METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A CURSOR BY ATTITUDE MEASUREMENTS OF A POINTER AND POINTER USING THE SAME

摘要

The invention discloses a method of controlling a cursor (120) in a surface (100) by attitude measurements of a pointer (110), said measurements being provided by inertial, optical, magnetic, ultrasonic means, radio frequency or video and appropriate processing means, said method being characterized in that it further comprises a step of calculating the displacements of the intersection of a vector linked to the pointer with a projection surface (130), said surface of projection being predetermined, from measurements of the attitude and / or the angular velocity of said pointer. The dotted surfaces may include planes, cylinders or spheres. The score can be done in limited or sliding. Cursor control, in absolute mode or in relative mode may allow triggering of functions controlled by the orientation of said cursor on the dotted surface.
