Information processing apparatus, information processing method and program for improving user operability

Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a positional information acquiring unit acquiring information related to a movement of an operation target by a user operation, and a display control information generating unit generating control information to control display content, based on the information related to the movement. Among a first direction component and a second direction component of the movement, the display control information generating unit preferentially generates the control information for the first direction component.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An information processing device comprising: 
       one or more processors configured to:
 acquire information based on movement of an operation device; and 
 output, based on the acquired information, control information for changing a content of a display based on a positional relationship between the operation device and the information processing device, 
 wherein the positional relationship is used to determine the content to be displayed with respect to at least one of: time, density of the content, and/or a detail level of the content. 
 
     
     
         2 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the positional relationship corresponds to a distance direction between the operation device and the information processing device. 
     
     
         3 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the content of the display is varied with respect to time in history or era based on the positional relationship. 
     
     
         4 . The information processing device according to  claim 3 , wherein the content of the display is related to present time or past time based on the positional relationship. 
     
     
         5 . The information processing device according to  claim 3 , wherein the content of the display at a first positional relationship is related to first content related to a first era, and the content of the display at a second positional relationship is related to second content related to a second era. 
     
     
         6 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the content of the display is an augmented reality information to be displayed on the operation device. 
     
     
         7 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the content of the display is varied with respect to the density of the content. 
     
     
         8 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the density of the content is determined based on the detail level of the content. 
     
     
         9 . The information processing device according to  claim 9 , wherein the content is displayed at a first level of detail at a first positional relationship between the operation device and the information processing device, and the same content is displayed at second level of detail at a second positional relationship. 
     
     
         10 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the density of the content is varied depending on time or era. 
     
     
         11 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the content of the display switches to a picture having more or less detailed background based on the positional relationship. 
     
     
         12 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the positional relationship is determined based on the acquired information. 
     
     
         13 . An information processing method comprising:
 acquiring information based on movement of an operation device; and   outputting, based on the acquired information, control information for changing a content of a display based on a positional relationship between the operation device and the information processing device,   wherein the positional relationship is used to determine the content to be displayed with respect to at least one of: time, density of the content, and/or a detail level of the content.   
     
     
         14 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, a set of computer-executable instructions for causing a computer to perform steps comprising:
 acquiring information based on movement of an operation device; and   outputting, based on the acquired information, control information for changing a content of a display based on a positional relationship between the operation device and the information processing device,   wherein the positional relationship is used to determine the content to be displayed with respect to at least one of: time, density of the content, and/or a detail level of the content.
