Abstract
A mobile phone includes a pointing device and an activation mark in the vicinity of the display section. When a user moves a pointer on the display section to a position indicating the mark and operates the decision key, a predetermined action is activated. The number of icons that can be displayed on the display section of the mobile phone is limited. Therefore, in order to easily activate a number of actions of the mobile phone, the aforementioned mark is utilized.
