  • Patent number: 8970526
    Abstract: The present invention provides a game device that has a touch panel, a processor, and a RAM. The processor, from among detected position data output from touch panel, stores in RAM, as the position of the start point, the position indicated by detected position data output by the start of a continuous touch operation. Also, given that the position indicated by detected position data output immediately before the end of the continuous touch operation is determined as the position of the end point, processor identifies, from among plural input instructions each being associated with plural direction ranges extending radially from a common basal point on the contact face of touch panel, an input instruction that is associated with a direction range having a direction from the start point to the end point therewithin, from among plural direction ranges having the start point as a basal point.

  • Patent number: 8313375
    Abstract: The present invention provides a game device (20) that has a touch panel (25), a processor (28), and a RAM (31). The processor (28), from among detected position data output from touch panel (25), stores in RAM (31), as the position of the start point, the position indicated by detected position data output by the start of a continuous touch operation. Also, given that the position indicated by detected position data output immediately before the end of the continuous touch operation is determined as the position of the end point, processor (28) identifies, from among plural input instructions each being associated with plural direction ranges extending radially from a common basal point on the contact face of touch panel (25), an input instruction that is associated with a direction range having a direction from the start point to the end point there within, from among plural direction ranges having the start point as a basal point.
