An example information processing apparatus for selectively executing application programs includes a camera operable in a photographing-enabled state of the information processing apparatus; a touchscreen; and processing circuitry in communication with the camera and the touchscreen. The processing circuitry is configured to control the information processing apparatus to provide a selection screen allowing for input of a first selection for activating the photographing-enabled state of the information processing apparatus and of a second selection for proceeding to display of a main menu of the information processing apparatus. The main menu comprises scrollable touch images for launching respective application programs, and the processing circuitry controls the information processing apparatus to return to the display of the main menu after executing of a launched application program is terminated.
