Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An operation input device includes: angular velocity detecting means for detecting an angular velocity; relative velocity detecting means for contactlessly detecting a relative velocity to a target object; distance detecting means for detecting a distance to the target object; and computing means for computing an amount of movement based on the angular velocity, the relative velocity, and the distance.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An electronic apparatus, comprising: circuitry configured to: detect an angular velocity of the electronic apparatus; contactlessly detect a relative velocity of the electronic apparatus in reference to a target object; detect a distance of the electronic apparatus to the target object; and compute an amount of movement of the electronic apparatus based on the angular velocity, the relative velocity, and the distance, without communicating with another…
