    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an intuitive interface environment which is user-friendly and easy to use, by implementing a different kind of display function according to the period when a user inputs to a bidirectional activating means. SOLUTION: This is a data processor control display system including a means, which implements a 1st display function in response to user's input during a 1st period to the bidirectional activating means and a means which implements a display function of a different kind from the 1st display function in response to user's input during a 2nd period longer than the 1st period. When a switch 49 is depressed for a certain period while controlling a cursor arrow 50 with a mouse, the switch 49 enters a 1st mode and a current track on an audio CD is forwarded fast Then, when the switch 49 is clicked in a short time with the cursor arrow 50, the selected track jumps from a track 1 indicated by an indicator 48 to a track 2.

    Abstract: In a data processor controlled display system having three-dimensional objects laid out in a three-dimensional virtual workspace, the objects have associated there with respective collision barriers which are stored with their corresponding objects. Then during navigation via changing the users viewpoint in to the workspace, when this changing viewpoint encounters any collision barrier which is offset from its object by a selected distance D, the viewpoint stops. This distance of the barrier from the object is selected so as to stop the viewpoint at a distance sufficiently removed from its particular object so as to leave the user or viewer with a view of the workscape of sufficient scope to permit the viewer to select a different navigation path or path branch. In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, the viewpoint is optionally provided with a similar collision barrier.
