Claims7
A wireless input apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of switches;
- a transmitting section for transmitting, in response to a turning-on of at least one switch of the plurality of switches, a prescribed signal corresponding to the turning-on of the at least one switch of the plurality of switches;
- and
- a transmission control section for measuring a time period during which an on state of the at least one switch continues and inhibiting the transmission of the prescribed signal corresponding to the turning-on of the at least one switch when the measured time period equals a first corresponding prescribed time period,
- wherein, when transmission of a first prescribed signal corresponding to a turning-on of a first switch of the plurality of switches is inhibited by the transmission control section, transmission of a second proscribed signal corresponding to a turning-on of a second switch of the plurality of switches is not inhibited, such that the transmitting section transmits the second prescribed signal in response to the turning-on of the second switch.
