US 2017/0254830 A1 · MOTION DETECTING DEVICE, PORTABLE TERMINAL DEVICE AND MOTION DETECTING METHOD

Abstract

A motion detecting device has: an input section to which acceleration signals, that express accelerations of respective axes of three axes of a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system, are respectively inputted; and a motion detecting section that sets each of plural axes, that include two different axes that are selected from among the three axes, as a designated axis in a predetermined order, and outputs a motion detection signal if it is judged that directions of motion, that are detected on the basis of the acceleration signals of the respective axes that were inputted to the input section, are directions of respective designated axes that have been set.

Dependent claims

A motion detecting device comprising:

a storage section that stores order information that designates an order for performing
a sequence of reciprocating motions along a sequence of designated axes;
and
a motion detecting section that detects the sequence of reciprocating motions based on change in acceleration signals, and outputs a motion detection signal upon judgment that the sequence of reciprocating motions have been performed in the order designated by the order information.

A motion detecting method comprising:

by a processor:
storing, in a storage section, order information that designates an order for performing a sequence of reciprocating motions along a sequence of predetermined axes;
and
detecting the sequence of reciprocating motions based on change in acceleration signals detected by an acceleration sensor, and outputs a motion detection signal upon judgment that the sequence of reciprocating motions have been performed in the order designated by the order information.
