Information processing apparatus and control method of information processing apparatus
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an operation receiver which receives an operation; and
a processor programmed todetect a direction of the operation receiver based on a signal from one or more sensors,convert an input of the operation received by the operation receiver into an output based on a first regulation, when the direction of the operation receiver is in a first state, and convert the input into an output based on a second regulation which is different from the first regulation, when the direction of the operation receiver is in a second state which is different from the first state,detect an apparatus state which is at least one of a position and a direction of the information processing apparatus based on a signal from the one or more sensors, andperform a control process of the information processing apparatus, based on the apparatus state, whereinwhen an angle formed by a direction of an orthogonal axis facing a front side from a rear side of the operation receiver and a direction of a gravitational acceleration is equal to or smaller than a predetermined angle, the processor is set to a first mode in which the operation is not received, andwhen the angle is greater than the predetermined angle, the processor is set to a second mode in which the operation is received.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes: an operation unit which receives an operation; a first detection unit which detects a direction of the operation unit; an input and output conversion unit which converts an input of the operation received by the operation unit into an output based on a first regulation, when the direction of the operation unit is in a first state, and converts the input into an output based on a second regulation which is different from the first regulation, when the direction of the operation unit is in a second state; a second detection unit which detects an apparatus state which is at least one of a position and a direction of the information processing apparatus; and a control processing unit which performs a control process of the information processing apparatus, based on the output from the input and output conversion unit and the apparatus state.

14. A control method of an information processing apparatus including an operation receiver which receives an operation, and a processor programmed to detect a direction of the operation receiver based on a signal from one or more sensors, and detect an apparatus state which is at least one of a position and a direction of the information processing apparatus based on a signal from the one or more sensors, the method comprising:
-
converting an input of the operation received by the operation receiver into an output based on a first regulation, when the direction of the operation receiver is in a first state, and converting the input into an output based on a second regulation which is different from the first regulation, when the direction of the operation receiver is in a second state which is different from the first state; and performing a control process of the information processing apparatus, based on the apparatus state, wherein when an angle formed by a direction of an orthogonal axis facing a front side from a rear side of the operation receiver and a direction of a gravitational acceleration is equal to or smaller than a predetermined angle, the processor is set to a first mode in which the operation is not received, and when the angle is greater than the predetermined angle, the processor is set to a second mode in which the operation is received.
