Abstract

This aims to provide an input device, a control device, etc. that can stop an erroneous shift of an image displayed on a screen when a user operates an operation unit provided at an input device. An MPU (19) stores a displacement corresponding amount (velocity value) at a memory. When a switch of a button (11) becomes a turn-on state, the switch starts to generate an operation signal and outputs the operation signal to the MPU (19). When the input of the operation signal starts, the MPU (19) reads out the displacement corresponding amount stored at the memory, and calculates and outputs a first correcting displacement amount. In accordance with this first correcting displacement amount, coordinate values of a pointer before the switch becomes the turn-on state from the time when a user pushes the button (11) can be corrected, so that an erroneous shift of the pointer can be prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a three-dimensional operation input device for operating a GUI (Graphical User Interface), a control device for controlling the GUI according to operation information, a control system including these devices, a handheld device and a control method. Background technique [0002] Pointing devices such as mice and touch panels, specifically, are used as controllers for GUIs widely used in PCs (Personal Computers). The GUI is not only the HI (Human Machine Interface) of the prior art PC, but is now beginning to be used as an interface for AV equipment and game devices used in living rooms with televisions as image media. Various pointing devices capable of 3-dimensional manipulation by the user have been proposed as controllers for this type of GUI (for example, see Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3). [0003] Patent Document 1 discloses an input device including a two-axis angular velocity gyros...

Problems solved by technology

However, there is a case where, when the user performs input with the command input key using the three-dimensional operation input device, the pointing device itself is moved by the operation caused by pressing the command input key, and the pointer is thus moved along with the pointing device.

As a result, there was a problem of performing an operation not intended by the user, such as the pointer being moved from the icon that was the target of the operation, the command could not be issued, or although the click operation was intended, due to the pointer moving while the user was pressing the button, dragged
