A portable information terminal includes: a position detecting section that detects a position of the portable information terminal; a selecting section that selects a guidance target object for which voice guidance is to be provided, and detects a guidance target direction that is a direction in which the guidance target object exists with respect to a reference direction, on the basis of a direction in which the guidance target object exists with respect to the position of the portable information terminal; a voice synthesis section that generates a synthetic voice so that a guidance voice for the guidance target object selected by the selecting section is heard from the guidance target direction; and a voice output section that outputs the synthetic voice generated by the voice synthesis section.

There is provided a disc drive adopting a slot-in loading by which an optical disc (2) is loaded into or ejected out of the device body through a disc slot. The disc drive can have loaded therein a large-diameter optical disc (2A) and small-diameter optical disc (2B), different in outside diameter from each other. With the small-diameter optical disc being set on a turn-table (23a), an objective lens (25a) is retreated in a direction away from the signal recording surface of the small-diameter optical disc when a pickup moving mechanism (26) moves an optical pickup (25) between the outer and inner radii of the small-diameter optical disc.

Disclosed is a disk drive apparatus including a chassis having a disk insertion slot through which a disk-type recording medium is inserted and/or ejected; a disk transfer mechanism by which the disk-type recording medium is transferred between a disk ejection position and a disk loading position. The apparatus further includes a rotational drive mechanism including a disk loading portion; an optical pickup configured to record and/or reproduce an information signal on the disk-type recording medium; a pickup movement mechanism by which the optical pickup is moved along an information recording surface of the disk-type recording medium. The apparatus still further includes a base member with the rotational drive mechanism, the optical pickup and the pickup movement mechanism; and a base movement mechanism; and an attitude adjustment mechanism.

An information processing apparatus includes a sensor electrode, a detection unit, and a determination unit. The sensor electrode has a capacitance changed in accordance with an operation to an operation surface. The detection unit is configured to detect, based on a change of the capacitance, a displacement of an operation point of the operation surface. The determination unit is configured to determine a press to the operation surface based on a displacement of a capacitance value of the sensor electrode and the displacement of the operation point.

An input apparatus, a control apparatus, a control system, and a control method that are capable of correcting an output signal when a hand movement is input to the input apparatus and with which a user does not feel a phase delay are provided. An input apparatus includes a velocity calculation section, a filter, a control section, and a memory. The velocity calculation section calculates velocity values of a casing in X′- and Y′-axis directions based on physical amounts output from a sensor unit like acceleration values in the X′- and Y′-axis directions output from an acceleration sensor unit. The filter attenuates, by predetermined scale factors, velocity values of signals of the predetermined frequency range out of the velocity values calculated by the velocity calculation section. Since the filter dynamically attenuates the velocity values of a shake frequency range in accordance with the velocity values, a precise pointing operation with a pointer becomes possible.

A worm wheel (50) is structured integrally with an output shaft (52). The worm wheel (50) includes the output shaft (52), a circular flange (50a) with the output shaft (52) placed as the center, and teeth (50b) formed on the periphery of the flange (50a) and in mesh with a worm. The flange (50a) is provided with a first recessed flange portion (50c) opposite to the side of the output shaft (52), and the bottom (54) of the first recessed flange portion (50c) has a ring-shaped first planar portion (54a).

An input apparatus, a control apparatus, a control system, and a control method that are capable of making a movement of a pointer on a screen a natural movement that matches an intuition of a user are provided. An input apparatus includes a casing, an acceleration sensor, and an angular velocity sensor. The acceleration sensor detects an acceleration value of the casing in a first direction. The angular velocity sensor detects an angular velocity about an axis in a second direction different from the first direction. Instead of calculating a velocity value of the casing by simply integrating the detected acceleration value, the velocity value of the casing in the first direction is calculated based on the acceleration value and the angular velocity value that have been detected. As a result, a highly-accurate calculation of the velocity value of the casing becomes possible, and a movement of a pointer on a screen becomes a natural movement that matches a sense of a user based on a displacement corresponding to the velocity value.

An electronic apparatus and a control method are provided that are capable of reducing power consumption. The electronic apparatus having a normal mode in which first electric power is consumed and a power-saving mode in which second electric power lower than the first electric power is consumed includes a first sensor and a second sensor whose power consumption is lower than that of the first sensor. In the power-saving mode, supply of power to the first sensor is restricted, the second sensor is set to the power-saving mode, a trigger for restoring the power-saving mode to the normal mode is detected by using the second sensor set to the power-saving mode, and the power-saving mode is restored to the normal mode based on the detected trigger.
