[0065] The overall structure of the system and the structure of the components

[0066] figure 1 A control system 100 including an input device 10 represents an embodiment of the present invention.

[0067] Such as figure 1 As shown, the control system 100 includes an input device 10 , a control device 50 and a display device 60 .

[0068] Structure of the input device 10

[0069] figure 2 Indicates the state when the user holds the input device 10 .

[0070] Such as figure 2 As shown, the input device 10 has a spherical shape. The input device 10 is slightly larger or smaller than a hard baseball used in baseball, and its diameter is, for example, about 50 mm to 100 mm. Thus, the input device 10 has a size that the user can easily hold. Note that the diameter of the input device 10 is not limited to the above range, and of course other values ​​may also be used.

[0147] Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0148] The above-mentioned embodiments have explained the following situation: when the user intends to start or stop operating the operation target, and holds the input device 10 with a force greater than or equal to a predetermined force or reduces the grip force, the input device 10 will utilize the response realized by clicking trigger or the like. return.

[0149] The difference between the third embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiments is that when the user performs a three-dimensional operation on the input device 10, in addition to the response realized by using the click trigger, the input device 10 also returns the response realized by using the click trigger or the like. Respond to different responses. Therefore, the following will mainly explain this point.

[0150] Note that in this specification, for example, the response realized by the click trigger generated by the input devi...

[0171] Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0172] Here, a case will be described where an operation target displayed three-dimensionally on the display device 60 is enlarged or reduced when the user moves the input device 10 forward or backward while / after holding the input device 10 with a force greater than a predetermined force.

[0173] In this case, when the user's arm is fully extended or fully bent, the user cannot zoom in or out on the operation target.

[0174] In this regard, in the input device 10 of the fourth embodiment, even when the input device 10 is hardly moved, when the input device 10 is held with a certain amount of force, an operation can be performed to continue the operation target. Move (zoom in or out).

[0175] Figure 10 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the input device according to the fourth embodiment.

[0176] The CPU 11 of the input device 10 determines whether the input device 10 has moved for...

Abstract

An input apparatus includes: an input apparatus main body that is used to make an input for operating an operation target; a grip detection portion configured to detect that a user has gripped the input apparatus main body with a predetermined force or more; a motion detection portion configured to detect a movement of the input apparatus main body and output a movement detection value corresponding to the movement of the input apparatus main body; a controller configured to execute, while and / or after the grip of the input apparatus main body is being detected by the grip detection portion, processing for controlling the operation target based on the movement detection value; and a first response portion configured to return, when at least the grip of the input apparatus main body is detected by the grip detection portion, a first response to the user irrespective of the control of the controller.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] The present application contains subject matter related to the disclosure of Japanese Priority Patent Application JP 2010-160310 filed in the Japan Patent Office on Jul. 15, 2010, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to an input device to which an input for performing, for example, two-dimensional or three-dimensional manipulation of an operation target is input. Background technique [0004] For example, a mouse is a widely used input device for operating two-dimensionally displayed Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) on a monitor. In recent years, in addition to the plane operation type input device represented by the mouse, various three-dimensional operation type input devices have been proposed (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. Sho 64-28720 (page 2, and Figure 1~3 ), hereinafter referred to as Pate...
