Handheld and wearable remote-controllers

A remote-controller that is wearable on a hand or finger(s) of a user, comprising:

• an opening that is sized to wear on the hand or finger(s) of said user;
• motion-sensors configured to enable a detection of movement of the remote-controller in one or more X, Y, or Z dimensions;
• a single control-actuator configured to be actuated by a thumb of the hand of said user that is wearing said remote-controller;
• electronic circuitry to detect that said user has actuated said control-actuator;
• a wireless interface;
• wherein, when a first action by said user on said control-actuator is detected:
• a control signal is sent across said wireless interface to turn-on an active-display, and cause selectable-objects and a cursor or point-of-action, to appear on said active-display;
• wherein data derived from said motion-sensors is sent across said wireless interface to cause the cursor or point-of-action, to move on said active-display in relation to the movement of the remote-controller by said user;
• wherein when a second action by said user on said control-actuator is detected:
• a selectable-object that the cursor or point-of-action is on or near is selected, and communication of at least one control-command to at least one electronic-device is initiated.

A remote-controller that is handheld by a user, comprising:

• motion-sensors configured to enable a detection of movement of the remote-controller in one or more X, Y or Z dimensions;
• a single control-actuator configured, to be actuated by a thumb of a hand of said user that is holding said remote-controller;
• electronic circuitry to detect that said user has actuated said control-actuator and
• a wireless interface;
• wherein, when a first action by said user on said control-actuator is detected:
• a control signal is sent across said wireless interface to turn-on an active-display, and cause selectable-objects and a cursor or point-of-action, to appear on said active-display;
• wherein data derived from said motion-sensors is sent across said wireless interface to cause the cursor or point-of-action, to move on said active-display in relation to the movement of the remote-controller by said user;
• wherein when a second action by said user on said control-actuator is detected:
• a selectable-object that the cursor or point-of-action is on or near is selected, and communication of at least one control-command to at least one electronic-device is initiated.
