Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a control section which, if it is determined that a first object is selected by an operating body, causes a second object, which is obtained by duplicating a part or all of the first object, to be displayed at a predetermined position on a second display surface, and if it is determined that the second object is selected by the operating body, hides the first object displayed at the position indicated by object coordinate information and also updates the object coordinate information with in-second display surface destination coordinate information.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

circuitry configured to;

based on a determination that a first object displayed on a first display surface, which represents a content data stored in a storage section, is selected based on a contacting with the first display surface by an operating body, cause a second object, which is related to the content data, to be displayed on a second display surface being different from the first display surface, at a same time of displaying of the first object; and

based on a determination that the second object is selected based on a contacting with the second display surface by the operating body, cause the first object displayed on the first display surface to be hidden.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the second object comprises a duplication of a part or all of the first object.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the second object is moved within the second display surface based on a movement of the operating body while in contact with the first display surface.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein if it is determined that the second object is not selected by the operating body for a predetermined time from a start of a display of the second object, the circuitry causes the second object to be hidden.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry causes the second object to be displayed at a luminance lower than a luminance of the first object.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry causes the second object to be displayed in a translucent or blinking manner.

7. An information processing method, comprising:

causing, based on a determination that a first object displayed on a first display surface, which represents a content data stored in a storage section, is selected based on a contacting with the first display surface by an operating body, a second object, which is related to the content data, to be displayed on a second display surface being different from the first display surface, at a same time of displaying of the first object; and

causing, based on a determination that the second object is selected based on a contacting with the second display surface by the operating body, the first object displayed on the first display surface to be hidden.

8. The information processing method according to claim 7, wherein the second object comprises a duplication of a part or all of the first object.

9. The information processing method according to claim 7, wherein the second object is moved within the second display surface based on a movement of the operating body while in contact with the first display surface.

10. The information processing method according to claim 7, wherein if it is determined that the second object is not selected by the operating body for a predetermined time from a start of a display of the second object, the second object is caused to be hidden.

11. The information processing method according to claim 7, wherein the second object is caused to be displayed at a luminance lower than a luminance of the first object.

12. The information processing method according to claim 7, wherein the second object is caused to be displayed in a translucent or blinking manner.

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:

causing, based on a determination that a first object displayed on a first display surface, which represents a content data stored in a storage section, is selected based on a contacting with the first display surface by an operating body, a second object, which is related to the content data, to be displayed on a second display surface being different from the first display surface, at a same time of displaying of the first object; and

causing, based on a determination that the second object is selected based on a contacting with the second display surface by the operating body, the first object displayed on the first display surface to be hidden.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 13, wherein in the executed method, the second object comprises a duplication of a part or all of the first object.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 13, wherein in the executed method, the second object is moved within the second display surface based on a movement of the operating body while in contact with the first display surface.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 13, wherein in the executed method, if it is determined that the second object is not selected by the operating body for a predetermined time from a start of a display of the second object, the second object is caused to be hidden.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 13, wherein in the executed method, the second object is caused to be displayed at a luminance lower than a luminance of the first object.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 13, wherein in the executed method, the second object is caused to be displayed in a translucent or blinking manner.
