Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To set a pointing device at an optimum place for a user by providing mechanism by which the position of the incorporated pointing device is changed on a fixed orbit. SOLUTION: An information processor 11 is constituted of a keyboard 6, a liquid display plate 7, the pointing device 12, fixed/mobile change-over mechanism 13 and a slide guide 14. For example, the pointing device 12 is an electrostatic capacity type tablet(position sensor) called a touch pannel and the cursor of the liquid display plate 7 is controlled by it. The slide guide 14 is provided on a keyboard operation surface. The pointing device 12 which is moved right and left by the guide of the slide guide 14 can be set at the optional place by fixed/mobile change-over mechanism 13.
