    Abstract: PURPOSE: To attain the extension of an additional control function by starting a display operation, in response to control actuator power, designated by a tap signature identifying device and moving a cursor on a display screen according to the power applied to an actuator. CONSTITUTION: A cursor-context queue preserves a display window identifier and a cursor position inside respective display windows. A tap signature identifying device 44 recognizes power, which is coincident with a predetermined tap signature, applied to a stick controller 22 and a mouse 24 and consist of a tap corresponding to a predetermined display function. In operation, the power applied to the stick controller 22 is detected by a power converter 28, and the level and direction of the applied control power are applied to a stick interface 36. A display controller 34 receives this information, provides that information to the tap signature identifying device 44 and compares it with the control actuator power.
