1. An information processing apparatus having a storage device with computer-readable instructions for animating an object, comprising:
- at least one processor;
an input information recording unit configured to record, when a movement stroke for the object is input, information on moving speed and movement stroke of an input tool used for inputting the movement stroke using the at least one processor; and
an object behaviour control unit configured to animate the object, based on the information on moving speed and movement stroke recorded by the input information recording unit, in such a way that the movement stroke of the input tool and a moving speed at each point in the movement stroke are replicated as an animation for viewing at a later time in response to a user request to replicate a previously recorded user input using the at least one processor.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus is provided which includes an input information recording unit for recording, when a movement stroke for an object is input, information on moving speed and movement stroke of an input tool used for inputting the movement stroke, and an object behavior control unit for moving the object, based on the information on moving speed and movement stroke recorded by the input information recording unit, in such a way that the movement stroke of the input tool and a moving speed at each point in the movement stroke are replicated.

9. A method for animating an object displayed on an electronic device, the method comprising the steps of:
-
recording, when a movement stroke for an object is input to the electronic device, information on moving speed and movement stroke of an input tool used for inputting the movement stroke; and animating the object, based on the information on moving speed and movement stroke recorded in the step of recording, in such a way that the movement stroke of the input tool and a moving speed at each point in the movement stroke are replicated as an animation for viewing at a later time in response to a user request to replicate said recording. - View Dependent Claims (10)

11. An apparatus configured to generate a replicated animation of a user input, wherein the apparatus comprises a graphical user interface configured to:
-
record movement speeds and movement directions of the user input; and generate the replicated animation of the previous user input based on the recorded movement speeds and movement directions, wherein the replicated animation is generated at a later time from the recording of the user input in response to a user request to replicate the previously recorded user input. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
