PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed is a processing apparatus, which makes it possible to make a cursor automatically move by employing a pointing device. The processing apparatus includes a control section and a processing section that implements processing under the controlling operations conducted by the control section. The control section is provided with: a display controlling function that controls the displaying operations on the screen; a processing implementation controlling function that implements the processing corresponding to the object designated by the cursor; a status change detecting function that detects a status change against which it is necessary to implement a processing operation; and an automatic cursor moving function that conducts the controlling operations so as to automatically move the cursor to the object corresponding to the processing operation being necessary for the status change concerned, or a processing implementation position display, at which the necessary processing operation should be implemented against the status change.

主权项

1. A processing apparatus, comprising:
a control section that conducts controlling operations for displaying an image on a screen and for controlling each of sections; and a processing section that implements various kinds of processing, under the controlling operations conducted by the control section; wherein the control section is provided with:
a display controlling function that controls displaying operations to be implemented on the screen, so as to display an object, which corresponds to contents of a processing, on the screen, and so as to display a cursor, which corresponds to an operation of a pointing device; a processing implementation controlling function that implements the processing, which corresponds to the object designated by the cursor; a status change detecting function that detects a status change against which it is necessary for the processing apparatus to implement a processing; and an automatic cursor moving function that, when the status change detecting function detects the status change, conducts the controlling operations so as to automatically move the cursor onto the object, which corresponds to the processing necessary for coping with the status change concerned, or onto a processing implementation position display that indicates such a position at which the processing necessary for coping with the status change concerned should be implemented, on the screen.
