Input apparatus, control apparatus, and control method for input apparatus
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor configured to;
acquire one of first information indicating a first mode and second information indicating a second mode;
in response to determining that first information is acquired, control, based on the acquired first information, at least one sensor to operate in the first mode to acquire user movement information, wherein the at least one processor operates at a first operation frequency when the at least one sensor is controlled to operate in the first mode;
in response to determining that second information is acquired, control, based on the acquired second information, the at least one sensor to operate in the second mode, wherein the at least one processor operates at a second operation frequency, lower than the first operation frequency, when the at least one sensor is controlled to operate in the second mode; and
control a display device based at least in part on input sensed by the at least one sensor operating in the first mode or the second mode.

Abstract
An input apparatus capable of transmitting a signal corresponding to an operation of a user to a control apparatus capable of switching display among a plurality of display screens, includes a first detection section, a second detection section, and a mode switch section. The first detection section detects analog information on a movement of the input apparatus made by the user. The second detection section detects digital information input by the user. The mode switch section makes a switch between a first mode for transmitting to the control apparatus a first signal that is based on the analog information detected by the first detection means and a second mode for transmitting to the control apparatus a second signal that is based on the digital information detected by the second detection means, in association with the display screen displayed on the control apparatus.

12. A control method, performed by an information processing apparatus comprising at least one processor, the control method comprising acts of:
-
(A) the at least one processor acquiring one of first information indicating a first mode and second information indicating a second mode; (B) in response to determining that first information is acquired, the at least one processor controlling, based on the acquired first information, at least one sensor to operate in the first mode to acquire user movement information, wherein the at least one processor operates at a first operation frequency when the at least one sensor is controlled to operate in the first mode; (C) in response to determining that second information is acquired, the at least one processor controlling, based on the acquired second information, the at least one sensor to operate in the second mode, wherein the at least one processor operates at a second operation frequency, lower than the first operation frequency, when the at least one sensor is controlled to operate in the second mode; and (D) the at least one processor controlling a display device based at least in part on input sensed by the at least one sensor operating in the first mode or the second mode.
