1. A portable operation device for controlling a user interface on a display, the portable operation device comprising:
- a plurality of sensors including an acceleration sensor and a gyroscope;
a user input device comprising a directional pad and a button;
wherein the display includes a plurality of objects disposed in a virtual three-dimensional space viewed from a viewpoint;
circuitry configured to receive sensor information from the plurality of sensors to detect movement of the portable operation device by a user;
wherein the viewpoint is moved in the virtual-three dimensional space according to the detected movement,wherein the user operates the directional pad to move a cursor on the display and operates the button to select an object from the plurality of objects based on the viewpoint,wherein a leftward tilt movement of the portable operation device causes a leftward movement of a position of the viewpoint in the virtual three-dimensional space, andwherein a rightward tilt of the portable operation device causes a rightward movement of the position of the viewpoint in the virtual three-dimensional space.

Abstract
To provide an information output system and an information output method capable of providing appropriate information for the user'"'"'s current situation. The operation device comprises a state detection section for detecting a posture of the operation device, and a state information transmission section for transmitting state information to a home-use computer based on the state detected by the state detection section. The home-use computer outputs information depending on the state information transmitted by the state information transmission section.

13. A method for controlling a viewpoint on a display using a portable operation device, the method:
-
displaying, on the display, a plurality of objects disposed in a virtual three-dimensional space viewed from the viewpoint; receiving sensor information from a plurality of sensors including an acceleration sensor and a gyroscope; detecting movement of the portable operation device by a user using the sensor information; moving the viewpoint in the virtual-three dimensional space according to the detected movement; and select an object from the plurality of objects by operating a directional pad to move a cursor to the object and operating a button to select the object, wherein a leftward tilt movement of the portable operation device causes a leftward movement of a position of the viewpoint in the virtual three-dimensional space, and wherein a rightward tilt of the portable operation device causes a rightward movement of the position of the viewpoint in the virtual three-dimensional space. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
