Patent number: 9721194Abstract: There is provided an input device which accepts input with a simple operation. A printing device 100 is an input device which accepts the input of input data, including a motion detection section 100a, a determination section, and an acquisition section 100d. The motion detection section 100a detects the motion of the input device. The determination section determines whether an input condition is met. When the determination section determines that the input condition is met, the acquisition section 100d acquires a trajectory of the input device based on the motion of the input device detected by the motion detection section 100a to acquire, as input data, the layout of a pattern corresponding to the trajectory.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2016Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventor: Kenichi Naruse
