Input apparatus, control apparatus, and control method for input apparatus

摘要

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.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus for use in switching display among a plurality of display screens, the information processing apparatus comprising:
a processing section to process information produced by at least one sensor as a result of a user operation, the processing section having an operation frequency; and a mode switch section to initiate a switch between a first mode in which a first signal that is based on first information is processed and a second mode in which a second signal that is based on second information is processed, in association with a display screen, the mode switch section being configured to process the first signal for transitioning to a first display screen corresponding to the first mode in response to detection of first information indicating a switch to the first mode, and to process the second signal for transitioning to a second display screen corresponding to the second mode in response to detection of second information indicating a switch to the second mode; wherein the mode switch section is configured to reduce consumption of power in response to initiating a switch between the first mode and the second mode by modifying an operation frequency of the processing section.
