ABSTRACT:
An information processing apparatus stores a series of input positions which are continuously detected by an input device in a memory thereof in order of the detection. An input position (B1) initially stored in the memory is stored as a reference point position in the memory. When each of the series of input positions is stored in the memory, an operation vector (vector v′1) connecting between an input position having been most recently stored in the memory and the reference point position in the memory is calculated. The information processing apparatus performs a predetermined processing using a magnitude and a direction of the operation vector. The reference point position stored in the memory is updated to a position obtained when the reference point position is moved toward a predetermined target position (point A) when each of the series of input positions is stored in the memory.
