Abstract
A motion detecting unit detects a motion of an operation indication outputting device. A motion analyzing unit analyzes a direction, strength, and number of occurrence of the detected motion. A user action analyzing unit analyzes a type of a user's action by obtaining a frequency distribution from the detected motion. An operation determining unit includes a storing unit which stores operation indications that each correspond to a type of the user's action and a direction and other attributes of a motion of the operation indication outputting device caused by the user's action, and outputs an operation indication corresponding to the analysis results by the motion analyzing unit and user action analyzing unit to an information processing apparatus.
