Title:
制御装置、入力装置、制御システム、ハンドヘルド型情報処理装置、及び制御方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5434591
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
[Object] To provide a control apparatus, an input apparatus, a control system, a control method, and a program therefor that are capable of improving operability when a user operates a GUI displayed on a screen by a pointer using the input apparatus. [Solving Means] An MPU (35) of a control apparatus (40) sets weighting factors (±, ²) for each region sectioning a screen (3). The MPU (35) multiplies the weighting factors (±, ²) to corresponding displacement amounts (V x , V y ) to independently calculate displacement amounts (X'(t), Y'(t)) of a pointer (2) on the screen (3). Accordingly, a movement direction of the pointer (2) can be biased in a predetermined direction. Thus, when a user operates an input apparatus (1) to select an icon (4) aligned in a 1-dimensional direction on the screen (3), for example, an operation of the pointer can be restricted to that 1-dimensional direction. Therefore, the user can easily select the icon, thus improving operability of the pointer.
