ABSTRACT:
In detecting units for detecting the rotating operation of a ball, respective photoemitters serving as light sources are intermittently driven to emit light and respective photodetectors receive the light. A control unit recognizes a moving speed in the X-axial direction and that in the Y-axial direction from detection signals obtained by the detecting units. In the control operation of the control unit, when an increase in operating speed is detected, a light emitting period of each of the photoemitters is reduced. When a decrease in operating speed is detected, the light emitting period of each photoemitter is extended.
