1. A method, in a television having a screen, for generating screen pointing information, the method comprising:
receiving, by a first sensor, a first energy signal generated by a device external to the television pointing to a location on the screen; receiving, from the first sensor, a first sensor information, the sensor information comprises a first pattern corresponding to an intensity of the first energy signal received at the first sensor; receiving, by a second sensor, a second energy signal generated by the device; receiving, from the second sensor, a second sensor information, the second sensor information comprises a second pattern corresponding to an intensity of the second energy signal received at the second sensor; processing, by a processor, the first sensor information and the second sensor information to determine said location on the screen to which the device is pointing, based on an intersection of the first pattern and the second pattern; and generating information indicative of said determined location on the screen.
