Abstract
An attempt is made to be able to know the contents of usable information stored in a memory unit by simple operation. For example, when information about a schedule which is one of the usable information is selected on a high-level menu screen, a schedule menu screen which lists a schedule menu is displayed and a focus is displayed on this screen. If the focus is adjusted to a desired menu and a predetermined setting time elapses without performing anything sequentially, processing automatically enters a display state of a schedule outline screen for the menu specified with the focus. On this schedule outline screen, a dual window opens and summary information which indicates rough contents of this specified menu is displayed there.
