An image control system controls an image displayed on a display screen of a display section based on a detection value output from a detection section, the detection section outputting the detection value corresponding to a first position when an operation state of a touch operation performed on an operation surface is a first operation state in which a first touch operation is performed at the first position on the operation surface, and outputting the detection value corresponding to a midpoint between the first position and a second position when the operation state is a second operation state in which a second touch operation is performed at the second position on the operation surface in addition to the first touch operation. The image control system includes a correction section that calculates a corrected position when the operation state is the second operation state, one endpoint being indicated by a detected position acquired in the first operation state, a midpoint being indicated by a detected position acquired in the second operation state, and the other endpoint being indicated by the corrected position.

When a character is lent from a first game device to a second game device, clocks of those two game devices are synchronized, a shared lending/borrowing expiration time is set, the use of the character is temporarily disabled in the first game device, and the use of the character is temporarily enabled in the second game device. Then, a character return timing is determined, based on a time of the clock and the lending/borrowing expiration time, in the respective game devices. In accordance with the determined timing, the use of the character is enabled in the first game device, and the use of the character is disabled in the second game device. Thus, it is possible to lend/borrow a character as an item in the real world without generating a copy thereof, and the lent character is sure to be returned at the expiration of a predetermined lending/borrowing period.
