ABSTRACT:
A user interface method includes acquiring a shape of an object arrangement area entered by a user's sketch operation; acquiring an object conversion parameter based on the acquired shape of the object arrangement area; acquiring a symbol entered by a user's sketch operation; searching registered objects for a display object associated with the acquired symbol; converting initial data of the display object to form a converted display object based on the object conversion parameter; and displaying the converted display object in the object arrangement area.
