Abstract

An information processing device includes a display panel for displaying display items belonging to a predetermined layer among display items divided into a plurality of layers, a manipulating body detection unit for detecting the number of manipulating bodies moving on a touch panel along with a movement direction and a movement amount of the manipulating body, and a display control unit for performing display control so that display items belonging to the predetermined layer are scroll-displayed on the basis of detection results of the movement direction and the movement amount if a movement of manipulating bodies whose number corresponds to the predetermined layer is detected, display items belonging to another layer are displayed if a movement of manipulating bodies whose number corresponds to the other layer is detected, and the display items belonging to the other layer are scroll-displayed on the basis of detection results.
