Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a screen, a receiving unit that receives an operation performed on the screen, a display that displays a document having multiple pages on the screen on a page-by-page basis, a processing mode changing unit that, upon detecting a predetermined first operation on the document displayed on the screen, changes from a first processing mode that moves one page at a time to a second processing mode that moves multiple pages, and a moving unit that, upon detecting a predetermined second operation in the second processing mode, moves multiple pages within the document. As the predetermined first operation, the processing mode changing unit detects continued detection of a first position where a drag operation has ended, or detects, while the first position is detected, an operation performed at a second position different from the first position.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a screen;

a receiving unit that receives an operation performed on the screen;

a display that displays a document having a plurality of pages on the screen on a page-by-page basis;

a processing mode changing unit that, upon detecting a predetermined first operation on the document displayed on the screen, changes from a first processing mode that moves one page at a time to a second processing mode that moves a plurality of pages; and

a moving unit that, upon detecting a predetermined second operation in the second processing mode, moves a plurality of pages within the document,

wherein as the predetermined first operation, the processing mode changing unit detects continued detection of a first position where a drag operation has ended, or detects, while the first position is detected, an operation performed at a second position different from the first position.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising

an adjusting unit that adjusts an amount of pages to move in the second processing mode, in accordance with an amount of movement caused by the first operation,

wherein the moving unit moves the amount of pages adjusted by the adjusting unit, upon detecting the predetermined second operation in the second processing mode.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising

a second moving unit that, upon detecting a predetermined third operation in the second processing mode, moves a page within a range of the amount of pages adjusted by the adjusting unit.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the adjusting unit adjusts a direction of page movement in the second processing mode, in accordance with a direction of movement caused by the first operation.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the adjusting unit adjusts a direction of page movement in the second processing mode, in accordance with a direction of movement caused by the first operation.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the adjusting unit adjusts an amount of pages to move forward or backward with respect to a page displayed on the screen.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processing mode changing unit does not change to the second processing mode if the amount of movement caused by the first operation is greater than, or greater than or equal to, a predetermined value.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for processing information, the process comprising:

receiving an operation performed on a screen;

displaying a document having a plurality of pages on the screen on a page-by-page basis;

changing, upon detecting a predetermined first operation on the document displayed on the screen, from a first processing mode that moves one page at a time to a second processing mode that moves a plurality of pages; and

moving, upon detecting a predetermined second operation in the second processing mode, a plurality of pages within the document,

wherein the detecting of the predetermined first operation includes detecting continued detection of a first position where a drag operation has ended, or detecting, while the first position is detected, an operation performed at a second position different from the first position.

9. An information processing method comprising:

receiving an operation performed on a screen;

displaying a document having a plurality of pages on the screen on a page-by-page basis;

changing, upon detecting a predetermined first operation on the document displayed on the screen, from a first processing mode that moves one page at a time to a second processing mode that moves a plurality of pages; and

moving, upon detecting a predetermined second operation in the second processing mode, a plurality of pages within the document,

wherein the detecting of the predetermined first operation includes detecting continued detection of a first position where a drag operation has ended, or detecting, while the first position is detected, an operation performed at a second position different from the first position.
