Abstract
A control system including: an input apparatus including a sensor portion; and a control apparatus including a coordinate generation portion that generates, based on a detection signal detected by the sensor portion, positional coordinates of a pointer on a screen, a selection area change portion that changes, in accordance with a level of a shake amount calculated based on the detection signal, a size of an icon selection area as an area where an icon on the screen is selected by the pointer, and a display control portion that controls display on the screen so that the pointer is displayed at a position corresponding to the positional coordinates of the pointer.
Claims15
A control system, comprising:
- an input apparatus including a sensor portion;
- and
- a control apparatus including
- a coordinate generation portion that generates, based on a detection signal detected by the sensor portion, positional coordinates of a pointer on a screen,
- a selection area change portion that changes, in accordance with a level of a shake amount calculated based on the detection signal, a size of an icon selection area as an area where an icon on the screen is selected by the pointer, and
- a display control portion that controls display on the screen so that the pointer is displayed at a position corresponding to the positional coordinates of the pointer.
A control apparatus controlling display on a screen based on a detection signal detected by a sensor portion of an input apparatus, comprising:
- a coordinate generation portion configured to generate, based on the detection signal, positional coordinates of a pointer on the screen;
- a selection area change portion configured to change, in accordance with a level of a shake amount calculated based on the detection signal, a size of an icon selection area as an area where an icon on the screen is selected by the pointer;
- and
- a display control portion configured to control the display on the screen so that the pointer is displayed at a position corresponding to the positional coordinates of the pointer.
A handheld apparatus, comprising:
- a display portion including a screen;
- a sensor portion;
- a coordinate generation portion configured to generate, based on a detection signal detected by the sensor portion, positional coordinates of a pointer on the screen;
- a selection area change portion configured to change, in accordance with a level of a shake amount calculated based on the detection signal, a size of an icon selection area as an area where an icon on the screen is selected by the pointer;
- and
- a display control portion configured to control display on the screen so that the pointer is displayed at a position corresponding to the positional coordinates of the pointer.
A control method, comprising:
- generating, based on a detection signal detected by a sensor portion, positional coordinates of a pointer on a screen;
- changing, in accordance with a level of a shake amount calculated based on the detection signal, a size of an icon selection area as an area where an icon on the screen is selected by the pointer;
- and
- controlling display on the screen so that the pointer is displayed at a position corresponding to the positional coordinates of the pointer.
A program causing a computer to execute the steps of:
- generating, based on a detection signal detected by a sensor portion, positional coordinates of a pointer on a screen;
- changing, in accordance with a level of a shake amount calculated based on the detection signal, a size of an icon selection area as an area where an icon on the screen is selected by the pointer;
- and
- controlling display on the screen so that the pointer is displayed at a position corresponding to the positional coordinates of the pointer.
