DATA PROCESSING DEVICE, DATA PROCESSING METHOD, DATA PROCESSING PROGRAM, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM WHICH RECORDS PROGRAM

摘要

A data processing device comprises: an acquisition unit which, when an operation by sequential instruction inputs by a user which surrounds an object which is displayed in a display screen by a track of location information which is denoted by the instruction inputs is carried out, acquires location information which represents a location which is denoted by the instruction inputs; a recognition unit which recognizes the object as a selected object and recognizes the selection direction in which the selected object is surrounded; a determination unit which determines a process according to the selection direction; and an execution unit which executes the determined process on the selected object. A user-desired process selection is thus achieved by an easy instruction input, such as selecting an object in a surrounding direction by a location information group track, and it is possible to execute a selected process on the selected object.
