Abstract
A simplified menu includes menu items of a 'user menu' in which a user can change and customize a menu, a 'user menu selection' for selecting a menu item capable of being set in the user menu, and a “detailed menu switch” for switching the menu from a simplified menu to a detailed menu. The “user menu selection” is displayed in the simplified menu, which is not a menu of a different hierarchy. Accordingly, the user can perform an operation in the simplified menu.
