COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREIN INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A computer readable storage medium having stored therein an information processing program executed on a computer of an information processing apparatus performing predetermined information processing based on attitude/motion data acquired from an attitude/motion sensor for detecting an attitude or motion of an input device, the computer being caused to function as:
- correspondence data storage means for storing correspondence data representing correspondence between a plurality of selection target objects and attitudes of the input device;
object displaying means for displaying the plurality of selection target objects on a display unit;
data acquisition means for acquiring the attitude/motion data;
input attitude calculating means for calculating an input attitude, which is an attitude of the input device, in accordance with the attitude/motion data acquired by the data acquisition means;
object selecting means for selecting a selection target object from among the plurality of selection target objects in accordance with the input attitude calculated by the input attitude calculating means and the correspondence data; and
information processing means for performing a process according to the selection target object selected by the object selecting means.

Abstract
Correspondence data representing correspondence between a plurality of selection target objects and the attitude of an input device is stored in an information processing apparatus. In accordance with attitude/motion data acquired from the input device, the attitude of the input device is calculated. In accordance with the correspondence data, a selection target object corresponding to the attitude of the input device is selected thereby to perform a process based on the selection target object having been selected.
