Abstract
Multiple methods of using only two sensors to control the state of an object in a one dimensional environment, a two dimensional environment or a three dimensional environment. A method of using only two sensors to control the state of an object in a secondary mode and edit data in a third mode. A method of using only two sensors to edit changes. A method of using only two sensors to control the state of an object in graphic arts programs. A method of using only two sensors to control the state of an object in two states, three states, four states, eight states, ten states or fourteen states. A method of using only two sensors to increase or decrease control of an object.
Claims20
A method of using a pair of sensors to control the state of an object comprising:
- a) simultaneously activating a first sensor and a second sensor of said pair of sensors followed by simultaneously deactivating said first sensor and said second sensor to exit a first mode and enter a second mode;
- b) independently activating said first sensor to control the state of said object in a first state;
- and
- c) deactivating said first sensor to stop said control in said first state;
- d) independently activating said second sensor to control the state of said object in a second state;
- and
- e) deactivating said second sensor to stop said control in said second state;
- 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;
- g) wherein the respective modes are entered and exited based on the activation or deactivation of only the two respective first and second sensors and no other sensors.
A method of using a pair of sensors to control the state of an object comprising:
- a) independently activating a first sensor of said pair of sensors to control the state of said object in a first state;
- and
- b) deactivating said first sensor to stop said control in said first state;
- c) independently activating a second sensor of said pair of sensors to control the state of said object in a second state;
- and
- d) deactivating said second sensor to stop said control in said second state;
- e) simultaneously activating said first sensor and said second sensor to control the state of said object in a third state;
- and
- f) simultaneously deactivating said first sensor and said second sensor to stop said control in said third state;
- g) wherein the respective states are controlled based on the activation or deactivation of only the two respective sensors for each state and no other sensors.
A method of using a pair of sensors to control an object comprising:
- a) simultaneously activating a first sensor and a second sensor of said pair of sensors to exit a first mode and enter a second mode;
- b) activating said first sensor to control said object in a first state;
- and
- c) activating said second sensor to control said object in a second state;
- d) simultaneously activating said first sensor and said second sensor to exit said second mode and enter a third mode;
- e) wherein the respective modes are entered and exited based on the activation or deactivation of only the two respective first and second sensors and no other sensors.
A method of using a pair of sensors to control an object comprising:
- a) activating a first sensor to control said object in a first state;
- and
- b) activating a second sensor to control said object in a second state;
- c) simultaneously activating said first sensor and said second sensor of said pair of sensors to exit a first mode and enter a second mode;
- d) activating said first sensor to control said object in a third state;
- and
- e) activating said second sensor to control said object in a fourth state;
- f) simultaneously activating said first sensor and said second sensor to exit said second mode and enter a third mode;
- g) wherein the respective modes are entered and exited based on the activation or deactivation of only the two respective first and second sensors and no other sensors.
