    an operation unit configured to receive a first input operation of a user, the first input operation of the user comprising a selection of a game content, the operation unit being further configured to receive a second input operation of the user, the second input operation of the user comprising an instruction to perform a process on the game content selected by the first input operation, the operation unit being further configured to output first input operation data comprising coordinate information associated with the first input operation and second input operation data comprising coordinate information associated with the second input operation; and

    a storage unit configured to store information comprising an association of a process executable on the game content and a particular direction;

    to execute steps of;

    game content specifying, in a game content specifying step, with the information processing apparatus, the selected game content based on the first input operation data;

    retrieving, on the information processing apparatus, the information from the storage unit, the information retrieved from the storage unit comprising the process executable on the game content and the particular direction associated with the process;

    receiving a start point of the second input operation based on the second input operation data, and, when the start point of the second input operation is specified and the end point is not specified, displaying, in a prediction display step, on the display unit, a prediction, wherein the prediction is displayed at the time that a process associated with a direction from the start point to a specific intermediate point of the second input operation is executed;

    determining a direction, from the start point to an end point, of the second input operation, based on the second input operation data; and

    executing, in an execution step, with the information processing apparatus, on the game content, a process associated with the direction of the second input operation game content, based on the information retrieved from the storage unit.
