Abstract:
1. An electronic apparatus, comprising: a display; key operation means including keys to be operated by a user; detection means for detecting a motion of the electronic apparatus; memory means for storing motion identification data for identifying the motion of the electronic apparatus, wherein the motion identification data is stored in response to a predetermined key operation by the user on the key operation means, wherein the motion identification data includes reference data that is determined in response to the predetermined key operation and that identifies a range of motion of the electronic apparatus corresponding to a specific process executed on the electronic apparatus, the range of motion being set using the predetermined key operation, and wherein the reference data is used to control the specific process according to the range of motion that is set using the predetermined key operation, wherein the predetermined key operation is operated at least a first time to start a setting process for setting the range of motion and is operated at least a second time to finish the setting process for setting the range of motion; guidance information output means for outputting guidance information for guiding an operation of the electronic apparatus for generating motion of the electronic apparatus corresponding to the specific process after the predetermined key operation; storage means for storing detection data on the motion of the electronic apparatus, the motion being detected by the detection means after the predetermined key operation and after the guidance information output means outputs the guidance information; and control means for executing the specific process according to the comparison results between the detection data, obtained by detecting the motion of the electronic apparatus with the detection means after storing the motion identification data, and the motion identification data, wherein the specific process includes altering an image displayed on the display according to the comparison results between the detection data and the motion identification data, and wherein the display guides operation of the predetermined key operation for the setting process to set the range of motion using the guidance information displayed on the display according to the following: (a) the guidance information guides operation of the predetermined key operation to start a setting process for a maximum pitch angle, guides tilting of the electronic apparatus to a pitch angle selected by a user as the maximum pitch angle, and, while the electronic apparatus is at the pitch angle selected as the maximum pitch angle, guides operation of the predetermined key operation again to finish the setting process for the maximum pitch angle; (b) the guidance information guides operation of the predetermined key operation to start a setting process for a maximum roll angle, guides tilting of the electronic apparatus to a roll angle selected by a user as the maximum roll angle, and, while the electronic apparatus is at the roll angle selected as the maximum roll angle, guides operation of the predetermined key operation again to finish the setting process for the maximum roll angle; and (c) the guidance information guides operation of the predetermined key operation to start a setting process for a maximum yaw angle, guides tilting of the electronic apparatus to a roll angle selected by a user as the maximum yaw angle, and, while the electronic apparatus is at the yaw angle selected as the maximum yaw angle, guides operation of the predetermined key operation again to finish the setting process for the maximum yaw angle.
