A mobile terminal comprising: a motion detecting portion configured to detect a motion of shaking the mobile terminal and a direction toward which the mobile terminal was shaken, wherein the motion of shaking the mobile terminal is a motion of moving the mobile terminal in one direction, or a reciprocal motion, and wherein in case of the reciprocal motion, a direction of a first movement of the reciprocal motion is detected as the direction toward which the mobile terminal was shaken; a display processing portion configured to display a plurality of pieces of information on a display portion of the mobile terminal as selection candidates; a touch detecting portion configured to detect a touch operation that is performed to select a piece of information from the plurality of pieces of information; and a selection processing portion configured to, when the motion detecting portion has detected the motion of shaking the mobile terminal in a state where one of the plurality of pieces of information is selected by the touch operation detected by the touch detecting portion, select, as processing targets, one or more pieces of information from the plurality of pieces of information based on the direction toward which the mobile terminal was shaken that was detected by the motion detecting portion and a position of the piece of information selected by the touch operation detected by the touch detecting portion, wherein the selected one or more pieces of information are positioned more on a side of the direction toward which the mobile terminal was shaken than the piece of information selected by the touch operation detected by the touch detecting portion, the direction being an upward direction or a downward direction, the mobile terminal characterized in that: the selection processing portion, upon selection of the one or more pieces of information, immediately deletes the selected one or more pieces of information, and the selection processing portion, after deletion of the one or more pieces of information, does not select and delete information if the motion detecting portion detects a next motion of shaking the mobile terminal until a predetermined wait time has passed after detection of the previous motion of shaking the mobile terminal that triggered the selection and deletion of the one or more pieces of information. a motion detecting portion configured to detect a motion of shaking the mobile terminal and a direction toward which the mobile terminal was shaken, wherein the motion of shaking the mobile terminal is a motion of moving the mobile terminal in one direction, or a reciprocal motion, and wherein in case of the reciprocal motion, a direction of a first movement of the reciprocal motion is detected as the direction toward which the mobile terminal was shaken; a display processing portion configured to display a plurality of pieces of information on a display portion of the mobile terminal as selection candidates; a touch detecting portion configured to detect a touch operation that is performed to select a piece of information from the plurality of pieces of information; and a selection processing portion configured to, when the motion detecting portion has detected the motion of shaking the mobile terminal in a state where one of the plurality of pieces of information is selected by the touch operation detected by the touch detecting portion, select, as processing targets, one or more pieces of information from the plurality of pieces of information based on the direction toward which the mobile terminal was shaken that was detected by the motion detecting portion and a position of the piece of information selected by the touch operation detected by the touch detecting portion, wherein the selected one or more pieces of information are positioned more on a side of the direction toward which the mobile terminal was shaken than the piece of information selected by the touch operation detected by the touch detecting portion, the direction being an upward direction or a downward direction, the mobile terminal characterized in that: the selection processing portion, upon selection of the one or more pieces of information, immediately deletes the selected one or more pieces of information, and the selection processing portion, after deletion of the one or more pieces of information, does not select and delete information if the motion detecting portion detects a next motion of shaking the mobile terminal until a predetermined wait time has passed after detection of the previous motion of shaking the mobile terminal that triggered the selection and deletion of the one or more pieces of information.
