INPUT APPARATUS, CONTROL APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR INPUT APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An input apparatus capable of transmitting a signal corresponding to an operation by a user to a control apparatus capable of switching display among a plurality of display screens, comprising:
- a first detection means for detecting analog information on a movement of the input apparatus made by the user;
a second detection means for detecting digital information input by the user; and
a mode switch means for making 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.

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.
