Information processing apparatus and operation method of information processing apparatus
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an apparatus body including a keyboard and a display attached to each other to be opened and closed;
an acceleration sensor mounted on the apparatus body; and
circuitry mounted on the apparatus body and configured todetermine a reference posture of a holding state of the apparatus body taken when a user executes a given gesture with the apparatus body relative to an axis superimposed on and extending along an attachment point of the display and the keyboard, the reference posture being based on acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor, the circuitry determining a gesture event based on the gesture motion executed by the user by comparing a posture change of the apparatus body from the reference posture to a predetermined threshold, andexecute an operation corresponding to the determined gesture motion,wherein the given gesture is a page turning gesture identified by the circuitry based on an angle between the keyboard and display while the apparatus body is in a portrait orientation, and the operation is a page turning operation.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes: an apparatus body including a body having a keyboard and a display unit attached to the body so as to be opened and closed; an acceleration sensor mounted on the apparatus body; a gesture motion determination unit mounted on the apparatus body and determining a reference posture of a holding state of the apparatus body taken when a user executes a given gesture function while holding the apparatus body based on acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor as well as determining a gesture motion executed by the user by detecting posture change of the apparatus body from the reference posture based on acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor; and an operation execution unit mounted on the apparatus body and executing a given operation corresponding to the gesture motion executed by the user based on the determination result in the gesture motion determination unit.

8. An operation method of an information processing apparatus including an apparatus body including a body having a keyboard and a display attached to each other to be opened and closed, an acceleration sensor mounted on the apparatus body, circuitry to determine a user gesture event executed with respect to an axis superimposed on and extending along an attachment point of the display unit and keyboard of the apparatus body and to execute a given operation corresponding to the gesture event, the method comprising:
-
determining, in the circuitry, a reference posture of a holding state of the apparatus body taken when the user executes a given gesture while holding the apparatus body based on acceleration detected; determining, in the circuitry, the gesture event executed by the user by comparing posture change of the apparatus body from the reference posture to a predetermined threshold; and executing, in the operation execution unit, an operation corresponding to the determined gesture event executed by the user wherein the given gesture is a page turning gesture identified by the circuitry based on an angle between the keyboard and display while the apparatus body is in a portrait orientation, and the operation is a page turning operation.
