Abstract

A wireless output unit of a remote controller having a touch pad or a touch panel wirelessly outputs a coordinate value associated with a continuous contact input for the touch pad to a television. A reception unit of the television wirelessly receives the coordinate value associated with the continuous contact input. A display processing unit displays on a display unit a pointer moving on the basis of the coordinate value received by the reception unit. A reducing unit reduces the moving rate of the pointer 3 on the basis of the coordinate value received by the reception unit, when the distance between an object T displayed on the display unit and the pointer 3 displayed on the display unit is within a predetermined distance. An output unit outputs, when the continuous contact input is finished, acceptance information indicating that an input for an object T displayed on the display unit is accepted at a final coordinate value for the pointer 3 displayed on the display unit.
