摘要： A left-side ring magnet and a right-side ring magnet are fastened to a roller-shaped operation part, circumferentially displaced from each other by a certain angle. Magnetic variation generated by rotation of the magnets is detected by a magnetism detection element. Additionally, a left-side stationary magnet and a right-side stationary magnet, with the same magnetic pole, are annexed correspondingly to the left-side ring magnet and the right-side ring magnet, respectively, so that the stationary magnets are arranged with the same proximal arrangement relative to the ring magnets, respectively. With such a structure, two attractive and repulsive forces between the left-side ring magnet and the left-side stationary magnet; and between the right-side ring magnet and the right-side stationary magnet are totally exerted on the operation part, thereby providing a sharp, clear click touch during rotation.

摘要： There is provided a user interface with which a greater number of processes are executable in response to user operations made to a directional input device. When the directional input device receives a first direction followed by a second direction within a predetermined time period, the amount of change from the first direction to the second direction is calculated. If the calculated change amount exceeds a predetermined range, a first processes associated with each of the first and second directions is performed. If the calculated change amount falls within the predetermined range, a second process associated with the change amount is performed.
