Replay apparatus and replay method
First Claim
1. A replay apparatus comprising:
- a record circuit for recording electronic data;
a display monitor for displaying the electronic data;
a touch panel placed on and overlapping with the display monitor;
a detection circuit for detecting an operating position of the touch panel;
a switching circuit for switching between a first and a second operating state, the former to display the electronic data and an operator assist mark for indicating an operation area of the touch panel in the display monitor, and the latter to display only the electronic data in the display monitor;
a selection circuit for calculating an operating parameter based on operating positions relating to a tracing operation in an operation area detected by the detection circuit at least two different times when the tracing operation is carried out in the operation area of the touch panel in the first operating state, and for selecting the electronic data based on the calculation result.
