The GUI screen image displays a directional keys input area at the lower left on the screen image, a button input area at the lower right on the screen image, an L/Lbutton input area at the upper left on the screen image, and an R/Rbutton input area at the upper right on the screen image. The L/Land the R/Rbutton input areas are in the form of circle sectors, whereby the center angles of the circle sectors are at right angles of the two upper corners of the screen, and by internally dividing the center angles further so as to divide the sectors into two sectors respectively, the Land Lbuttons, and the Rand Rbuttons are distinguished.
