Abstract

An information processing device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a display device that displays an image, a user interface that receives a user operation, a detection circuit that detects the user operation to the user interface, and a processing circuit that causes the display device to display the image with a received display magnification when receiving a change operation of a display magnification of the image as the user operation, and causes the display device to display an image object in accordance with a drawing operation when receiving the drawing operation as the user operation. The processing circuit causes the display device to display the image object with a thickness or a size not depending on the display magnification while maintaining a relative positional relationship between the image and the image object.

Claims

1. An information processing device comprising:

a display device that displays an image;

a user interface that receives an operation by a user;

a detection circuit that detects the operation to the user interface by the user; and

a processing circuit that causes the display device to display the image with a received display magnification when receiving a change operation of a display magnification of the image as the operation, and causes the display device to display an image object in accordance with a drawing operation when receiving the drawing operation as the operation,

wherein the processing circuit causes the display device to display the image object with a thickness or a size not depending on the display magnification while maintaining a relative positional relationship between the image and the image object.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein when the drawing operation is an operation regarding drawing of a diagrammatic drawing,

the processing circuit causes the display device to display the image object of the diagrammatic drawing with a thickness not depending on the display magnification.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein when the drawing operation is an operation regarding drawing of a figure,

the processing circuit causes the display device to display the image object of the figure with a size not depending on the display magnification.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein when the change operation of the display magnification of the image is received, and when a parameter α

corresponding to a thickness or a size in the display magnification before the change operation is performed is preset, and yet when the display magnification after the change operation is performed referencing the display magnification before the change operation is N times,

the processing circuit causes the display device to display the image object with a thickness or a size corresponding to a parameter β

defined by β

=α

/N on the image displayed with the received display magnification.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein after the display device is caused to display the image object with a thickness or a size not depending on the display magnification and the change operation of the display magnification is subsequently received,

in response to the change operation of the display magnification, the processing circuit causes the display device to display the image object with a thickness or a size depending on the display magnification while maintaining a relative positional relationship between the image and the image object, and when the thickness or the size of the image object has a predetermined value or less, the processing circuit outputs a notification indicating existence of the image object.

6. The information processing device according to claim 5,

wherein the notification is displayed in a vicinity of a position where the image object exists.

7. The information processing device according to claim 5,

wherein the notification is displayed in a manner as to indicate a position where the image object exists.

8. The information processing device according to claim 5,

wherein the notification includes at least one of vibration, light, and sound.

9. The information processing device according to claim 5,

wherein when the thickness or the size of the image object has the predetermined value or less, the processing circuit causes the display device to display a thumbnail image regarding the image object with a predetermined magnification in a superposed manner.

10. The information processing device according to claim 9,

wherein when receiving an operation by the user of selecting one of the notification and the thumbnail image as the operation to the user interface, the processing circuit displays a remaining one of the notification and the thumbnail image identifiably.

11. The information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein the processing circuit displays the image object written by the drawing operation by the user on the display device.

12. A computer program executed by a processing circuit of an information processing device,

the information processing device comprising a display device that displays an image, a user interface, a detection circuit that detects an operation to the user interface by a user, and a processing circuit,

wherein the computer program causes the processing circuit:

to receive the operation by the user through the user interface;

to cause the display device to display the image with a received display magnification when a change operation of a display magnification of the image is received as the operation; and

to cause the display device to display an image object in accordance with a drawing operation with a thickness or a size not depending on the display magnification while maintaining a relative positional relationship between the image and the image object, when the drawing operation is received as the operation.
