ABSTRACT:
In a method and a device for moving a cursor on a display or similar screen to point to one of a plurality of selectable areas displayed on the display, data recorded in a data recording medium is read, and coordinates of the position of the selected area are identified on the basis of the data thus read. In response to a signal by holding an inputting device, a direction in which the inputting device is manipulated is detected and direction data is output. Coordinates of the position of the cursor are updated by replacing them with the coordinates of the position of the selected area located in the direction detected. The image data of the cursor is generated on the basis of the coordinates of the position of the cursor and updated. The image data for displaying is processed to display the image data.
