  • Publication number: 20020054151
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus having a jog dial in which plural operation possibilities can be allocated to one operation of a jog dial to enlarge the range of operation in case of employing the jog dial to permit a user to recognize instantly that the apparatus is in the jog dial operating mode. On detection of one-click rotation of the jog dial by one click at step S2 and on detection of the pushing of the jog dial at step S3, the operating mode is switched to an operating mode in meeting with the operation on the jog dial. On detection of rotation by one click of the jog dial at step S2, an item list of an application software installed is displayed (launcher display) at step S7. On detection of pushing of the jog dial at step S3, the category classification of the application software installed is displayed at step S4.
