Abstract

See full text

An X-axis acceleration level determining section determines whether an X-axis acceleration signal output from a three-axis acceleration sensor has a value equal to or more than a predetermined positive threshold level, a value equal to or less than a predetermined negative threshold level, a value between the positive threshold level and a level of 0, or a value between the level of 0 and the negative threshold level. A Y-axis acceleration level determining section also makes a similar determination for a Y-axis acceleration signal output from the three-axis acceleration sensor. An attitude determining section determines the rotated attitude of a device equipped with the three-axis acceleration sensor with respect to the Z axis based on results of determinations made by the X-axis acceleration level determining section and the Y-axis acceleration level determining section.
