ABSTRACT:
Provided is a user interface apparatus with improved operability thereby allowing a desired alternative to be selected from a plurality of alternatives more smoothly than by conventional techniques. When an instruction is received from a user to display a contents selection reception screen, eight contents corresponding to eight ordinal ranks are selected from among managed contents at intervals of n/8, and are set as selectable alternatives, and a table is created in which the ordinal ranks of the eight selectable alternatives are corresponded with key codes respectively, where each key code represents a press directed to a corresponding one eight press sensors. Based on the created table, a GUI screen is displayed for receiving selection of one of the ordinal ranks. Upon reception of ordinal-rank selection, a set of alternatives in a predetermined number including an alternative corresponding to the selected ordinal rank are displayed as a list, where the predetermined number of alternatives in the set are consecutive in terms of ordinal ranks. When a user selects a desired alternative from the list by operating members31, the selection reception processing is ended. The user may also scroll through the alternatives by operating the operation member31.
