1. A control apparatus comprising:
- an operation reception unit receiving a reference setting operation and a position designation operation after the reference setting operation, wherein the reference setting operation and the position designation operation are input by a user touching an input unit provided on a display surface of a display unit;
a reference position setting unit setting a reference position at a second position shifted toward a periphery of the input unit from a first position of the reference setting operation on the input unit; and
a display control unit setting, depending on the reference position and the second position of the position designation operation, a display position of a pointer on the display unit;
wherein the operation reception unit receives a second position designation operation input with another touch on the input unit coincident with the position designation operation, wherein the display control unit sets a display position on the display unit of a second pointer depending on a position of the second position designation operation, and wherein the display control unit sets the display position of the second pointer such that a distance between the display position of the pointer and the display position of the second pointer is not longer than a distance between the position of the position designation operation and the position of the second position designation operation.

Abstract
A control apparatus includes: an operation reception unit receiving a reference setting operation, and a position designation operation after the reference setting operation, that are input by a user touching an input unit provided on a display surface of a display unit; a reference position setting unit setting a reference position at a position shifted toward a periphery of the input unit from the position of the reference setting operation on the input unit; and a display control unit setting, depending on the reference position and the position of the position designation operation, a display position of a pointer for selecting a position on the display unit.

16. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by one or more processors, a reference setting operation and a position designation operation after the reference setting operation, wherein the reference setting operation and the position designation operation are input by a user touching an input unit provided on a display surface of a display unit; setting, by one or more processors, a reference position at a second position shifted toward a periphery of the input unit from a first position of the reference setting operation on the input unit; and setting, by one or more processors and depending on the reference position and the second position of the position designation operation, a display position of a pointer on the display unit; wherein the operation reception unit receives a second position designation operation input with another touch on the input unit coincident with the position designation operation, wherein the display control unit sets a display position on the display unit of a second pointer depending on a position of the second position designation operation, and wherein the display control unit sets the display position of the second pointer such that a distance between the display position of the pointer and the display position of the second pointer is not longer than a distance between the position of the position designation operation and the position of the second position designation operation.

17. A computer program product for setting a display position of a pointer, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code readable and executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving a reference setting operation and a position designation operation after the reference setting operation, wherein the reference setting operation and the position designation operation are input by a user touching an input unit provided on a display surface of a display unit; setting a reference position at a second position shifted toward a periphery of the input unit from a first position of the reference setting operation on the input unit; and setting, depending on the reference position and the second position of the position designation operation, a display position of a pointer on the display unit; wherein the operation reception unit receives a second position designation operation input with another touch on the input unit coincident with the position designation operation, wherein the display control unit sets a display position on the display unit of a second pointer depending on a position of the second position designation operation, and wherein the display control unit sets the display position of the second pointer such that a distance between the display position of the pointer and the display position of the second pointer is not longer than a distance between the position of the position designation operation and the position of the second position designation operation.
