ABSTRACT:
An information processing method and apparatus employing a pointing device, such as a mouse, as an input device. A cursor and one or more objects are displayed on a display device of an information processing apparatus, and the position of the cursor is moved in the picture based on coordinate data entered to the information processing apparatus for displaying the cursor thus moved on the display device. If, when the cursor is positioned on one of the objects, data instructing execution of processing is entered to the apparatus, a pre-set processing defined for each object is executed. If, as a result of cursor movement, the cursor enters a pre-set area defined for the object, the cursor is moved to near the center of the object and displayed on the display device. The cursor may be moved easily by the pointing device and the information processing apparatus is improved in operability.
