On the other hand, when the controller 20 classifies the input mode selected by the user as not the composite mode according to the current input state in step S313, the controller 20 switches the control flow to step S10 to initialize the input state and provides the input. Proceed with the steps sequentially.

In the classification mode setting step S317, the controller 20 determines whether a mode selected by the current user is a directional exercise mode or a push exercise mode in the composite mode in which the composite switch unit is determined to operate. The classification mode setting step S317 includes an input multiple determination step S3171, an input pair determination step S3173, and an adjacent determination step S3175. The control unit 20 controls the plurality of switches in the input multiple determination step S3171. It is determined whether a plurality of input signals of the composite switch 620 is implemented. In the case of determining that the input signal is singular, that is, only one composite switch is operated in the input multiple determination step (S3171), the mode currently selected by the user is classified as a directional mode (S3177). On the other hand, in step S3171, when the controller 20 determines that the composite switch 620 has a plurality of input signals from the current input state, that is, the plurality of composite switches 620 are operated, the controller 20 controls the flow of control. Proceed to step S3173. In the input pair determination step (S3173), it is determined whether there are two composite switches operated. When the control unit 20 determines that the two switches are operated, the control unit 20 advances the control flow to step S3175. In the adjacent determination step (S3175), the controller 20 determines whether the two composite switches that are operated are adjacent to each other. That is, when the two composite switches are adjacent to each other, the control unit 20 determines that the switch is in the directional movement mode, not the push movement mode, and classifies the mode selected by the current user as the directional mode (S3177). On the other hand, when the two composite switches that are operated are not adjacent to each other, the control unit 20 determines that the push motion mode is selected and the mode currently selected by the user is classified as the push mode (S3179).
