Abstract
When a user touches an icon, a control unit displays pointers for enabling anchors to be selected in directions extending radially from the icon. The pointers are displayed while the user is touching the icon or when a short time has elapsed after a finger has been separated from the icon. A touchable region is displayed at each position in the vicinity of the icon in each of four directions indicated by the pointers. For example, when a touch region is touched using a finger different from the finger touching the display position of the icon, a link corresponding to the touch region is selected.
