Patent ID: 8847883

Claim:
An input apparatus comprising: an input apparatus main body with which input manipulation is performed to manipulate a manipulation target object; a first manipulation detection unit that detects a first manipulation on the input apparatus main body; a second manipulation detection unit that detects a second manipulation on the input apparatus main body after the first manipulation is detected; and a first processing unit that performs first processing for manipulation on the manipulation target object or a first response of the input apparatus, based on a movement detection value corresponding to movement of the input apparatus main body according to the first manipulation or a detection value of the first manipulation, wherein after the first manipulation is detected, second processing for manipulation on the manipulation target object or the first response of the input apparatus is performed based on a movement detection value corresponding to movement of the input apparatus main body according to the second manipulation or a detection value of the second manipulation, wherein the first manipulation detection unit and the second manipulation detection unit detect that the input apparatus main body is gripped with a pressure equal to or more than a predetermined pressure, and wherein the first processing unit includes a first response unit for giving a first response of the input apparatus based on detection of the first manipulation and a first calculation unit for performing calculation for manipulation of the manipulation target object based on the movement detection value corresponding to the movement of the input apparatus main body according to the second manipulation.
