1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

  • a display having a screen;

    a detection unit configured to detect inputs by a user;

    a sensor configured to detect an inclination; and

    a controller configured to determine whether an input is detected by the detection unit, and rotating display of a first image displayed on the screen in a first display mode into a second image displayed on the screen in a second display mode based on the inclination detected by the sensor in a period of time from detection of input by the detection unit to release of the input,wherein the first image and the second image include a selection item,wherein if the input is detected in the first display mode, the first image switches to the second image by gradually emerging on the screen when the inclination becomes larger than a first predetermined threshold,wherein the controller further includes a third display mode in which the second image is displayed on the screen, and is configured to be capable of switching the second display mode to the third display mode,wherein the controller determines whether the input is released in the second display mode, determines whether an angle of the inclination at a time when the input is released is greater than a second predetermined threshold, and switches from the second display mode to the third display mode in a case where the angle of the inclination is greater than the second predetermined threshold, andwherein in a case where the angle of the inclination at the time when the input is released is less than the first predetermined threshold, the controller switches the second display mode to the first display mode.
