A smartphone (1) of the present invention includes (i) an object specifying section (12) for, in a case where an operation determination section (11) has determined that a predetermined operation had been carried out, (a) specifying a predetermined range on a display screen based on a contact position and (b) specifying an object included in the predetermined range and (ii) an object storage section (13) for, in a case where the object has been specified, creating a folder storing the object thus specified.
Claims6
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a display section for displaying an object on a display screen;
- an input section for detecting a contact position of an indicator on the display screen;
- an operation determination unit for determining whether or not a predetermined operation has been carried out, the predetermined operation having starting points which are at least two contact positions that have been detected by the input section;
- a range specifying unit for, in a case where the operation determination unit has determined that the predetermined operation had been carried out, specifying a predetermined range on the display screen based on the at least two contact positions detected by the input section;
- an object specifying unit for, in a case where at least one object is included in the predetermined range specified by the range specifying unit, specifying the at least one object as a storage-target object;
- and
- an object storage unit for, in a case where the object specifying unit has specified the storage-target object, (i) creating a folder for storing an object and (ii) storing, in the folder, the storage-target object thus specified.
A method of controlling an information processing apparatus including (i) a display section for displaying an object on a display screen and (ii) an input section for detecting a contact position of an indicator on the display screen,
- said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) determining whether or not a predetermined operation has been carried out, the predetermined operation having starting points which are at least two contact positions that have been detected by the input section;
- (b) specifying, in a case where it has been determined in the step (a) that the predetermined operation had been carried out, a predetermined range on the display screen based on the at least two contact positions detected by the input section;
- (c) specifying, in a case where at least one object is included in the predetermined range specified in the step (b), the at least one object as a storage-target object;
- and
- (d) creating a folder for storing an object and storing, in the folder, the storage-target object, in a case where the storage-target object has been specified in the step (c).
