Abstract

An information processing system includes processing circuitry configured to control a movement of a UI object on a display screen from a pre-recognition position toward a post-recognition position in response to recognition of an operation object initiated by a user, wherein the post-recognition position is spatially related to a displayed position of a predetermined displayed feature, and the predetermined displayed feature is an image derived from a camera captured image.

Claims

1. An information processing system comprising:

processing circuitry configured to

control a movement of a UI object on a display screen from a pre-recognition position toward a post-recognition position in response to recognition of an operation object initiated by a user, wherein the post-recognition position is spatially related to a displayed position of a predetermined displayed feature, and the predetermined displayed feature is an image derived from a camera-captured image.

2. The information processing system of claim 1, wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to vary a mode of approach of the UI object in accordance with a parameter related to the UI object.

3. The information processing system of claim 2, wherein

the mode of approach is non-uniform for the displayed object and other displayed objects such that respective speeds of approach are different for different displayed objects.

4. The information processing system of claim 2, wherein

the parameter is a priority.

5. The information processing system of claim 4, wherein the priority is based on an operation frequency or a recommendation.

6. The information processing system of claim 2, wherein

the mode of approach is non-uniform for the displayed object and other displayed objects such that respective post-recognition displayed positions are different for different displayed objects.

7. The information processing system of claim 2, wherein

a trigger for the movement for the displayed object and another displayed object are different.

8. The information processing system of claim 7, wherein

a first detected gesture triggers a movement of the displayed object and

a second detected gesture triggers a movement of the other displayed object.

9. The information processing system of claim 7, wherein

the displayed object and the other displayed object are displayed in a ring around the operation object.

10. The information processing system of claim 1, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to control a movement of a plurality of UI objects.

11. The information processing system of claim 1, wherein

the post-recognition position for the UI object is different for the UI object than for a different UI object.

12. The information processing system of claim 11, wherein

the post-recognition position is closer to the operation object when the UI object is identified as a higher priority than the different UI object, and further from the operation object when the UI object is identified as a lower priority than the different IA object.

13. The information processing system of claim 1, wherein

the predetermined displayed feature is a body part of the user.

14. The information processing system of claim 1, wherein

the predetermined displayed feature is the operation object.

15. The information processing system of claim 1, wherein

the predetermined displayed feature is a feature of a user image.

16. The information processing system of claim 1, wherein

the predetermined displayed feature is a feature of an action of a user.

17. The information processing system of claim 16, wherein

the processing circuitry is also configured to implement an image recognition unit that recognizes a feature of the user as the operation object.

18. The information processing system of claim 1, wherein

the post-recognition position of the displayed object to the operation Object is a closer distance than the pre-recognition position such that the displayed object moves toward the operation object.

19. An information processing method comprising:

controlling with processing circuitry a movement of a UI object on a display screen from a pre-recognition position toward a post-recognition position in response to recognition of an operation object initiated by a user, wherein the post-recognition position is spatially related to a displayed position of a predetermined displayed feature, and the predetermined displayed feature is an image derived from a camera-captured image.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable instructions that when executed by a processing circuitry perform a method, the method comprising:

controlling with the processing circuitry a movement of a UI object on a display screen from a pre-recognition position toward a post-recognition position in response to recognition of an operation object initiated by a user, wherein the post-recognition position is spatially related to a displayed position of a predetermined displayed feature, the predetermined displayed feature is an image derived from a camera-captured image.
