Abstract:
1. An operation terminal comprising: a spherical object; an electric power acquisition section, comprising a piezoelectric element, to convert energy generated by rotation of the spherical object by a force applied by a user into energy for striking the piezoelectric element; a capacitor section to acquire and accumulate electric power generated by striking the piezoelectric element; an input section to accept input of operation information including a command for designating processing that an information processing apparatus is caused to execute; a command acquisition section to acquire the command from the operation information, wherein the input of the operation information is accepted by the input section; a trigger packet generation section to generate, when the command is acquired by the command acquisition section, a trigger packet which is smaller than a command packet including the command; an electric power-supply control section to supply the electric power accumulated in the capacitor section; and a transmission section to transmit the trigger packet generated by the trigger packet generation section to the information processing apparatus via a wireless signal by using the electric power supplied from the electric power-supply control section.
