Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing program utilizing gesture based copy and cut operations
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an operation unit; and
a control unit performing a process in response to an operation executed through the operation unit,wherein different gesture operations are able to be assigned to an operation corresponding to copy of information and an operation corresponding to cut of information, respectively,wherein the control unit selects a portion designated by a user in information displayed on a display unit, and then copies the selected portion when the user executes the gesture operation corresponding to the copy through the operation unit, whereas the control unit cuts the selected portion when the user executes the gesture operation corresponding to the cut through the operation unit,wherein a sub-screen that displays a copy of contents of the selected portion is displayed on the display unit upon execution by the user through the operation unit of the gesture operation corresponding to the copy or of the gesture operation corresponding to the cut,wherein, when the user has executed the gesture operation corresponding to the copy through the operation unit and prior to a subsequently executed paste command being received through the operation unit, the control unit, upon receipt of the gesture operation corresponding to the cut executed upon the displayed sub-screen, changes the selected portion from being copied to being cut, andwherein, when the user has executed the gesture operation corresponding to the cut through the operation unit and prior to a subsequently executed paste command being received through the operation unit, the control unit, upon receipt of the gesture operation corresponding to the copy executed upon the displayed sub-screen, changes the selected portion from being cut to being copied.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an operation unit; and a control unit performing a process in response to an operation executed through the operation unit. Different gesture operations are able to be assigned to an operation corresponding to copy of information and an operation corresponding to cut of information, respectively. The control unit selects a portion designated by a user in information displayed on a display unit, and then copies the selected portion when the user executes the gesture operation corresponding to the copy through the operation unit, whereas the control unit cuts the selected portion when the user executes the gesture operation corresponding to the cut through the operation unit.

12. An operation method comprising:
- by a control unit,
selecting a portion designated by a user in information displayed on a display unit; copying the selected portion when the user executes the gesture operation corresponding to copy through an operation unit, whereas cutting the selected portion when the user executes a gesture operation, which is different from the gesture operation corresponding to the copy, corresponding to cut; displaying, upon execution by the user through the operation unit of the gesture operation corresponding to the copy or of the gesture operation corresponding to the cut, a sub-screen on the display unit, the sub-screen displaying a copy of contents of the selected portion, wherein, when the user has executed the gesture operation corresponding to the copy through the operation unit and prior to a subsequently executed paste command being received through the operation unit, the selected portion is changed from being copied to being cut upon receipt of the gesture operation corresponding to the cut executed upon the displayed sub-screen, and wherein, when the user has executed the gesture operation corresponding to the cut through the operation unit and prior to a subsequently executed paste command being received through the operation unit, the selected portion is changed from being cut to being copied upon receipt of the gesture operation corresponding to the copy executed upon the displayed sub-screen.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:
-
selecting a portion designated by a user in information displayed on a display unit; and copying the selected portion when the user executes the gesture operation corresponding to copy through an operation unit, whereas cutting the selected portion when the user executes a gesture operation, which is different from the gesture operation corresponding to the copy, corresponding to cut; displaying, upon execution by the user through the operation unit of the gesture operation corresponding to the copy or of the gesture operation corresponding to the cut, a sub-screen on the display unit, the sub-screen displaying a copy of contents of the selected portion, wherein, when the user has executed the gesture operation corresponding to the copy through the operation unit and prior to a subsequently executed paste command being received through the operation unit, the selected portion is changed from being copied to being cut upon receipt of the gesture operation corresponding to the cut executed upon the displayed sub-screen, and wherein, when the user has executed the gesture operation corresponding to the cut through the operation unit and prior to a subsequently executed paste command being received through the operation unit, the selected portion is changed from being cut to being copied upon receipt of the gesture operation corresponding to the copy executed upon the displayed sub-screen.

14. An information processing apparatus comprising:
-
an operation unit; and a control unit performing a process in response to an operation executed through the operation unit, wherein different gesture operations are able to be assigned to an operation corresponding to copy of information and an operation corresponding to cut of information, respectively, wherein the control unit selects a portion designated by a user in information displayed on a display unit, and then copies the selected portion when the user executes the gesture operation corresponding to the copy through the operation unit, whereas the control unit cuts the selected portion when the user executes the gesture operation corresponding to the cut through the operation unit, wherein a sub-screen that displays a copy of contents of the selected portion is displayed on the display unit upon execution by the user through the operation unit of the gesture operation corresponding to the copy or of the gesture operation corresponding to the cut, and wherein when a displayed portion included in the information is touched and the gesture operation corresponding to the copy or the cut is executed all in a single gesture through the operation unit, the control unit performs processes from selection of the displayed portion to the copy or the cut of the information at once in accordance with the single gesture. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
