Information processing apparatus and method
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus that has a touch-sensitive panel for processing a gesture input performed via the touch-sensitive panel, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- an acceptance unit configured to accept an instruction from a user for transitioning from a first processing state to a second processing state;
a setting unit configured to set a number of operations in accordance with the instruction accepted by the acceptance unit;
a replication unit configured to generate replicated images of an object in a number equivalent to the number of operations set by the setting unit and to replace an original image of the object with the replicated images; and
a processing unit configured to execute, after transitioning from the first processing state to the second processing state, processing on the replicated images in accordance with a gesture input, and to execute, if the replicated images no longer exist, processing of the first processing state in accordance with the gesture input,wherein the first processing state is a state in which image advance processing for changing over displayed images in order to view images by gesture input is executed, andwherein the second processing state is a state in which processing for allocating images, in order to subsequently print grouped images collectively, by gesture input is executed.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus having a touch-sensitive panel and processing a gesture input performed via the touch-sensitive panel accepts an instruction from a user for transitioning from a first processing state to a second processing state; sets a number of gesture-input-based operations in accordance with the instruction accepted; and executes corresponding processing as a gesture input in the second processing state with regard to gesture inputs of the number of operations set. The information processing apparatus executes corresponding processing as a gesture input in the first processing state with regard to a gesture input after the gesture inputs of the number of operations have been performed.

8. An information processing method that has a touch-sensitive panel for processing a gesture input performed via the touch-sensitive panel, the information processing method comprising steps of:
-
accepting an instruction from a user for transitioning from a first processing state to a second processing state; setting a number of operations in accordance with the instruction accepted by the accepting step; generating replicated images of an object in a number equivalent to the number of operations set in the setting step and replacing an original image of the object with the replicated images; and executing, after transitioning from the first processing state to the second processing state, processing on the replicated images in accordance with a gesture input, and executing, if the replicated images no longer exist, processing of the first processing state in accordance with the gesture input, wherein the first processing state is a state in which image advance processing for changing over displayed images in order to view images by gesture input is executed, and wherein the second processing state is a state in which processing for allocating images, in order to subsequently print grouped images collectively, by gesture input is executed.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that when executed causes a computer to perform an information processing method comprising steps of:
-
accepting an instruction from a user for transitioning from a first processing state to a second processing state; setting a number of operations in accordance with the instruction accepted by the accepting step; generating replicated images of an object in a number equivalent to the number of operations set in the setting step and replacing an original image of the object with the replicated images; and executing, after transitioning from the first processing state to the second processing state, processing on the replicated images in accordance with a gesture input, and executing, if the replicated images no longer exist, processing of the first processing state in accordance with the gesture input, wherein the first processing state is a state in which image advance processing for changing over displayed images in order to view images by gesture input is executed, and wherein the second processing state is a state in which processing for allocating images, in order to subsequently print grouped images collectively, by gesture input is executed.

10. An information processing apparatus that has a touch-sensitive panel for processing a gesture input performed via the touch-sensitive panel, the information processing apparatus comprising:
-
an acceptance unit configured to accept an instruction from a user for transitioning from a first processing state to a second processing state; a setting unit configured to set a number of operations in accordance with the instruction accepted by the acceptance unit; a replication unit configured to generate replicated images of an object in a number equivalent to the number of operations set by the setting unit and to replace an original image of the object with the replicated images; and a processing unit configured to execute, after transitioning from the first processing state to the second processing state, processing on the replicated images in accordance with a gesture input, and to execute, if the replicated images no longer exist, processing of the first processing state in accordance with the gesture input, wherein the processing unit displays the replicated images on a display screen while shifting the replicated images such that the replicated images are displayed in a different manner than a normal image, and wherein a prescribed gesture input in a canceling unit aligns one of the replicated images with an image other than the normal image.
