METHOD OF CHANGING LAYOUT OF OBJECTS, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18598043 titled 'METHOD OF CHANGING LAYOUT OF OBJECTS, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can detect and change the position or size of a master object displayed on a screen, along with subordinate objects in a symmetric arrangement relationship.
- Detection unit to detect changes in position or size of master object
- Another detection unit to detect subordinate objects in symmetric arrangement
- Changing unit to adjust position or size of master and subordinate objects while maintaining symmetry
Potential Applications: - Graphic design software - User interface design tools - Interactive presentations
Problems Solved: - Ensures consistent and balanced layout of objects on a screen - Streamlines the process of adjusting object positions
Benefits: - Improved visual aesthetics - Enhanced user experience - Efficient design workflow
Commercial Applications: Title: Symmetric Object Arrangement Technology for Graphic Design Software This technology can be utilized in graphic design software to streamline the process of arranging and adjusting objects on a screen, improving the overall user experience and design workflow. This innovation has the potential to attract users looking for efficient and visually appealing design tools.
Questions about Symmetric Object Arrangement Technology: 1. How does this technology impact the efficiency of design workflows? This technology significantly improves the efficiency of design workflows by simplifying the process of arranging and adjusting objects on a screen, saving time and effort for designers.
2. What are the key benefits of maintaining a symmetric arrangement relationship between objects? Maintaining a symmetric arrangement relationship between objects enhances the visual aesthetics of the design, creating a more balanced and harmonious composition on the screen.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes a detection unit configured to detect an operation of changing a position or a size of a master object which is displayed on a screen, another detection unit configured to detect detecting at least one subordinate object, which is displayed on the screen and in a symmetric arrangement relationship with the master object, and a changing unit configured to change the position or the size of the master object and a position or a size of the at least one subordinate object according to the operation while maintaining the symmetric arrangement relationship between the master object and the at least one subordinate object.
