Patent ID: 8542188

Claim:
An input apparatus, comprising: a main body; a movement detection means for detecting a movement of the main body; a velocity-related value calculation means for calculating a velocity-related value that is related to a velocity of the detected movement of the main body; an output means for attenuating an output value of a predetermined frequency range out of an output value as the calculated velocity-related value by a scale factor of a scale profile set in accordance with the velocity-related value, and outputting the attenuated output value as a corresponding movement value that corresponds to a movement of a pointer on a screen; a storage means for storing a plurality of pieces of identification information for identifying a plurality of users and information on the scale profile set for each of the plurality of pieces of identification information in association with each other; and an output control means for controlling the output means to output, when one of the plurality of pieces of identification information is selected by a manual input of one of the plurality of users, the corresponding movement value based on the information on the scale profile that corresponds to the selected identification information out of the plurality of pieces of information on the scale profile.
