Patent ID: 8643640

Claim:
An object processing apparatus for executing processing on an object in a virtual space based on an indicated coordinate set corresponding to a position in an operation region indicated by a player, wherein: the operation region is defined as being divided into at least two types of areas of a first area and a second area bordering on the first area; and the object processing apparatus comprises: an indicated coordinate set detection section for detecting the indicated coordinate set; an indicated coordinate set determination section for determining whether the indicated coordinate set is encompassed in the first area or the second area; a reference coordinate set setting section for, when the indicated coordinate set is determined to be encompassed in the first area, setting the indicated coordinate set as a reference coordinate set, and when the indicated coordinate set is determined to be encompassed in the second area, setting a predetermined coordinate set closer to the first area than the indicated coordinate set as the reference coordinate set; and an operation control section for controlling an operation on the object in the virtual space based on a positional relationship between the reference coordinate set and the indicated coordinate set.
