Computer-readable storage medium having information processing program stored therein, information processing apparatus, information processing system, and information processing method
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein an information processing program executed by a computer of an information processing apparatus which includes a display area having a scroll image display region for displaying a scroll target image, the information processing program causing the computer to perform operations comprising:
- pointed position detection to detect a pointed position on the scroll image display region;
first scroll instruction determination to determine whether or not the pointed position detected by the pointed position detection has continuously been detected for a predetermined time on a first region in the scroll image display region, the first region being located in a first direction with respect to a reference position;
second scroll instruction determination to determine whether or not the pointed position detected by the pointed position detection has shifted in a direction different from the first direction in the scroll image display region, wherein in the second scroll instruction determination, if there is a shift of the pointed position in a direction different from the first direction even when there is no shift of the pointed position in the first direction, the result of the second scroll instruction determination is determined to be positive;
first scrolling control to scroll the scroll target image in the first direction when a result of the determinations of the first scroll instruction determination is positive; and
second scrolling control to, when a result of the determination of the second scroll instruction determination is positive, scroll the scroll target image in the first direction without waiting for elapse of the predetermined time.

Abstract
An exemplary display area includes a scroll image display region for displaying a scroll target image. When at least either one of a result of a determination as to whether or not a touch position on the display area by a user has continuously been detected for a predetermined time on a first region which is located in a first direction (scrolling direction) with respect to a reference position or a result of a determination as to whether or not the touch position has shifted in a direction different from the first direction, is positive, the scroll target image is scrolled and displayed in the first direction.

11. An information processing system which includes a display area having a scroll image display region for displaying a scroll target image, the information processing system comprising at least one processor configured to perform operations comprising:
-
pointed position detection to detect a pointed position on the scroll image display region; first scroll instruction determination to determine whether or not the pointed position detected by the pointed position detection has continuously been detected for a predetermined time on a first region in the scroll image display region, the first region being located in a first direction with respect to a reference position; second scroll instruction determination to determine whether or not the pointed position detected by the pointed position detection has shifted in a direction different from the first direction in the scroll image display region, wherein in the second scroll instruction determination, if there is a shift of the pointed position in a direction different from the first direction even when there is no shift of the pointed position in the first direction, the result of the second scroll instruction determination is determined to be positive; first scrolling control to scroll the scroll target image in the first direction when a result of the determinations of the first scroll instruction determination is positive; and second scrolling control to quickly scroll the scroll target image in the first direction without waiting for elapse of the predetermined time when a result of the determination of the second scroll instruction determination is positive.

12. An information processing method used in an information processing apparatus which includes a display area having a scroll image display region for displaying a scroll target image, the information processing method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting a pointed position on the scroll image display region; a first determining whether or not the pointed position detected by the pointed position detecting step has continuously been detected for a predetermined time on a first region in the scroll image display region, the first region being located in a first direction with respect to a reference position; a second determining whether or not the pointed position detected by the pointed position detecting step has shifted in a direction different from the first direction in the scroll image display region, wherein in the second determining, if there is a shift of the pointed position in a direction different from the first direction even when there is no shift of the pointed position in the first direction, the result of the second determining is positive; and scrolling the scroll target image in the first direction when a result of the first determining is positive; and scrolling the scroll target image in the first direction without waiting for elapse of the predetermined time when a result of the second determining is positive.

13. An information processing apparatus comprising:
-
a display including a display area having a scroll image display region for displaying a scroll target image; and at least one processor configured to; detect a pointed position on the scroll image display region; perform a first determining whether or not the detected pointed position has continuously been detected for a predetermined time on a first region in the scroll image display region, the first region being located in a first direction with respect to a reference position; perform a second determining whether or not the detected pointed position has shifted in a direction different from the first direction in the scroll image display region, wherein in the second determining, if there is a shift of the pointed position in a direction different from the first direction even when there is no shift of the pointed position in the first direction, the result of the second determining is determined to be positive; perform a first scrolling to scroll the scroll target image in the first direction a result of the first determining is positive; and perform a second scrolling to immediately scroll the scroll target image in the first direction when a result of the second determining is positive. - View Dependent Claims (14)
