Abstract
A mouse has an aperture of a light guide path linked to a sensor for operating the mouse, in a bottom surface of the mouse. It is determined whether the mouse is in a first orientation in which the bottom surface is exposed, based on first data output from the mouse. When it is determined that the mouse is in the first orientation, a first game process is executed based on second data that is output from the sensor for operating the mouse when an object to be detected is positioned closer to the aperture.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining whether a mouse is in a first orientation in which a bottom surface of the mouse is exposed, based on inertial sensor data output from an inertial sensor included in the mouse;
- and
- in response to a determination that the mouse is in the first orientation, executing a first game process based on the inertial sensor data, and mouse sensor data output from a mouse sensor included in the mouse, wherein the mouse sensor is configured to detect light entering through an aperture in the bottom surface.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored therein instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- determining whether a mouse is in a first orientation in which a bottom surface of the mouse is exposed, based on inertial sensor data output from an inertial sensor included in the mouse;
- and
- in response to a determination that the mouse is in the first orientation, executing a first game process based on the inertial sensor data, and mouse sensor data output from a mouse sensor included in the mouse, wherein the mouse sensor is configured to detect light entering through an aperture in the bottom surface.
A game system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a mouse;
- and
- one or more memories storing instructions to perform operations comprising:
- determining whether the mouse is in a first orientation in which a bottom surface of the mouse is exposed, based on inertial sensor data output from an inertial sensor included in the mouse;
- and
- in response to a determination that the mouse is in the first orientation, executing a first game process based on the inertial sensor data, and mouse sensor data output from a mouse sensor included in the mouse, wherein the mouse sensor is configured to detect light entering through an aperture in the bottom surface.
