Abstract
A plurality of mouse input operations are switched according to the touching time period against a touch panel. Therefore, it is possible to carry out processing corresponding to a plurality of mouse input operations, selectively, by means of a single input operation, namely, a touch input operation, thereby improving the ease of operation. Furthermore, in the present invention, the direction of scrolling of a screen can be switched according to the touching time period against a touch panel. Consequently, it is possible to perform upward scrolling and downward scrolling, selectively, for example, by means of a single input operation, namely, a touch input operation, thereby improving the ease of operation.
