ABSTRACT:
Operation information which is output in accordance with a motion of an input device is sequentially obtained. First behavior information representing a state of an object after a first time period, which is a part of a recognition period, is set in accordance with operation information obtained during the first time period using operation information, so as to sequentially change the state of the object. Second behavior information representing a state of the object after a second time period, which is terminated after the first time period and is at least a part of the recognition period, in accordance with operation information obtained during the second time period. Based on at least the second behavior information, the state of the object is sequentially changed after the second time period.
