APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR USER INPUT

摘要

A user input apparatus and method may measure, using a first sensor, surface input information that is applied to a surface of a user input apparatus, may measure, using a second sensor, orientation information that is input based on a physical quantity associated with a pose or a rotary motion of the user input apparatus, and may generate a content control signal, by combining the surface input information and the orientation information.

主权项

1. A user input apparatus, comprising:
a first sensor configured to measure force information applied to an input surface of the user input apparatus; a second sensor configured to measure orientation information that includes a physical quantity of a pose, or a physical quantity of a rotary motion, of the user input apparatus; and a signal processing unit configured to generate a content control signal, by combining the force information and the orientation information, wherein the signal processing unit is configured to:
calculate a magnitude of a force, based on the measured force information,calculate a tilt angle of the user input apparatus, based on the measured orientation information, andgenerate a 3D input information, by using a transform of the force information based on the tilt angle, when the magnitude of the force is greater than or equal to a predetermined value.
