Image processing device, non-transitory computer readable medium, and image processing method

Abstract

An apparatus is configured to: cause a display to display a GUI comprising a plurality of items; receive user input that is scribed over any of the plurality of items displayed on the display; provide the user with a substantially real-time feedback of the scribing by applying digital ink indicating a scribed line on the GUI; select a first item of the plurality of items based on a position of the scribing within the GUI; recognize a trail of the scribed line; in response to the trail of the scribed line being recognized as a first predetermined trail, perform, on the first item, first processing corresponding to the first predetermined trail; and in response to the trail of the scribed line being recognized as a second predetermined trail, perform second processing on the first item. The second processing corresponds to the second predetermined trail and is from the first processing.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An information processing apparatus comprising a processor configured to:
 cause a display to display a graphical user interface comprising a plurality of items;   receive an input from a user, the input being scribing over any of the plurality of items displayed on the display;   provide the user with a substantially real-time feedback of the scribing by applying digital ink indicating a scribed line on the graphical user interface;   select a first item of the plurality of items based on a position of the scribing within the graphical user interface;   recognize a trail of the scribed line;   in response to the trail of the scribed line being recognized as a first predetermined trail, perform first processing on the first item, the first processing corresponding to the first predetermined trail; and   in response to the trail of the scribed line being recognized as a second predetermined trail, perform second processing on the first item, the second processing corresponding to the second predetermined trail and being different from the first processing,   wherein the selecting of the first item is based at least in part on a middle portion of the scribed line.   
     
     
         2 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first processing comprises updating a current parameter of the first item to an updated parameter corresponding to the first predetermined trail. 
     
     
         3 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein an indication of the current parameter is visually displayed prior to the scribing of the scribed trail and then, after the scribing of the scribed trail, an indication of the updated parameter is visually displayed. 
     
     
         4 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the selecting of the first item is based on more than one point on the scribed trail. 
     
     
         5 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the selecting of the first item is based on more than one point on the scribed trail. 
     
     
         6 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the selecting of the first item based at least in part on a portion of the scribed trail other than a start point of the scribed trail. 
     
     
         7 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the selecting of the first item based at least in part on a portion of the scribed trail other than a start point of the scribed trail. 
     
     
         8 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of items are a plurality of visible, selectable graphical user interface components. 
     
     
         9 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the plurality of visible, selectable graphical user interface components are options from which the user can make a selection. 
     
     
         10 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to, when updating the current parameter of the first item to the updated parameter, provide the user with a visual feedback indicating that the current parameter of the first item is updated to the updated parameter, and wherein the visual feedback is different from the digital ink indicating the scribed trail. 
     
     
         11 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein each of the plurality of items displays a text string indicating the current parameter of the respective item, and wherein the visual feedback changes the text string from a first value that is displayed to a second value indicating the updated parameter. 
     
     
         13 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the second processing is setting a second parameter corresponding to the second predetermined trail to the first item. 
     
     
         14 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute information processing, the information processing comprising:
 causing a display to display a graphical user interface comprising a plurality of items;   receiving an input from a user, the input being scribing over any of the plurality of items displayed on the display;   providing the user with a substantially real-time feedback of the scribing by applying digital ink indicating a scribed line on the graphical user interface;   selecting a first item of the plurality of items based on a position of the scribing within the graphical user interface;   recognizing a trail of the scribed line;   in response to the trail of the scribed line being recognized as a first predetermined trail, performing first processing on the first item, the first processing corresponding to the first predetermined trail; and   in response to the trail of the scribed line being recognized as a second predetermined trail, performing second processing on the first item, the second processing corresponding to the second predetermined trail and being different from the first processing,   wherein the selecting of the first item is based at least in part on a middle portion of the scribed line.
