METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OUTPUTTING DISPLAY DATA BASED ON A TOUCH OPERATION ON A TOUCH PANEL

摘要

An apparatus includes a touch panel display including one or more sensors for detecting an input operation by an instruction object. The apparatus includes circuitry that acquires one or more coordinates corresponding to one or more positions of the instruction object on the touch panel display, and determines whether a current condition of the instruction object during the input operation is an up condition or a down condition. The circuitry determines, when the current condition is the down condition, based on one or more previous conditions of the instruction object stored in a memory, whether the previous condition immediately preceding the current condition is the up condition and if so, converts the immediately preceding previous condition to the up condition. The circuitry controls the touch panel display to output a continuous line corresponding to the acquired one or more coordinates at which the instruction object is in the down condition.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a touch panel display including one or more sensors for detecting an input operation by an instruction object on an operation surface of the touch panel display; and circuitry configured to:
acquire, from the one or more sensors, one or more coordinates corresponding to one or more positions of the instruction object on the operation surface of the touch panel display during the input operation;determine, as a first determination based on an output from the one or more sensors in response to detecting the input operation, a current condition of the instruction object during the input operation, the current condition being an up condition or a down condition;determine, as a second determination when the current condition of the instruction object is the down condition, based on one or more previous conditions of the instruction object stored in a memory, whether the previous condition immediately preceding the current condition is the up condition;convert, when the previous condition immediately preceding the current condition is the up condition, the immediately preceding previous condition to the down condition and update the one or more previous conditions stored in the memory based on the conversion result;control, based on the one or more acquired coordinates and the one or more previous conditions stored in the memory, the touch panel display to output a continuous line in the interface corresponding to the acquired one or more coordinates at which the instruction object is determined to be in the down condition, wherein the down condition corresponds to a state in which the instruction object is within a predetermined range from the operation surface of the touch panel display, and the up condition corresponds to a state in which the instruction object is outside the predetermined range from the operation surface of the touch panel display, and a shape of the continuous line corresponds to a movement of the instruction object on the operation surface of the touch panel display during the input operation.
