To provide an electronic apparatus, a method of detecting a tap operation, etc. for performing appropriate detection processing of a tap operation. The electronic apparatus includes a setting unitthat sets a sampling frequency for acceleration detection of an acceleration sensor, a processing unitthat performs a determination of a tap operation based on sensor information from the acceleration sensor, an operation information acquisition unitthat acquires operation information from an operation unit, and a communication unitthat performs communication processing of information, wherein, when reception of the information by the communication unitis detected or when acquisition of the operation information by the operation information acquisition unitis detected, the setting unitsets the sampling frequency to F2 as a higher frequency than the sampling frequency F1 before detection.

Electronic apparatus and method of detecting tap operation

To provide a device that efficiently selects desired data out of a large number of selectable data. A pulse meterincludes a body motion sensorthat detects body motion information concerning a limb, an inclination-angle calculating unitthat calculates an inclination angle of the limb on the basis of the body motion information, a display unitthat displays an input candidate value corresponding to the inclination angle, and a determination instructing unitthat decides the input candidate value as an input value.

Input device, information processing device, and input method

A portable electronic device (biological information measurement device) is attachable to or detachable from a cradle and includes a USB terminal portion connected to a terminal provided in the cradle, an initial start-up unit that initially starts up the biological information measurement device, a connection determination unit that determines whether the connection has been released after the USB terminal portion has been connected to a terminal portion of the cradle, and a resetting unit that causes the initial start-up unit to initially start up the biological information measurement device when it is determined by the connection determination unit that the connection has been released after the cradle has been connected to the USB terminal portion.

Portable electronic device

A biological information measurement apparatus includes a sensor unit, a processing unit which detects biological information based on sensor information from the sensor unit, a communication unit which transmits the biological information to an information processing apparatus, and a time output unit which outputs time. The communication unit obtains a delay time of the transmission timing of the biological information based on apparatus-specific information, obtains a first transmission timing based on the time output from the time output unit, and transmits the biological information at a second transmission timing delayed from a first transmission timing by the obtained delay time.
