A data processor such as a household information system which is realized by an image display with which the initial image of the system changes every time the system is started, and the displayed object moves interactively, employing a small memory. When the power source of the processor is turned on, the initial image display processing unit is started. In the initial image display processing unit, the screen display update processing unit changes the image on the display unit every after a predetermined period of time based upon the state of the images that have been stored in advance in the state storage unit. Moreover, any input from the input unit is detected by the input detect unit. Then, the image state select processing unit selects the state of a new image that corresponds to the input and stores it in the state storage unit.

Method and apparatus for creating multi-gradation data. The method and apparatus generates data having pixel values for respective pixels which comprise each of a plurality of characters in a font, and divides the respective pixels into a plurality of unit regions, a number of the respective pixels being obtained by multiplying a desired number of pixels by a number of pixels included in one unit region of the plurality of unit regions; extracts, for every unit region of the plurality of unit regions, the generated data; generates a multi-gradation data including a plurality of gradation values each gradually representing a different pixel brightness value, by converting, for every unit region, the data into the multi-gradation data in accordance with a plurality of pixel values included in the extracted unit region; and reduces the number of the respective pixels to the desired number of pixels by representing each unit region including the number of pixels with one pixel having a pixel value determined in accordance with the multi-gradation value.

A data processing device includes an emulation processing section for performing prescribed processing on an output signal of an operation pad for conversion into a signal or data which is equivalent to a signal or data that would be obtained when operating a mouse to generate information. The operation pad is then usable with an application program that is designed for use only with signals output from the mouse.
