Abstract
A remote controller has a touch panel. Multiple items are shown on a display. A user draws a line on the touch panel in the direction where the item is desired to select by moving the finger, for example. The remote controller determines the direction of the drawn line, and transmits the signal indicating the direction to a control unit. The control unit determines the item disposed in the direction indicated by the signal, and executes a process associated with that determined item. The process is executed in this manner, and thus an instruction is made to given devices. The invention can be applied to a car navigation system.
