The controller 22 picks up an image containing infrared rays outputted from markers 340m and 340n disposed on a monitor 34, through a half mirror (360f) built in the attachment 36. Besides, the controller 22 picks up an image containing infrared rays from a pen input device 38 which are reflected on the half mirror (360f), through the medium of a touch panel (360b). The controller 22 functions as the input device which inputs coordinates directly, on the former occasion; while the controller 22 functions as a pen tablet, on the latter occasion. Thus, the controller having the imaging device can be used as the input device inputting the coordinates directly and as the pen tablet.
