10. A device, comprising:
-
a first detector configured to detect a magnitude and a direction of acceleration; a second detector configured to detect a change in the device'"'"'s own attitude; and a controller configured to operate either in a first mode in which the device'"'"'s own attitude is determined by the direction of the acceleration indicated by a result of detection obtained by the first detector or in a second mode in which the device'"'"'s own attitude is determined by tracking changes in its own attitude based on a result of detection obtained by the second detector, wherein when the magnitude of acceleration indicated by a result of detection obtained by the first detector falls within a predetermined range that is defined with respect to the magnitude of the acceleration of gravity, the controller operates in the first mode, and when the magnitude of acceleration indicated by the result of detection obtained by the first detector falls out of the predetermined range, the controller operates in the second mode. - View Dependent Claims (11)
