Storage medium having stored thereon program for adjusting pointing device, and pointing device
First Claim
1. A storage medium having stored thereon a program for adjusting executed in a computer of a pointing device for obtaining input data from an input apparatus provided with an imaging means for imaging a known imaging objective, the input data being one of data of an imaged image obtained by the imaging means and data obtained by performing a predetermined operation on the obtained data of the imaged image, and performing information processing using the input data to output to a display apparatus, whereinsaid program for adjusting has said computer execute:
- a display surface width obtaining step of obtaining a maximum width of a display surface of said display apparatus;
an appropriate distance determining step of determining an appropriate distance between said input apparatus and said display apparatus according to the maximum width of said display surface obtained in said display surface width obtaining step;
a current distance calculating step of calculating a current distance from said input apparatus to said imaging objective based on said input data; and
a notifying step of making a notification according to relation between said appropriate distance and said current distance.

Abstract
A pointing device includes a controller for pointing a position on a display surface by imaging an imaging objective such as two markers positioned with a predetermined interval therebetween in a vicinity of the display surface of a monitor. With the pointing device, a width of the display surface and the interval between the markers are obtained to determine an appropriate distance between the controller and the monitor. Further, a current distance between the controller and the monitor (markers) is calculated. Relation between the current distance and the appropriate distance is notified by such as image display or sound output. For example, an image indicating the appropriate distance and an adjustment image varying in size in conjunction with the current distance are displayed on the monitor.
