Claims13
A controller comprising:
- displaying means for displaying commands used for controlling apparatuses, wherein the displaying means includes
- a first area for displaying infrequently used commands selected with a first operation unit and set with a second operation unit, and
- a second area for displaying frequently used commands selected and set at the same time with a third operation unit,
- wherein the third operation unit includes components, each of which corresponds, respectively, to only one of the frequently used commands displayed in the second area.
A control method for a controller having displaying means for displaying commands used for controlling apparatuses, the control method comprising:
- controlling the displaying means to display a first area for displaying infrequently used commands selected with a first operation unit and set with a second operation unit, and to display a second area for displaying frequently used commands selected and set at the same time with a third operation unit, the third operation unit including components, each of which corresponds, respectively, to only one of the frequently used commands displayed in the second area.
A computer readable medium including computer executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- controlling the displaying means to display a first area for displaying infrequently used commands selected with a first operation unit and set with a second operation unit, and to display a second area for displaying frequently used commands selected and set at the same time with a third operation unit, the third operation unit including components, each of which corresponds, respectively, to only one of the frequently used commands displayed in the second area.
A control method for a controller having displaying means for displaying commands used for controlling apparatuses, the control method comprising:
- displaying, on the displaying means, a first area for displaying infrequently used commands selected with a first operation unit and set with a second operation unit, and a second area for displaying frequently used commands selected and set at the same time with a third operation unit, the third operation unit including components, each of which corresponds, respectively, to only one of the frequently used commands displayed in the second area;
- allowing a user to select one of the infrequently used commands displayed in the first area by operating the first operation unit;
- allowing the user to set the selected infrequently used command by operating the second operation unit;
- and
- allowing the user to select and set one of the frequently used commands displayed in the second area by operating the third operation unit.
A controller comprising:
- a display unit for displaying commands used for controlling apparatuses, wherein the display unit includes
- a first area for displaying infrequently used commands selected with a first operation unit and set with a second operation unit, and
- a second area for displaying frequently used commands selected and set at the same time with a third operation unit, the third operation unit including components, each of which corresponds, respectively, to only one of the frequently used commands displayed in the second area.
A control method for a controller having a display unit for displaying commands used for controlling apparatuses, the control method comprising:
- controlling the display unit to display a first area for displaying infrequently used commands selected with a first operation unit and set with a second operation unit, and to display a second area for displaying frequently used commands selected and set at the same time with a third operation unit, the third operation unit including components, each of which corresponds, respectively, to only one of the frequently used commands displayed in the second area.
A computer readable medium including computer executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- controlling the display unit to display a first area for displaying infrequently used commands selected with a first operation unit and set with a second operation unit, and to display a second area for displaying frequently used commands selected and set at the same time with a third operation unit, the third operation unit including components, each of which corresponds, respectively, to only one of the frequently used commands displayed in the second area.
A control method for a controller having a display unit for displaying commands used for controlling apparatuses, the control method comprising:
- displaying, on the display unit, a first area for displaying infrequently used commands selected with a first operation unit and set with a second operation unit, and a second area for displaying frequently used commands selected and set at the same time with a third operation unit, the third operation unit including components, each of which corresponds, respectively, to only one of the frequently used commands displayed in the second area;
- allowing a user to select one of the infrequently used commands displayed in the first area by operating the first operation unit;
- allowing the user to set the selected infrequently used command by operating of the second operation unit;
- and
- allowing the user to select and set one of the frequently used commands displayed in the second area by operating the third operation unit.
