Information processing method, information processing apparatus, and magnetic element

Abstract

To provide a low-power-consumption information processing method, information processing apparatus, and magnetic element that, without requiring power for input, can be used as an independent information processing device (such as a sensor) with no power supply, can be made compact, and can be implemented at low cost. A magnetic body layer 3 made of one or a plurality of magnetic bodies 4 is provided on an elastically deformable substrate 2, a magnetization orientation of the magnetic body responding to strain, a magnetization state including at least the magnetization orientation of the magnetic body 4 constituting the magnetic body layer 3 is detected by a detection device, and information on the magnetization state is output as a result of an input of strain to the substrate.
