Operation instructing device, operation instructing method, and operation instructing program
First Claim
1. An operation instructing device included in a portable apparatus, said device comprising:
- an area setting unit operable to set a movement detection area for a specific user, based on motion values resulting from movements unique to the user;
an instructing unit operable, when in a setting mode, to instruct a plurality of movements, the setting mode being a state in which the area setting unit is activated;
a detecting unit operable to detect, for each of the instructed movements, motion values of the portable apparatus that result from user movements in accordance with the instructed movements; and
an assigning unit operable to assign each of a plurality of operation instructions relating to a function of the portable apparatus to different sub areas of the movement detection area.

Abstract
An operation instructing device is included substantially at the center of a portable apparatus, and has a sensor for detecting motion values of the portable apparatus. A user performs various movements instructed by an instructing unit, while holding the portable apparatus. The motion values detected by the sensor are normalized by an analyzing unit, and then an area setting unit sets a movement detecting area personally for the user. An assigning unit obtains operation instructions for each function of the portable apparatus, and generates an operation instruction table in which each instruction operation is assigned to a sub area of the movement detection area. A judging unit judges within which sub area the motion value notified by the analyzing unit falls, and outputs the operation instruction that is assigned to the sub area within which the judging unit judged that the notified motion value falls.

9. A computer operation instructing program that executes an operation instructing method in which a sensor included in a portable apparatus detects motion values of the portable apparatus that result from user movements, the program comprising the steps of:
-
instructing a plurality of movements in a setting mode; detecting, by the sensor, motion values of the portable apparatus that result from the user movements; setting a movement detection area, based on motion values for each of the instructed movements; assigning each of a plurality of operation instructions relating to a function of the portable apparatus to different sub areas of the movement detection area; judging, when in a mode other than the setting mode, within which sub area the detected motion value falls; and outputting, to the portable apparatus, the operation instruction assigned to the sub area within which the detected motion value is judged to fall.

10. An operation instructing method in which a sensor included in a portable apparatus detects motion values of the portable apparatus that result from user movements, the method comprising the steps of:
-
instructing a plurality of movements in a setting mode; detecting, by the sensor, motion values of the portable apparatus that result from the user movements; setting a movement detection area, based on motion values for each of the instructed movements; assigning each of a plurality of operation instructions relating to a function of the portable apparatus to different sub areas of the movement detection area; judging, when in a mode other than the setting mode, within which sub area the detected motion value falls; and outputting, to the portable apparatus, the operation instruction assigned to the sub area within which the detected motion value is judged to fall.
