Abstract
An instructed position, which includes an instruction area for receiving a predetermined instruction and is displayable two-dimensionally and three-dimensionally, on a display means where an instruction image is displayed is detected. Upon setting on the display means a control range corresponding to the instruction area displayed on the display means such that the control range is changed between during the two-dimensional display and during the three-dimensional display, information of a tentative instructed position is obtained by receiving an instruction directed to the instruction area during the three-dimensional display. A horizontal shift on the display means of the tentative instructed position during the three-dimensional display relative to a position of the instruction area during the two-dimensional display is calculated. The control range is changed based on the horizontal shift to make the control range coincide with a visually recognized instruction area through stereoscopic viewing during the three-dimensional display.

8. An instructed position setting device for setting an instructed position during three-dimensional display, the device comprising:
-
an instructed position detecting unit for detecting an instructed position instructed on a display surface of a display unit where an instruction image is displayed, the instruction image including at least one instruction area for receiving a predetermined instruction, and the instruction image being displayable two-dimensionally and three-dimensionally; and a control range setting unit for setting on the display unit a control range corresponding to the instruction area of the instruction image displayed on the display unit such that the control range is changed between when the instruction image is two-dimensionally displayed and when the instruction image is three-dimensionally displayed, wherein when the instruction image is three-dimensionally displayed, the control range setting unit obtains information of a tentative instructed position by receiving an instruction directed to the instruction area, calculates an amount of shift in the horizontal direction on the display unit of the tentative instructed position when the instruction image is three-dimensionally displayed relative to a position of the instruction area when the instruction image is two-dimensionally displayed, and changes a position of the control range based on the amount of shift in the horizontal direction to make the position of the control range coincide with a visually recognized position of the instruction area through stereoscopic viewing when the instruction image is three-dimensionally displayed. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. An instructed position setting method for setting an instructed position during three-dimensional display, the method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting with an instructed position detecting unit an instructed position instructed on a display surface of a display unit where an instruction image is displayed, the instruction image including at least one instruction area for receiving a predetermined instruction, and the instruction image being displayable two-dimensionally and three-dimensionally; upon setting on the display unit a control range corresponding to the instruction area of the instruction image displayed on the display unit such that the control range is changed between when the instruction image is two-dimensionally displayed and when the instruction image is three-dimensionally displayed, obtaining information of a tentative instructed position by receiving an instruction directed to the instruction area when the instruction image is three-dimensionally displayed; calculates an amount of shift in the horizontal direction on the display unit of the tentative instructed position when the instruction image is three-dimensionally displayed relative to a position of the instruction area when the instruction image is two-dimensionally displayed; and changing a position of the control range based on the amount of shift in the horizontal direction to make the position of the control range coincide with a visually recognized position of the instruction area through stereoscopic viewing when the instruction image is three-dimensionally displayed.

14. A computer-readable recording medium containing a program for causing a computer to carry out an instructed position setting method for setting an instructed position during three-dimensional display, the program comprising the procedures of:
-
detecting with an instructed position detecting unit an instructed position instructed on a display surface of a display unit where an instruction image is displayed, the instruction image including at least one instruction area for receiving a predetermined instruction, and the instruction image being displayable two-dimensionally and three-dimensionally; upon setting on the display unit a control range corresponding to the instruction area of the instruction image displayed on the display unit such that the control range is changed between when the instruction image is two-dimensionally displayed and when the instruction image is three-dimensionally displayed, obtaining information of a tentative instructed position by receiving an instruction directed to the instruction area when the instruction image is three-dimensionally displayed; calculates an amount of shift in the horizontal direction on the display unit of the tentative instructed position when the instruction image is three-dimensionally displayed relative to a position of the instruction area when the instruction image is two-dimensionally displayed; and changing a position of the control range based on the amount of shift in the horizontal direction to make the position of the control range coincide with a visually recognized position of the instruction area through stereoscopic viewing when the instruction image is three-dimensionally displayed.
