Abstract

An image displaying speedometer includes an input section configured to receive a movement input and a decision input among various inputs, and a display section that output information. The display section outputs a speed scale and either one of a first index which indicates a part of the speed scale and a second index which indicates a part of the speed scale as information, the first index being different from the second index. The display section outputs the first index so as to indicate the part of the speed scale in accordance with the movement input received by the input section, and outputs the second index, instead of the first index, so as to indicate the part of the speed scale which has been indicated by the first index after the input section receives the decision input.

Claims (14)

1. An image displaying speedometer comprising:

an input device configured to receive a movement input and a decision input; and

a display configured to output information including a speed scale, a first indicator configured to identify a part of the speed scale and a second indicator configured to indicate a part of the speed scale as information, the first indicator being different from the second indicator;

a processor; and

memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause the image displaying speedometer to:

receive speed setting movement input through the input device;

display the first indicator in a position identifying the part of the speed scale corresponding to a speed specified by the speed setting movement input received through the input device,

receive a decision input through the input device, the decision input indicating a selection of a speed; and

output the second indicator, instead of the first indicator, indicating the same part of the speed scale which has been indicated by the first indicator after the input device receives the decision input, wherein outputting the second indicator includes removing the first indicator from the display.

2. The image displaying speedometer according to claim 1 , wherein the position where the display outputs the first indicator before the input device receives the decision input is different from a position where the display outputs the second indicator after the input device receives the decision input.

3. The image displaying speedometer according to claims 1 , wherein the first indicator is larger than the second indicator.

4. The image displaying speedometer according to claim 1 , wherein first indicator includes a numerical speed and wherein the first indicator moves upon receiving further speed setting input through the input device.

5. The image displaying speedometer according to claim 1 , wherein after the decision input is received and before a subsequent speed setting input is received, the first indicator is not displayed.

6. The image displaying speedometer according to claim 1 , wherein the first indicator and the second indicator differ in at least one of size and shape.
