Proportion display apparatus, proportion display method, and recording medium

Abstract

Provided is a proportion display apparatus including a processor that performs a display control process to display, on a display, a predetermined graph that is divided into areas of respective items by a boundary line so as to indicate a quantitative proportion of each of the items; and a change process to change a position of the boundary line in response to a user operation. After the position of the boundary line is changed in the change process, the proportion before and after the change process is shown on the predetermined graph in the display control process.

1 . An information processing apparatus that allows a user to enter a new value of changed proportions of items while showing the user an initial value of predetermined proportions of the items, the information processing apparatus comprising:
 a processor that performs:
 a display control process of (i) associating a first proportion graph to the initial value, the first proportion graph being one of a pair of proportion graphs that show proportions of the items, (ii) associating a second proportion graph to the new value, the second proportion graph being another of the pair of proportion graphs, and (iii) displaying predetermined tick marks and the pair of proportion graphs such that the first proportion graph is between the predetermined tick marks and the second proportion graph; and 
 an entry process of entering the changed proportions shown by the second proportion graph as the new value in response to a predetermined user operation, wherein, in the display control process, 
   the processor displays, as a boundary line that indicates a boundary between the items in the proportion graphs, an indicator which indicates one of the tick marks and which lies across the pair of proportion graphs,   the processor represents the new value by the indicator, and   the processor represents the initial value in a manner different from the indicator.   
     
     
         2 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein, in the display control process,
 the processor represents the proportions of the items of the initial value by varying appearances of areas of the first proportion graph, the areas corresponding to the items, and   the processor represents the proportion of the items of the new value by varying appearances of areas of the second proportion graph, the areas corresponding to the items.   
     
     
         3 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the initial value is a target value, and   the new value is a current value or a past value.   
     
     
         4 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the proportions of the new value can be changed by a user operation of moving a position of the indicator along the tick marks. 
     
     
         5 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the proportion graphs are bar graphs or pie graphs. 
     
     
         6 . An entry method for an information processing apparatus that allows a user to enter a new value of changed proportions of items while showing the user an initial value of predetermined proportions of the items, the method comprising:
 associating a first proportion graph to the initial value, the first proportion graph being one of a pair of proportion graphs that show proportions of the items;   associating a second proportion graph to the new value, the second proportion graph being another of the pair of proportion graphs;   displaying predetermined tick marks and the pair of proportion graphs such that the first proportion graph is between the predetermined tick marks and the second proportion graph; and   entering the changed proportions shown by the second proportion graph as the new value in response to a predetermined user operation,   wherein   an indicator which indicates one of the tick marks and which lies across the pair of proportion graphs is displayed as a boundary line that indicates a boundary between the items in the proportion graphs,   the new value is represented by the indicator, and   the initial value is represented in a manner different from the indicator.   
     
     
         7 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program executed by a processor of an information processing apparatus that allows a user to enter a new value of changed proportions of items while showing the user an initial value of predetermined proportions of the items, the program causing the processor to perform:
 a display control process of (i) associating a first proportion graph to the initial value, the first proportion graph being one of a pair of proportion graphs that show proportions of the items, (ii) associating a second proportion graph to the new value, the second proportion graph being another of the pair of proportion graphs, and (iii) displaying predetermined tick marks and the pair of proportion graphs such that the first proportion graph is between the predetermined tick marks and the second proportion graph; and   an entry process of entering the changed proportions shown by the second proportion graph as the new value in response to a predetermined user operation,   wherein, in the display control process, the program causes the processor to:   display, as a boundary line that indicates a boundary between the items in the proportion graphs, an indicator which indicates one of the tick marks and which lies across the pair of proportion graphs;   represent the new value by the indicator; and   represent the initial value in a manner different from the indicator.
