Abstract: An imaging apparatus generates a GUI screen image for operating the imaging apparatus. A controller controls the generation of the GUI screen image upon detecting a predetermined operation.

Abstract: In menu structure, information is separately displayed on a menu item-by-menu item basis. Therefore, the adoption of menu structure involves inconvenience. (For example, pieces of information under different menu items cannot be viewed at the same time.) A portable information communication terminal eliminates this inconvenience. Information is configured in list structure wherein items (A1, . . . , A5, B1, . . . , B4, B5, B6, C1, . . . , C5, D1, . . . (A to D represent groups.)) are arranged in succession. List information (B5 to C5) which is within a predetermined range (the second precedent line through the fourth subsequent line) from a specific item C1 of a predetermined serial number (top number) in a selected group (group C) is displayed. Since the top item in group C is the specific item, items corresponding to group B are also displayed. Thus, items corresponding to different groups (group B and group C) can be displayed at the same time.

Abstract: In an electronic map apparatus, an electronic map is displayed in accordance with map data read out from a DVD-ROM. Then, distance display circles which have a common center located at a point on the electronic map and each interconnect points on the electronic map at equal geographical distances from the point are drawn. As a result, it is possible to know an approximate geographical distance to a destination intuitively and easily in the electronic map apparatus which is typically used for car navigation.

Abstract: High-speed scrolling is performed when an operating dial 35 is rotated taking a central button member 36 as an axis, and low-speed scrolling when pushing either an upper button 42A or a lower button 42C by pushing the operating dial 35 in the direction of an axis of rotation. It is therefore possible to include information it is wished to view, in an appropriate manner within a display range of a screen, with fewer operations by appropriately changing over the speed of scrolling. In addition, as it is possible to operate the operating dial 35 for both high-speed scrolling and low-speed scrolling, when changing over the speed of scrolling, it is possible to change over the speed of scrolling in a straightforward manner without operating members other than the member that has been operated so far.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of easily inputting a telephone number. In a cellular phone equipped with jog dial, displayed on LCD display 18 of such a cellular phone are the telephone number display section and fixed cursor. Also displayed on the LCD display are a substantially arc shaped line and digits at the periphery of such arc. When the jog dial is manipulated upwardly, the digits displayed at the periphery of the arc are moved downwardly. Upon depressing the jog dial, the digit displayed in the cursor is additionally displayed in the telephone number display section.

Abstract: A method of three-dimensionally rotating a plurality of menus displayed in an ordered stack on a display unit of a portable telephone. The method displays the plurality of menus three-dimensionally on the display unit according to the ordered stack. The menu displayed in front is a current menu and the remainder of the menus are displayed in order behind the current menu. A menu rotation direction is selected and the plurality of menus are rotated in the menu rotation direction in accordance with the ordered stack. In this manner, the next menu in the ordered stack is rotated in the menu rotation direction to the front and becomes the current menu.

Abstract: A browser generates a sound of track 0 recorded in a MIDI file named music.mid. A Sony_AudioClip node receives data of the music.mid file as an event, outputting the data from a musicData field thereof to a musicData field of a Sony_MusicNoteInterpolator node. The Sony_MusicNoteInterpolator node interpolates a value between a value of a high sound and a value of a low sound prescribed by a keyValue field, outputting a result of the interpolation from value_changed. A PositionIP.value_changed field of a PositionInterpolator node outputs position data corresponding to data of the height of the sound supplied from the Sony_MusicNoteInterpolator node to a CONE_OBJ.set_translation field of a CONE_OBJ Transform node. As a result, the position of an object is changed in synchronization with the generation of a sound.
