Abstract
A method for determining a piece of equipment to be controlled by a transportable control object disposed in a space having at least one positioning unit capable of determining the relative position of the control object relative to the positioning unit, the method including: a step of determining the position and the orientation of the control object in the space from the position of the at least one positioning unit, a step of determining a direction and a sense pointed at by the control object from the position and orientation of the control object determined in this way, and a step of determining a piece of equipment to be controlled in the space from the direction and sense determined in this way.
Claims36
A method for determining a piece of equipment to be controlled by a portable control object placed in a space comprising at least one positioning unit capable of determining the relative position of the control object with respect to this positioning unit, the method comprising:
- associating a frame of reference linked to the control object with a frame of reference linked to the at least one positioning unit;
- determining a position and orientation of the control object in the space based on the position of said at least one positioning unit;
- determining a direction and a sense of pointing by the control object based on the position and orientation of the control object that have been determined in this way;
- and
- determining the piece of equipment to be controlled in the space based on the direction and sense that have been determined in this way.
