Abstract:
A user interface technique with excellent operability for displaying an object to be selected upright for an operator who operates a display screen of a display device from any direction. For this purpose, when the operator touches the display screen with his/her index finger, menu icons are displayed on a circumference with the touch position as a center, and with the central position of the circle as a lower position, at equal intervals. At this time, when the operator touches the display screen with his/her thumb while touching the display screen with his/her index finger, it is determined that the operator exists on an extension line on the thumb touch position side defined with the two touch positions. Then the respective menu icons are rearranged so as to be displayed upright from the operator.
