Abstract
A remote control, such as a 3D air mouse, includes motion sensors used to measure position/orientation in space to alternatively control a cursor on a display, recognize gestures by the user so that data/commands can be entered into an electronic system being controlled or the like. Timed sequences of pressing a single trigger button and the quantity of motion during said sequences are both timed in relation to thresholds to switch between modes.
Claims2
A user to machine interface comprising:
- a remote control with at least a trigger button;
- a communication link between the remote control and a base station having a display;
- motion sensing capabilities for generating motion signals at least partially representative of the motion of the remote control;
- and
- processing capabilities configured:
- for processing said motion signals in at least one of a first mode and a second mode of operation of said interface, and
- for switching the operation of the interface between said first and second modes, at least one of which enables operation of said interface based on motion of the remote control,
- wherein the switching decisions are based on an evaluation of a combination of i) an analysis of a pattern of at least a sequence of ON/OFF states of said trigger button resulting from the user pressing/releasing said trigger button, and ii) a function Qmotion representative of a quantity of motion imparted to the remote by the user, derived from the motion signals at least one moment during said sequence of ON/OFF states.
