  Such a conventional electronic device has a problem in that processing using text cannot be performed.

  That is, in the above-described conventional configuration, the output of the arithmetic processing unit 4 can be output only with characters as “images” drawn by moving the mouse 3 by the user, and therefore processing using text cannot be performed. It was.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to enable processing using text based on an input using an angular velocity sensor.

  In order to achieve this object, the present invention includes an arithmetic processing unit to which a detection signal from an angular velocity sensor is input, and a text data storage unit electrically connected to the arithmetic processing unit, and the text data The storage unit stores a plurality of text data, and the electronic processing unit selects and outputs the text data that the arithmetic processing unit determines to be closest to the detection signal.

  With this configuration, it is possible to select and output text data that is determined to be closest to the detection signal by the arithmetic processing unit. Therefore, it is possible to perform processing using text based on input using an angular velocity sensor. It can be done.

(Embodiment 1)
Hereinafter, the electronic apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, an arithmetic processing unit 12 to which a detection signal from the angular velocity sensor 11 is input and a text data storage unit 13 electrically connected to the arithmetic processing unit 12 are provided. A plurality of text data are stored.

  Then, the text processing unit 12 selects the text data determined to be closest to the detection signal, and outputs the text data as an output signal. Then, this output signal is transmitted to the display 14 and displayed.

  Specifically, when the mouse 15 with the built-in angular velocity sensor 11 is moved in an arbitrary space so as to draw the English letter “A” as shown in FIG. 2, the angular velocity sensor 11 built in the mouse 15. When the angular velocity sensor 11 detects the angular velocity, a detection signal is generated and transmitted to the arithmetic processing unit 12. Then, the arithmetic processing unit 12 determines that “A” as text data is the closest to the detection signal from among the plurality of text data stored in the text data storage unit 13. Then, the text data “A” determined to be the closest is displayed on the display 14.

  With such a configuration, since the text data determined to be closest to the detection signal by the arithmetic processing unit 12 can be selected and output, processing based on text can be performed based on input using the angular velocity sensor. It can be done.

  Furthermore, using this text data, the electronic device can have a search function.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 1, it is assumed that a storage unit 16 is connected to the arithmetic processing unit 12 and a plurality of sound sources are stored in association with artist names (or song names) in the storage unit 16. In this state, when the mouse 15 is moved in an arbitrary space so as to draw the English letter “A” as shown in FIG. 2, the angular velocity is applied to the angular velocity sensor 11 built in the mouse 15, and this angular velocity is converted into the angular velocity sensor. A detection signal is created by the detection by 11 and transmitted to the arithmetic processing unit 12. Then, the arithmetic processing unit 12 determines that “A” as text data is the closest to the detection signal from among the plurality of text data stored in the text data storage unit 13. Then, the artist name (or song name) starting from the text data “A” determined to be the closest is retrieved by the arithmetic processing unit 12 and displayed on the display 14.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, an integrated portable music playback device having the three-component configuration of the electronic device, the mouse 15 as an input device, and the display 14 as an output device in the present embodiment shown in FIG. It can also be used.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the portable music player 17 includes an angular velocity sensor 21 in the housing 17 </ b> A, an arithmetic processing unit 22 to which a detection signal from the angular velocity sensor 21 is input, and an arithmetic processing unit 22. The text data storage unit 23 is electrically connected, and the text data storage unit 23 stores a plurality of text data. Reference numeral 26 denotes a storage unit connected to the arithmetic processing unit 22. The storage unit 26 stores a plurality of sound sources in association with artist names (or song names). When the portable music player 17 is moved in an arbitrary space so as to draw the English letter “A” as shown in FIG. 2, an angular velocity is applied to the angular velocity sensor 21 built in the portable music player 17. When the angular velocity sensor 21 detects this angular velocity, a detection signal is created and transmitted to the arithmetic processing unit 22. Then, the arithmetic processing unit 22 determines that “A” as the text data is the closest to the detection signal from the plurality of text data stored in the text data storage unit 23. Then, an artist name (or song name) starting from the text data “A” determined to be the closest can be searched by the arithmetic processing unit 22 and displayed on the display 24.

  The electronic device according to the present invention has an effect that processing using text can be performed based on an input using an angular velocity sensor, and is useful in an electronic device such as a computer.
