Abstract
A system includes a controller operated by a user and one or more processors. The controller includes a plurality of pressable buttons that are independent of each other, a first sensor that detects pressing of at least one of the buttons, and a second sensor that detects approach or contact of a finger of a user to at least one of the plurality of buttons. When a movement operation to sequentially approach or contact at least two buttons with the finger of the user is performed, the one or more processors perform first processing based on an order of the buttons approached or contacted in the movement operation.
Claims23
A system comprising:
- a controller to be operated by a user;
- and
- one or more processors, wherein
- the controller comprises
- a plurality of pressable buttons that are independent of each other,
- a first sensor that detects pressing of at least one of the buttons, and
- a second sensor that detects approach or contact of a finger of a user to at least one of the plurality of buttons, and
- when a movement operation to sequentially approach or contact at least two buttons with the finger of the user is performed, the one or more processors perform first processing based on an order of the buttons approached or contacted in the movement operation.
An information processing apparatus connected to a controller to be operated by a user, the controller comprising a plurality of pressable buttons that are independent of each other, a first sensor that detects pressing of at least one of the buttons, and a second sensor that detects approach or contact of a finger of a user to at least one of the plurality of buttons, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors, wherein
- when such a movement operation that the finger of the user sequentially approaches or contacts at least two buttons is performed, the one or more processors perform first processing based on an order of the buttons approached or contacted in the movement operation.
An information processing method performed in a system comprising a controller to be operated by a user, the controller comprising a plurality of pressable buttons that are independent of each other, a first sensor that detects pressing of at least one of the buttons, and a second sensor that detects approach or contact of a finger of a user to at least one of the plurality of buttons, the information processing method comprising:
- accepting an operation by the user onto the controller;
- and
- performing, when such a movement operation that the finger of the user sequentially approaches or contacts at least two buttons is performed, first processing based on an order of the buttons approached or contacted in the movement operation.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon which, when executed, cause one or more processors of a device connected to a controller to be operated by a user to perform operations, the controller comprising a plurality of pressable buttons that are independent of each other, a first sensor that detects pressing of at least one of the buttons, and a second sensor that detects approach or contact of a finger of a user to at least one of the plurality of buttons, the operations comprising:
- accepting an operation by the user onto the controller;
- and
- performing, when such a movement operation that the finger of the user sequentially approaches or contacts at least two buttons is performed, first processing based on an order of the buttons approached or contacted in the movement operation.
