Abstract
High-speed scrolling is performed when an operating dialis rotated taking a central button memberas an axis, and low-speed scrolling when pushing either an upper buttonA or a lower buttonC by pushing the operating dialin the direction of an axis of rotation. It is therefore possible to include information it is wished to view, in an appropriate manner within a display range of a screen, with fewer operations by appropriately changing over the speed of scrolling. In addition, as it is possible to operate the operating dialfor both high-speed scrolling and low-speed scrolling, when changing over the speed of scrolling, it is possible to change over the speed of scrolling in a straightforward manner without operating members other than the member that has been operated so far.
