POINTER CONTROLLING APPARATUS

摘要

The present invention provides an apparatus, a controlling method, and a controlling program for appropriately moving a pointer to a selection position regardless of alignment and size of function selection area, and improving operability and certainty of function selection in a GUI. The apparatus includes. (1) means (720) for determining whether or not the pointer has crossed over a boundary of a predetermined area from outside to inside based on position information of the pointer; (2) means (730) for determining a speed of the pointer or whether or not an event has occurred, and setting two types of operating modes; (3) means (753) for moving the pointer to a predetermined position within the area when the pointer has crossed over the boundary from outside to inside; and (4) means (755) for changing a moving distance of the pointer, if the pointer moves at a speed less than a predetermined moving speed or the event has not occurred and when it is determined that the pointer exists within the area, based on the speed determined when the pointer existed outside the area.
