Method, program, and electronic device

A method that is executed on a computer equipped with a touch panel, the method comprising:

• a step of holding data points indicated by values along a first axis and values along a second axis, these values being acquired on the basis of a touch event generated in response to a user operation on the touch panel;
• a step of terminating the holding of a data point for which a predefined holding period has expired among the held data points;
• a step of determining the slope of a regression line on the basis of the held data points;
• a step of determining the amount of rotation by which the determined slope of the regression line is to be rotated, on the basis of a displacement direction of the held data points as a set;
• a step of determining an angle on the basis of the determined slope of the regression line and the determined amount of rotation;
• and
• a step of determining, for each predefined period, a resultant vector for determining a parameter of an operable object in a virtual space on the basis of a unit vector having the determined angle, as well as a weight coefficient calculated according to components along the direction of the first axis and the direction of the second axis at the determined angle.

An electronic device equipped with a touch panel, wherein:

• an angle indicated by a set of data points is determined on the basis of the data points, the data points being indicated by values along a first axis and values along a second axis, these values being acquired on the basis of a touch event generated in response to a user operation on the touch panel;
• for each predefined period, one or more data points are held as a data point sequence, the one or more data points being indicated by values along the first axis and values along the second axis, these values being acquired on the basis of a touch event generated in response to a user operation on the touch panel;
• on the basis of a displacement of data points in the held data point sequence, a displacement speed corresponding to the speed at which the position of generation of the touch event becomes displaced in the data point sequence is determined, and at least on the basis of the variation of the most recently determined displacement speed with respect to the average of precedingly determined displacement speeds, a weighted speed for determining a parameter of an operable object in a virtual space is determined;
• and
• in the determination of a weighted speed, a weight coefficient is calculated according to components along the direction of the first axis and the direction of the second axis in the direction indicated by the determined angle, and a displacement speed is determined further on the basis of the weight coefficient.
