into each of the plurality of folders as the specified processing.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein

when the moved object is identification information identifying a file and the fixed objects are folders capable of storing files, if the file related to the moved object is already stored in the folders related to the fixed objects, the processing execution unit deletes the file stored in the folders as the specified processing.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein

the processing execution unit reflects attribute information related to the moved object on each of the fixed objects as the specified processing.

7. The information processing device according to claim 6, wherein

the processing execution unit causes the display unit to display a plurality of attribute information of the moved object, accepts input of selection of one or more attribute information among the plurality of displayed attribute information by a user, and reflects the selected attribute information on each of the fixed objects before executing the specified processing.

8. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein

a plurality of objects are moved by the movement control unit,

the plurality of moved objects moved by the movement control unit are objects having attribute information related to values, and

the processing execution unit executes processing in accordance with an amount of values in the attribute information of the plurality of moved objects on each of fixed objects.

9. An information processing method in an information processing device including a display unit configured to display an image containing a plurality of objects and a detection unit configured to be able to detect input from a user indicating a position on the display unit and formed integrally with the display unit, the method comprising:

a selection accepting step of accepting selection of three or more objects based on input by a user detected by the detection unit;

a movement control step of moving one or more objects in accordance with selection of the one or more objects among the objects for which selection is accepted in the selection accepting step and movement of an input position related to selection of the objects; and

a processing execution step of, when a position of one moved object among the one or more moved objects moved in the movement control step is included in a determination area set based on positions of a plurality of fixed objects not moved in the movement control step among the objects for which selection is accepted in the selection accepting step as a result of movement of the object in the movement control step, executing specified processing on each of the plurality of fixed objects using information related to the moved object.

10. (canceled)
