A spatial motion pattern input system for causing a control target device to perform control according to a spatial motion pattern of a spatial control input device, comprises a move sensing section for sensing at least the amount of movements of the spatial control input device on two axes among the amount of movements of the device on three specific nonparallel axes in space, a conversion section for converting the amount of spatial movements composed of at least two amounts sensed at the move sensing section into a motion vector sequence, an identification section for performing identification by comparing a motion vector sequence corresponding to a basic motion pattern previously entered with the motion vector sequence, and an execution section for controlling the control target device on the basis of the recognition result from the identification section.
