Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information providing medium

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• an operating means having a first operating block corresponding to a rotational operation and a second operating block corresponding to a pushing operation;
• and
• a control means for monitoring an operating state of said operating means and executing a predetermined processing in response to each of said rotational operation and said pushing operation.

An information processing method comprising:

• a first executing step for executing a predetermined processing in response to a rotational operation;
• and
• a second executing step for executing another predetermined processing in response to a pushing operation.

An information processing method comprising:

• a control step for monitoring an operation state of an operating means having a first operating block corresponding to a rotational operation and a second operating block corresponding to a pushing operation and executing a predetermined processing corresponding to each of said rotational operation and said pushing operation.
