The pointer is movable on the screen according to a user's operation. Second means acquires position information of the pointer on the screen. Third means sets positional information of the first area and the second area. Fourth means notifies with vibration, sound, and/or light the user a fact that the pointer is moved on the screen across the boundary between the first area and the second area based on the position information of the pointer acquired by the second means and the positional information of the first area and the second area set by the third means.
