A game device includes: a display control unit that displays a plurality of display targets on a display screen of a display device; an input acquiring unit that acquires a position of input from a front touch panel or a rear touch panel, which can detect input on the display screen; and a movement control unit that defines as a target to be moved a display target displayed by the display control unit on the display screen at a position corresponding to the position of a first input entry acquired by the input acquiring unit, and operative to scroll a display target other than the target to be moved in accordance with a second input entry acquired by the input acquiring unit while keeping the display position of the target to be moved at the position of the first input entry.

Input control device, input control method, and input control program for controlling display target upon receiving input on display screen of display device

Provided is an information processing device which allows a user to provide, regardless of a position or direction of a touch sensor, an operation input to the touch sensor at an arbitrary position or in an arbitrary direction. The information processing device includes two touch sensors each including a detection surface for detecting a position of an object thereon, the two touch sensors being arranged to be opposed to each other, determines at least one of a reference point and a reference axis based on one or a plurality of positions detected by one touch sensor of the two touch sensors, and evaluates a content detected by another touch sensor of the two touch sensors based on the at least one of the determined reference point and the determined reference axis to determine a content of an operation input of a user.

Information processing device

A character folder generator generates one or more character folders, each of which corresponds to a specific character, at each layer of a hierarchical folder structure, and provides a terminal with information of said one or more character folders generated at each layer. A folder ID obtainer obtains identification information of the selected character folders from the terminal, when one of the character folders at each layer is selected at the terminal. A character sequence generator generates a character sequence identified based on a sequence of the character folders, each of which has been selected at each layer. A searcher searches for files by using as a keyword the generated character sequence and generates one or more files retrieved by search in the character folder finally selected at a certain layer and providing the terminal with information of the generated files in the finally selected character folder.
