ABSTRACT:
A vertically extending menu bar is displayed at the right or left end of a screen, and a pull-down menu is further displayed which downwardly extends in an arc from a selected item of the menu bar to the center. The invention facilitates the use of a computer I/O device in which a liquid crystal display device and a touch sensor are integrated. The character string display of each menu bar item is inclined and space is omitted. The locus along which the pull-down menu extends can be calibrated to the user.
