Abstract
A sensor module maintaining high detection accuracy. Correction data of a detected magnetic field is updated only in a case that a fluctuation band acquired from an output signal of an acceleration sensor is less than a threshold value and a difference between an azimuth angle acquired from an output signal of a terrestrial magnetism sensor and an inclination angle acquired from an output signal of acceleration sensor is less than the threshold value. Therefore, the correction data is updated only in a case that a magnetic field at a position of a mobile object is stably detected, and an accuracy of the correction data can be maintained.
