Moving an object by drag operation on a touch panel

摘要

A contact state of a finger with respect to an object displayed on a first layer is detected. The object is moved onto a second layer and displayed on the second layer in response to detecting that the finger has moved from the contact state to a proximity state with respect to the object and in response to the finger reaching a second layer displayed nearer than the first layer.

1. A method for moving an object displayed with a feeling of depth on a three-dimensional (3-D) display by an information processing apparatus connected to a two-dimensional (2-D) touch panel and an inclination angle sensor for detecting an angle of inclination of the 2-D touch panel capable of data communication therewith, comprising:
detecting a contact state of a finger with respect to a displayed object; in response to detecting a double-click operation on the displayed object at a first position in a depthwise direction, moving the displayed object onto a surface of a display screen of the 3-D display and displaying the object; obtaining the angle of inclination detected by the inclination angle sensor, where the angle of inclination along the display surface at a point where the finger has moved to the contact state with respect to the displayed object is configured as zero degrees; displaying the object inclined at an angle opposite in positive and negative from the obtained angle of inclination on the 3-D display; and moving the object along the angle of inclination at the angle opposite in positive and negative from the obtained angle of inclination on the 3-D display in response to detecting a dragging of the finger, and displaying the object.
