Claim 8:
9. An operation method comprising the steps of:
detecting, from an output of a force sensor, a direction of a force or a moment applied to the force sensor a plurality of times before generating an operation signal; and
generating an operation signal after detecting the direction of the force or the moment applied to the force sensor a plurality of times in a same direction as a result of applying the force to the force sensor in the same direction a plurality of times, the operation signal being for an object to be operated in accordance with the direction detected,
wherein the direction is a direction assigned to an operation to be carried out, and the control section generates the operation signal for the object to be operated in accordance with the direction detected in a case where between applications of the force to the stick body in the same direction a plurality of times, a downward force is applied to the stick body.
