A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which cause a computer to execute a method for controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- detecting at least one touching operation for touching a display unit;
- displaying a first display object in a first area of the display unit and displaying a second display object in a second area of the display unit which is different from the first area;
- counting a time period of the at least one touching operation on at least one of the first display object and the second display object of the display unit, the at least one touching operation being continuous from a beginning to an end of the at least one touching operation;
- detecting a respective or corresponding touch-up operation for discontinuing the at least one touching operation on the display unit;
- executing a first function, which changes a mode or a setting of the information processing apparatus, assigned to the first display object based on detection of the respective or corresponding touch-up operation from the first display object on which a first touching operation of the at least one touching operation has been detected before the counted time period of the first touching operation on the first display object has reached a time period threshold;
- displaying an item regarding the first display object in response to the counted time period of the first touching operation on the first display object having reached the time period threshold after the first touching operation on the first display object has been detected;
- executing a second function, which changes a mode or a setting of the information processing apparatus, assigned to the second display object, based on detection of the respective or corresponding touch-up operation from the second display object on which a second touching operation of the at least one touching operation has been detected regardless of whether the counted time period of the second touching operation on the second display object is longer than the time period threshold or not;
- and
- not executing the first function assigned to the first display object based on the detection of the respective or corresponding touch-up operation from the first display object on which the first touching operation has been detected after the counted time period of the first touching operation on the first display object has reached the time period threshold.
