Abstract
Movement of a cellular telephone is detected by an acceleration sensor fixed on a housing (substrate), the cellular telephone and user's operations are detected by an acceleration sensor semifixed on the housing (substrate) via a flexible member, and the user's operations are detected on the basis of a difference between these detection results and a display process corresponding to the user's operations is executed.
Claims15
An input apparatus, comprising:
- a first detector fixed on a substrate and configured to detect an acceleration;
- a second detector fixed on the substrate via a flexible member and configured to detect an acceleration;
- and
- a third detector configured to detect a user's request from a force applied to the second detector, in accordance with the acceleration detected by the first detector and the acceleration detected by the second detector.
