Abstract
A recording medium, computer and method of selecting computer display items are provided for making the selection and entry of items by pushing of a simple ON/OFF switch by a user into an easier-to-use interface for users. The recording medium has a processing program that moves items displayed on a screen depending on the output from a controller which senses a pushing pressure of a user on a control element of the controller. A computer includes that controller which has a pressure-sensitive unit for sensing the pushing pressure. The computer also has a unit for determining a movement distance in accordance with the sensed pressure sensed by the pressure-sensitive unit, and a unit for changing the display of the monitor based on the movement distance thus determined. A method of selecting computer display items uses the controller having the pressure-sensitive unit to sense the pushing pressure, determines a movement distance in accordance with the sensed pressure sensed by the pressure-sensitive unit, and changes the display of the monitor based upon that movement distance thus determined.
