Abstract
In a measured-value converting process, a shape-condition converting process and an absolute coordinate system converting process (S) are performed on a value measured by a sensor. In the shape-condition converting process, when a mobile terminal has a shapeand shape, the converting process is not performed (Sand S). When the mobile terminal has a shape, a converting process of rotating through 180° around Yaxis is performed (S). Moreover, when the mobile terminal has a shape, a converting process of rotating through 180° around Zaxis (S) is performed. Therefore, even in an information processing apparatus of which a shape changes, a sensor which detects a movement of the information processing apparatus can be used as an input device, irrespective of the shape.
