INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD FOR INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND INFORMATION STORAGE MEDIUM

Provided is an information processing device, which allows a user, even in case a plurality of images are displayed close to each other on a display screen, to select images of a desired number relatively simply from those displayed images. A locus acquiring unit (72) acquires the locus of such a position on a display screen as is instructed by the user. A selective candidate image deciding unit (74) judges such one of images as is enclosed by the locus acquired by the locus acquiring unit (72). There is acquired the number of times, at which the image so judged by the selective candidate image deciding unit (74) as is enclosed by the locus acquired by the locus acquiring unit (72). An image selecting unit (78) selects the images of a number corresponding to the times acquired by an enclosing time number acquiring unit (76), from the images which were so judged by the selective candidate image deciding unit (74) as would be enclosed by the locus acquired by the locus acquiring unit (72). ® KIPO & WIPO 2009
