Equipment control device, operation reception method, and program

An operation reception method of an equipment control device that is connected to an equipped apparatus so that a data communication is possible, and manages the operation state of the equipped apparatus, comprising:

• stereoscopically displaying icons with a stereoscopic display;
• managing data in which each of the icons is associated with image data, position information for stereoscopic display, and a command to be executed when operated;
• calculating a stereoscopic, operable range of an icon based on the position information of the icon;
• detecting a position of an operation body;
• and
• executing the command associated with the icon when the operation body enters the operable range.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored thereof a program that allows a computer that is connected to an equipped apparatus so that a data communication is possible, and manages an operation state of the equipped apparatus, to function as:

• a display that stereoscopically displays icons;
• an operation inputter that is provided on a display screen of the display and receives an input of operation with an operation body from a user;
• a data manager that manages data in which each of the icons is associated with image data, position information for stereoscopic display, and a command to be executed when operated;
• an operable range calculator that calculates a stereoscopic, operable range of an icon based on the position information of the icon;
• an operation position detector that detects a position of the operation body;
• and
• an operation executor that executes the command associated with the icon when the operation body enters the operable range.
