APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SELECTING OBJECT, AND PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an object selection apparatus which allows users to easily select objects that are to be displayed in a specified order.

SOLUTION: A display part 306 of the object selection apparatus 301 displays objects so that an object which is earlier in the order is displayed front to hide the later order object on a screen if they are overlapped. A direction instruction input receiving part 308 receives a position instruction input which specifies a position on the screen. An output part 307 outputs the most front object in the order as a selection result among objects that are to be displayed on the screen if an object which is to be displayed at the position specified by the position instruction input exists. If an object which is to be displayed at the position specified by the position instruction input dose not exist and an object which is to be displayed at a position overlapped with a two-dimensional area specified so as to include the position exists, the output part 307 outputs the most front object in the order as a selection result.
