                     on a display screen;                                                                                 
                            a position coordinate selecting unit coupled to said input managing unit and                  
                     said position coordinate analyzing unit for selecting the position coordinates of one                
                     of said candidates as the coordinates of said presentation position of the specific                  
                     multimedia data;                                                                                     
                            a presentation position storing unit coupled to said position coordinate                      
                     selecting unit and said data selecting unit for storing the position coordinates of                  
                     said selected candidate and for storing associated therewith said ID information of                  
                     said specific multimedia data;
