1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

  • at least one processor; and

    a control section, using the at least one processor, configured to cause, when dragging is carried out, an elongated cursor interconnecting a start point and an end point of the dragging to be displayed on a display section in response to the dragging and execute, where a direction from one end portion of the elongated cursor which is a start point side of the dragging to the other end portion of the elongated cursor which is an end point side of the dragging is determined as a direction of the elongated cursor, a process based on the linear direction of the elongated cursor for information displayed on the display section;

    said control section is configured to change the information to be displayed on the display section when the other end portion of the elongated cursor enters a predetermined region set on the screen by the dragging,wherein said control section is configured to execute a process corresponding to the direction and the length of the elongated cursor for the information displayed on the display section,wherein said control sectionis configured to cause, from between first hierarchy information of a first hierarchy and second hierarchy information of a second hierarchy which is a higher hierarchy with respect to the first hierarchy, the first hierarchy information to be displayed on the display section, butis configured to change, when the other end portion of the elongated cursor enters the predetermined region set on the screen by the dragging, the information to be displayed on the display section from the first hierarchy information to the second hierarchy information, andwherein said control section is configured to return, if, after the information to be displayed on the display section is changed from the first hierarchy information to the second hierarchy information, the dragging is continued until the length of the elongated cursor becomes smaller than a predetermined threshold value, the information to be displayed on the display section from the second hierarchy information to the first hierarchy information.
