Abstract
The present invention relates to an information processing terminal that makes it possible to implement a more preferable user interface.
A user can input various processes by inclining a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants) 1, while depressing a control button 14. For example, when a menu screen for selecting application programs is displayed on a display section, the user moves a cursor by inclining the PDA 1 to select an application program for execution. The PDA 1 generates a clicking feel (feedback) to the user every time it moves the cursor.
The present invention is applicable to portable information terminals such as PDAs, and various remote controllers for televisions, game machines and the like.
