<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an input device, a control apparatus, and a control method for the input device, allowing reduction of power consumption. <P>SOLUTION: The control apparatus 40 includes an MPU (Micro Processing Unit) 35 for deciding a mode of a transition destination of this input device 1 based on a table wherein an icon 4A or 4B selected by a user, and the transition destination of the input device 1 when the icon 4A or 4B is selected are associated. The control apparatus 40 includes a transmitter/receiver 38 for transmitting a mode change command 400 to the input device 1 based on a decision result thereof. As a result, the control apparatus 40 transmits the mode change command 400 to the input device 1 according to the selected icon 4B. The input device 1 receives the mode change command 400, changes over between a free mode and a non-free mode such that the mode corresponds to a display screen 3C or the like displayed on a display device 5, and turns off at least a switch 51 of an angular velocity sensor unit 15. Thereby, the power consumption of the input device 1 can be reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
