How to run this operator?

Question

I've found a script that I want to test and use from a thread around, which was marked as "SOLVED" with this script. However, I can't get how this script is used:

import bpy
import bmesh

class SimpleOperator(bpy.types.Operator):
     """Tooltip"""
    bl_idname = "object.simple_operator"
    bl_label = "Simple Object Operator"

    @classmethod
    def poll(cls, context):
        return (context.object is not None and
            context.object.type == 'MESH' and
            context.object.data.is_editmode)

    def invoke(self, context, event):
        me = context.object.data
        bm = bmesh.from_edit_mesh(me)
        verts_sel = [v.select for v in bm.verts]
        edges_sel = [e.select for e in bm.edges]
        faces_sel = [f.select for f in bm.faces]

        loc = event.mouse_region_x, event.mouse_region_y
        try:
            geom = bm.select_history[-1]
        except IndexError:
            geom = None

        ret = bpy.ops.view3d.select(extend=True, location=loc)
        if ret == {'PASS_THROUGH'}:
            self.report({'INFO'}, "no close-by geom")
            return {'CANCELLED'}

        try:
            geom2 = bm.select_history[-1]
            print("geom2 sel 1st", geom2.select)
        except IndexError:
            geom2 = None

        if geom is None:
            geom = geom2

        if isinstance(geom, bmesh.types.BMVert):
            geom_sel = verts_sel
            bm_geom = bm.verts
        elif isinstance(geom, bmesh.types.BMEdge):
            geom_sel = edges_sel
            bm_geom = bm.edges
        elif isinstance(geom, bmesh.types.BMFace):
            geom_sel = faces_sel
            bm_geom = bm.faces

        for sel, g in zip(geom_sel, bm_geom):
            if sel != g.select:
                g.select_set(True)
                bm.select_history.remove(g)
                bm.select_flush_mode()
                break


        self.report({'INFO'}, repr(geom))
        return {'FINISHED'}

def register():
    bpy.utils.register_class(SimpleOperator)

def unregister():
    bpy.utils.unregister_class(SimpleOperator)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    register()

The thread I am mention is here: Get Edge / Vertex / Face from mouse position Please, if you can explain what I have to do with this code.

Regards.

Well, basically if you don't define an interface for your operator, you can run your code and then press the Spacebar and search it with the name of "simple object operator" in the box that appears. When you find it, simply click it and it will run.
