  • Information processing apparatus, information processing system, information processing method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for skipping information processing in execution
    Patent number: 10353573
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus that enables, during execution of information processing, a simple and intuitive operation to suspend the information processing, and to start another information processing. An example information processing apparatus includes a game processing unit that executes game processing, a suspension processing unit that suspends the game processing being executed in the game processing unit, in response to a touch-on operation to a touch panel, and a skip processing unit that switches the game processing being executed in the game processing unit to another game processing different from the game processing being suspended by the suspension processing unit, in response to a slide operation to the touch panel.

  • STORAGE MEDIUM, DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, DISPLAY CONTROL SYSTEM, AND DISPLAY METHOD
    Publication number: 20160364031
    Abstract: An input operation accepting unit (111) of an exemplary information-processing device (100) accepts a pointing operation input using a pointing device to indicate a coordinate of a display area of a display device. A setting unit (112) sets a first stop position for a scroll of a content, a part of the content appearing in the display area, based on a positional relationship between a start coordinate and an end coordinate of the pointing operation accepted by the input operation accepting unit (111). A scrolling unit (113) scrolls the content to the first stop position set by the setting unit (112), based on the pointing operation accepted by the input operation accepting unit (111).
