cause the touch panel display to display another part of the character string within the area, in response to a touch with an object to the area displayed by the touch panel display;
when the display of the another part of the character string is within the area, detect that the touch has ended by the object being taken off from the touch panel display;
in response to the detection that the touch has ended, execute the predetermined process corresponding to the character string; and
