INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18507583 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can identify a user-designated location on a screen and display different types of pop-ups based on user actions.
- The apparatus includes an identification unit to identify the user-designated location on the screen.
- The control unit displays different types of pop-ups, such as a first type that appears when a job starts and closes when the job ends, and a second type that closes when the user designates a location outside its region.
- If the user designates a location outside the region of the first type pop-up while it is displayed, the control unit offers an option to end the job on the screen.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in software applications where users need to designate specific locations or actions on a screen. - It could enhance user experience by providing relevant pop-ups based on user interactions.
Problems Solved: - Helps users easily identify and interact with pop-ups on a screen. - Streamlines the process of ending a job or task on a software application.
Benefits: - Improved user interface experience. - Efficient handling of job or task completion on a screen.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced User Interface Technology for Software Applications This technology could be valuable for software developers looking to improve user interaction and experience in their applications. It could be applied in various industries such as gaming, productivity tools, and e-commerce platforms to enhance user engagement and streamline processes.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve user interaction on a screen? - This technology enhances user experience by providing relevant pop-ups based on user actions, making it easier for users to navigate and interact with software applications.
2. What are the potential benefits for software developers using this technology? - Software developers can improve the user interface of their applications, leading to increased user satisfaction and engagement.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes: an identification unit configured to identify a location designated by a user on a screen being displayed on a display unit; and a control unit, in which types of a pop-up displayed on the screen include at least a first type which is a type of a pop-up displayed once a job starts and closed once the job ends and a second type which is a type of a pop-up closed once the user designates a location outside a region of the pop-up, and in a case where the pop-up being displayed on the screen is the pop-up of the first type and then the user designates a location outside the region of the pop-up of the first type, the control unit displays, on the screen, an option for ending the job.
