Abstract:
1. A data processor that employs a touch panel as an input device for accepting an input made by touching the display of a display area of an image displayed on a display screen, wherein image information for said image is larger in size than said display screen and wherein only a display area of said image is displayed at any one time, and converts said input to a movement of a cursor, comprising: an operation event detector for detecting touch input, made by touching the image displayed on an image display area of a display screen, as operational input of an operation preset for an operation type as distinguished from other normal inputs to be done on the same display area of said touch panel; a movement information generator for generating movement information used to move said cursor positioned at the periphery of said display screen to the outside thereof according to the operation type detected by said operation event detector; a cursor movement controller for moving the position of said cursor on said displayed image according to said movement information generated by said movement information generator; and a display controller for moving the display area relative to the image according to a movement of said cursor moved by said cursor movement controller.
