Abstract

An information processing device acquires an output value in accordance with a state in which an operating device is held, acquires the output value in accordance with a predetermined first holding state of the operating device as a first reference value, acquires the output value in accordance with a predetermined second holding state of the operating device, different from the first holding state, as a second reference value, and calculates a state value indicative of the state in which the operating device is held, which is in accordance with the acquired output value, based on the first reference value and the second reference value.

Claims (13)

1. An information processing device having application execution means for executing an application program for carrying out a process in accordance with a state in which an operating device is held, comprising:

state value acquiring means for acquiring state values indicative of the state in which the operating device is held every predetermined period of time as a state value array;

parameter set holding means for holding a plurality of parameter sets including at least one parameter for use in a predetermined filtering process;

parameter set selection means for selecting one parameter set from among the plurality of held parameter sets, according to an instruction from the application execution means; and

filtering means for carrying out the predetermined filtering process relative to the acquired state value array, using the selected parameter set,

wherein

the application execution means carries out a process using the state value acquired as a result of the filtering process, wherein the predetermined filtering process is a low pass filtering process to remove a frequency component equal to or larger than a cut-off frequency corresponding to the selected parameter set and in the acquired state value array.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the parameter set holding means holds a plurality of parameter sets for use in the low pass filtering process for filtering out different frequency components.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the state value acquiring means acquires a plurality of kinds of state value array according to a plurality of kinds of state value indicative of the state in which the operating device is held,

the parameter set holding means holds a plurality of parameter sets for each of the plurality of kinds of state value array,

the parameter set selection means selects one parameter set for each of the plurality of kinds of state value array, and

the filtering means carries out the filtering process, using the parameter set selected, with respect to each of the plurality of kinds of state value array.
