`“Next, the primary operation of the composite gesture decoding means (18) of an embodiment of
`the invention will be described using the flowcharts of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. The composite gesture
`decoding means (18) of an embodiment of the present invention is capable of generating
`composite gesture information (18a) by judging a composite meaning generated by a
`combination of at least one or more decoded gesture information (17) (specifically, step P1 to
`step P5).”

`FIG. 6 illustrates an example of a conventional type of information processing device 9. In other
`words, the information processing device 9 includes gesture capture means 5 such as a touch
`panel capable of capturing gesture information, and is capable of executing information
`processing such as data input, data calculation, data search, data display and the like according to
`the operating commands corresponding to gesture information input using the gesture capture
`means (specifically, the touch panel) 5 via finger contact means such as a finger of an operator or
`a touch pen during the information processing such as data input and data search and the like.”
