  • Patent number: 8307306
    Abstract: A selection candidate display method, a selection candidate display device, and an input/output device are provided.

When the logical area to which the scroll area is allocated is operated, the controller moves the scroll area to the adjacent logical area and allocates the next receivable broadcasting station after the broadcasting station allocated to the remaining logical area among the logical areas adjacent to the scroll area, to the logical area which was the scroll area.
