Mobile terminal, selection processing method

A mobile terminal comprising:

• a motion detecting portion configured to detect a motion of shaking the mobile terminal;
• a display processing portion configured to display a plurality of pieces of information on a display portion as selection candidates;
• a touch detecting portion configured to detect a touch operation that is performed to select a piece of information from the plurality of pieces of information;
• and
• a selection processing portion configured to, when the motion detecting portion has detected the motion of shaking the mobile terminal while the plurality of pieces of information are displayed on the display portion, select, as processing targets, all of one or more pieces of information other than the piece of information selected by the touch operation detected by the touch detecting portion, and deletes the selected one or more pieces of information.

A selection processing method executed in a mobile terminal that includes a display processing portion configured to display a plurality of pieces of information on a display portion as selection candidates and a touch detecting portion configured to detect a touch operation that is performed to select a piece of information from the plurality of pieces of information, the selection processing method comprising:

• a motion detecting step of detecting a motion of shaking the mobile terminal and a direction toward which the mobile terminal was shaken;
• and
• a selection processing step of, when the step of detecting has detected the motion of shaking the mobile terminal while the plurality of pieces of information are displayed on the display portion, selecting, as processing targets, one or more pieces of information from the plurality of pieces of information based on the direction toward which the mobile terminal was shaken and a position of the piece of information selected by the touch operation detected by the touch detecting portion, wherein
• the selection processing step selects, from the plurality of pieces of information, all of one or more pieces of information that are positioned more on a side of the direction toward which the mobile terminal was shaken than the piece of information selected by the touch operation detected by the touch detecting portion, and deletes all of the selected one or more pieces of information.
