First Claim
1. A method for instructing a change in a display state of a processing object area on a display screen connected to a computer, to which a first input device for specifying a position on the display screen and a second input device differing from the first input device, are connected, comprising the steps of:
- executing a plug-in emulator configured to create emulation information based at least in part on a first operation signal from the first input device and a second operation signal from the second input device;
executing an application program in accordance with the emulation information,displaying the processing object area of the application program on the display screen; and
executing a display state changing process for changing the display state of the processing object area on the display screen in response to an operation of the second input device.

Abstract
An input system for a computer includes a first input device, such as a mouse or a tablet, and a second input device differing from the first input device. The first input device specifies a position on a display screen, which is connected to a computer for executing an application program and for displaying a processing object area of the application program on the display screen. An instruction set instructs a change in a display state of the processing object area on the display screen in response to an operation of the second input device. The first input device is operated with the operator'"'"'s favored hand, while the second input device is operated with the operator'"'"'s non-favored hand. Therefore, both hands are effectively used to improve operation efficiency.
