The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program, and particularly to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program which enable display of a search result in an easily viewable manner.
In recent years, an information processing apparatus provided with a pop-up dictionary function has been distributed. According to such an information processing apparatus, at least a part of information being displayed is made to function as a search key, searching is performed from a search target such as a web page or a dictionary, and a search result is displayed in a pop-up manner.
Accordingly, there is a requirement for searching during execution of an application other than a specific application such as a plug-in of a web browser and a requirement for using an originally created file, for example, other than the web page and the dictionary as a search target. In a case where the information processing apparatus is a tablet terminal, there is a requirement for designating the search key by using a pen or the like.
In contrast, there is an information processing apparatus which determines a dominant arm and performs display in accordance with the dominant arm (see Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication Nos. 2012-226713 and 2013-69165, for example).
