Motion control used as controlling device

A method claim for motion-based control of a controlled device, the method comprising:

• generating in a motion sensitive device a set of sensor signals responsive to motion of the motion sensitive device, the sensor signals from a plurality of sensors enclosed in the motion sensitive device and being sufficient to estimate positions and orientations of the motion sensitive device in six degrees of freedom;
• and
• converting a first set of signals from the motion sensitive device to a part of a second set of signals to control at least one application on the controlled device, the second set of signals including some signals substantially similar to touch-screen input signals from a touch-screen device, wherein the first set of signals includes the sensor signals, and the controlled device is designed to be responsive to the touch-screen input signals from the touch-screen device.

A software product stored in a memory space for motion-based control of a controlled device, the software product comprising:

• program code for generating in a motion sensitive device a set of sensor signals responsive to motion of the motion sensitive device, the sensor signals from a plurality of sensors enclosed in the motion sensitive device and being sufficient to estimate positions and orientations of the motion sensitive device in six degrees of freedom;
• and
• program code for converting a first set of signals from the motion sensitive device to a part of a second set of signals to control at least one application on the controlled device, the second set of signals including some signals substantially similar to touch-screen input signals from a touch-screen device, wherein the first set of signals includes the sensor signals, and the controlled device is designed to be responsive to the touch-screen input signals from the touch-screen device.

The software product as recited in claim 96, wherein the controlled device is coupled to a touch-screen device, and the at least one application is being executed in the touch-screen device, and wherein the first and second sets of signals are remotely received in the touch-screen device, behaviors of the controlled device is controlled by the motion sensitive device via the touch-screen device.
