Method of controlling the movement of a position indicating item, storage medium on which a program implementing said method is stored, and electronic device

摘要

A method is disclosed for controlling the movement of a position indicating item displayed on a screen in accordance with an output signal of control means including a pressure-sensitive resistor which outputs a signal whose level varies depending upon a pressing force applied to an operating element. The method includes a signal level detection step (S1) for detecting the signal level of the signal output by the control means; a moving speed setting step (S4) for setting the moving speed of the position indicating item displayed on the screen in accordance with the signal level detected in the signal detection step; and an item moving step (S5) for moving the position indicating item at the moving speed set in the moving speed setting step. Because the position indicating item is moved at the moving speed depending upon the pressing force, it becomes easier to make a selection from a plurality of menu options displayed on the screen.
