Patent ID: 8860547

Claim:
A control terminal wearable on a body of a user to allow the user to control a target object, the control terminal comprising: a contact detector configured to be mounted on a surface of a first portion of the body to detect whether the first portion is in contact with or separated from a second portion of the body based on whether a closed loop conducting path is formed with the first portion and the second portion; an impact detector configured to detect an impact on the control terminal; a motion detector configured to detect a motion of the user based on a result of detection by the contact detector and a result of detection by the impact detector; and a transmitter configured to transmit a control signal to the target object according to the detected motion, wherein the motion detector detects the motion of the user based on a combination of the result of detection by the contact detector and the result of detection by the impact detector at a predetermined time interval, the motion detector detects the motion of the user based on a combination of a change in the result of detection by the contact detector and a change in the result of detection by the impact detector, and when the contact detector detects the contact between the first portion and the second portion at the same time when the impact detector detects the impact, the motion detector detects that the first portion and the second portion come into contact with each other.
