one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions such that the one or more processors are configured to,
display, in response to determining that a first position on the screen has been continuously touched by a user for more than a threshold period of time,
a cursor at the first position on the screen, and
at least one visual indicator at a second position on the screen,
the at least one visual indicator including a first portion and a second portion visually distinguished from the first portion,
the first portion identifying a first operation that will be executed by the one or more processors in response to an operation of dragging the cursor in a first direction relative to the first position, and
the second portion identifying a second operation that will be executed by the one or more processors in response to an operation of dragging the cursor in a second direction relative to the first position,
perform the first operation in response to a user dragging the cursor from the first position in the first direction, and
perform the second operation in response to a user dragging the cursor from the first position in the second direction,
the first operation being different than the second operation,
the first direction being different than the second direction,
while the user drags the cursor from the first position in the first direction or the second direction, the first and second portions of the at least one visual indicator remaining stationary on the screen, and
a shape of the cursor being changed in response to the user dragging the cursor from the first position in the first direction or the second direction.
8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions such that the displaying includes displaying the cursor at the first position such that the cursor has a circular shape before a user drags the cursor away from the first position.
9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions such that the one or more processors are further configured to display the cursor, in response to a user dragging the cursor from the first position on the screen to a third position on the screen, such that the cursor has a first shape that extends from the first position to the third position,
the first position being different from the third position.
10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions such that the first shape includes a first semicircular portion adjacent to the first position and a second semicircular portion adjacent to the third position.
11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions such that the first semicircular portion of the first shape has a first radius and the second semicircular portion of the first shape has a second radius that is different than the first radius.
12. The device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions such that the first semicircular portion of the first shape has a first radius and the second semicircular portion of the first shape has a second radius that is larger than the first radius.
13. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for operating a device, the operations comprising:
displaying, in response to determining that a first position of a screen of the device has been continuously touched by a user for more than a threshold period of time,
a cursor at the first position on the screen, and
at least one visual indicator at a second position on the screen,
the at least one visual indicator including a first portion and a second portion visually distinguished from the first portion,
the first portion identifying a first operation that will be executed by the device in response to an operation of dragging the cursor in a first direction relative to the first position, and
the second portion identifying a second operation that will be executed by the device in response to an operation of dragging the cursor in a second direction relative to the first position;
performing the first operation in response to a user dragging the cursor from the first position in the first direction; and
performing the second operation in response to a user dragging the cursor from the first position in the second direction,
