1. A portable graphical view production system comprising:
- a housing including an image display;
a location input device mounted in the housing for inputting a current location of the system;
a viewpoint position/line-of-sight direction determination means mounted in the housing for determining a viewpoint position and line-of-sight direction, said viewpoint position/line-of-sight direction determination means including an angular velocity sensor which detects changes in the angular velocity of the system;
a map data storage device mounted in the housing for providing map data corresponding to said current location of the system; and
a graphic data coordinate conversion means mounted in the housing for converting said map data on the basis of said current location, said viewpoint position line-of-sight direction and changes in the angular velocity wherein the converted map data is displayed by the image display.

Abstract
In an information processing device, when an operation button is pushed, a menu is displayed on the screen of an LCD. When the whole portable type information processing device (PDA) is rotated around the X-axis, the Y-axis or the Z-axis with the operation button being pushed, the rotation is detected by a triaxial gyro sensor, and on the basis of the detection result a cursor displayed on the screen is moved on the menu. By releasing the operation button when the cursor is located on a desired menu item, the selection of the menu item at which the cursor is located is settled, and the processing corresponding to the selected menu item is started.
