Abstract
A remote control system includes a main body apparatus and a remote controller. A motion sensor included in the remote controller detects an amount of change in posture of the remote controller. A user interface creator included in the main body apparatus creates a user interface image including a pointer. The user interface creator: determines virtual coordinates of the pointer based on the amount of change in posture; when the virtual coordinates of the pointer are present in a movable region, displays the pointer at a position of the virtual coordinates; when the virtual coordinates of the pointer are present outside the movable region, displays the pointer at a position in the movable region closest to the virtual coordinates; and when the virtual coordinates of the pointer have reached a boundary of a clip region, limits the virtual coordinates of the pointer within the clip region.
