Abstract
Multiple methods of using two sensors to move an object in a one dimensional environment, a two dimensional environment or a three dimensional environment. A method of using two sensors to move a cursor in a secondary mode and edit data in a third mode. A method of using two sensors to edit changes. A method of using two sensors to move a cursor in two axis graphic arts programs. A method of using two sensors to move an object in two directions, three directions, four directions, eight directions, ten directions or fourteen directions. A method of using two sensors to increase or decrease the speed of movement of an object.
Claims20
A method of using two sensors to move an object comprising the steps of:
- a) simultaneously activating a first sensor and a second sensor of said two sensors followed by simultaneously deactivating said first sensor and said second sensor to exit a first mode and enter a second mode;
- and
- b) independently activating said first sensor to move said object in a first direction;
- and
- c) deactivating said first sensor to stop said movement in said first direction;
- and
- d) independently activating said second sensor to move said object in a second direction;
- and
- e) deactivating said second sensor to stop said movement in said second direction;
- and
- f) simultaneously activating said first sensor and said second sensor followed by simultaneously deactivating said first sensor and said second sensor to exit said second mode and enter a third mode.
A method of using two sensors to move an object comprising the steps of:
- a) independently activating a first sensor of said two sensors to reverse the last change;
- and
- b) independently activating a second sensor of said two sensors to reverse the last undo.
A method of using two sensors to move an object comprising the steps of:
- a) independently activating a first sensor of said two sensors to move said object in a first direction;
- and
- b) deactivating said first sensor to stop said movement in said first direction;
- and
- c) independently activating a second sensor of said two sensors to move said object in a second direction;
- and
- d) deactivating said second sensor to stop said movement in said second direction;
- and
- e) simultaneously activating said first sensor and said second sensor to move said object in a third direction;
- and
- f) simultaneously deactivating said first sensor and said second sensor to stop said movement in said third direction.
