Information processing program and information processing apparatus
First Claim
1. A computer readable storage medium having stored thereon an information processing program for causing a computer, connected to display means, coordinate set input means for inputting a coordinate set input instruction from a user, entry word data storage means for storing entry word data including a plurality of entry words, and explanation data storage means for storing explanation data associated with each of the plurality of entry words, to function as:
- first display control means for displaying, in an entry word candidate display area, a part of the plurality of entry words included in the entry word data;
entry word change operation detection means for determining at least one of (a) whether or not a slide operation has been performed in the entry word candidate display area and (b) whether or not a long push operation has been performed in the entry word candidate display area, based on an output signal from the coordinate set input means, and detecting an entry word change operation by the user based on the determination result;
second display control means for, when the entry word change operation by the user is detected by the entry word change operation detection means, erasing at least one entry word displayed in the entry word candidate display area and displaying a new entry word; and
third display control means for, when the coordinate set input instruction is terminated on an entry word displayed in the entry word candidate display area based on an output signal from the coordinate set input means, reading the explanation data corresponding to the entry word and displaying an explanation of the entry word on the display means under a condition that no new entry word has been displayed by the second display control means at least in a time period from a start of the coordinate set input instruction until a termination thereof.

Abstract
A part of entry words included in entry word data is displayed in an entry word candidate display area 42. When the user taps a desired entry word in this state, a meaning of that entry word is displayed in an explanation sentence display area 40. When the user slides a stick in the entry word candidate display area 42, an animation of a page being turned is displayed, and the entry words displayed in the entry word candidate display area 42 are replaced with new entry words. This makes it simpler and faster to perform an instruction to switch entry words displayed on the screen and an instruction to select an entry word displayed on the screen and display a meaning thereof on the screen.
