Abstract
In an information processing device, when an operation button is pushed, a menu is displayed on the screen of an LCD. When the whole portable type information processing device (PDA) is rotated around the X-axis, the Y-axis or the Z-axis with the operation button being pushed, the rotation is detected by a triaxial gyro sensor, and on the basis of the detection result a cursor displayed on the screen is moved on the menu. By releasing the operation button when the cursor is located on a desired menu item, the selection of the menu item at which the cursor is located is settled, and the processing corresponding to the selected menu item is started.
Claims13
A portable graphical view production system comprising:
- a housing including an image display;
- a location input device mounted in the housing for inputting a current location of the system;
- a viewpoint position/line-of-sight direction determination means mounted in the housing for determining a viewpoint position and line-of-sight direction, said viewpoint position/line-of-sight direction determination means including an angular velocity sensor which detects changes in the angular velocity of the system;
- a map data storage device mounted in the housing for providing map data corresponding to said current location of the system;
- and
- a graphic data coordinate conversion means mounted in the housing for converting said map data on the basis of said current location, said viewpoint position line-of-sight direction and changes in the angular velocity wherein the converted map data is displayed by the image display.
