Recording medium, computer and method for selecting computer display items
First Claim
1. A method of sequentially displaying each of a plurality of items as a selectable item on a screen of a computer, said computer including a controller which has pressure-sensitive means, comprising the steps of:
- acquiring a pressure-sensing output from said controller;
determining a display rate for sequentially displaying selectable items on the screen, said display rate being dependent on a value of said pressure-sensing output; and
sequentially displaying each of the plurality of items as the selectable item at the determined display rate.

Abstract
A recording medium, computer and method for displaying a selectable item on a computer display screen. The recording medium has a processing program that sequentially displays a selectable item from a sequence of items at a rate depending on the output from a controller which senses a pushing pressure of a user on a control element of the controller. The computer includes that controller, a display screen; a unit for determining a display rate based on a value of said pressure-sensing output, and a unit for sequentially displaying each of a plurality of items on the display screen as the selectable item at the display rate.

21. A recording medium on which is recorded a computer-readable and executable software program that performs processing by taking as instructions an output from a controller of a computer, said controller having pressure-sensitive means for sensing a pushing pressure of a user of the computer on the controller in order to generate the output from said controller, wherein
said software program comprises: a processing program that sequentially displays each of a plurality of items as a selectable item on a screen of the computer by;
acquiring a pressure-sensing output from said controller;
determining a display rate for sequentially displaying selectable items on the screen, said display rate being dependent on said pressure-sensing output; and
sequentially displaying each of the plurality of items as the selectable item at the determined display rate. - View Dependent Claims (23)

22. A computer comprising:
-
a controller having pressure-sensitive means for sensing a pushing pressure of a user on the controller and generating a pressure sensing output;
a display screen;
means for monitoring the pressure-sensing output from the controller;
means for determining a display rate for sequentially displaying selectable items on the display screen, said display rate being dependent on a value of said pressure-sensing output; and
means for sequentially displaying each of the plurality of items on the display screen as the selectable item at the determined display rate.
