INPUT APPARATUS, HANDHELD APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD
First Claim
1. An input apparatus, comprising:
- a motion signal output means for detecting a movement of an object for controlling a movement of an image displayed on a screen and outputting a motion signal corresponding to the movement of the object;
a control command generation means for generating a control command that corresponds to the motion signal and is generated for controlling the movement of the image;
an operation signal output means for detecting a user operation that is unrelated to the control of the movement of the image and outputting an operation signal that is based on the operation;
an operation command generation means for generating an operation command based on the operation signal; and
a control means for controlling the control command generation means to generate, in temporal relation with a generation timing of the operation command, the control command in which a sensitivity of the movement of the image with respect to the movement of the object is changed.

Abstract
An input apparatus includes: a motion signal output section to detect a movement of an object for controlling a movement of an image displayed on a screen and output a motion signal corresponding to the movement of the object; a control command generation section to generate a control command corresponding to the motion signal for controlling the movement of the image; an operation signal output section to detect a user operation unintended for the control of the movement of the image and output an operation signal based on the operation; an operation command generation section to generate an operation command based on the operation signal; and a control section to control the control command generation section to generate, in temporal relation with a generation timing of the operation command, the control command with a sensitivity of the movement of the image with respect to the movement of the object changed.
