Image data generation using a handheld electronic device

摘要

The present disclosure provides improved generation of images using a handheld electronic device. Motion of the handheld electronic device is detected using a sensor of the handheld electronic device and data, dependent upon the sensed motion, is transmitted from the device to a remote electronic device. An image, representative of the sensed motion of the handheld electronic device and generated from the transmitted data, is rendered on a display of the remote electronic device and provides a user with visual feedback of the motion of the handheld electronic device. The image data may be generated by the handheld electronic device or by the remote electronic device.

主权项

1. A method for generating an image on an electronic device, comprising:
sensing motion of a handheld electronic device using a sensor of the handheld electronic device while a motion sensing application of the handheld electronic device is enabled; transmitting data of the sensed motion to an electronic device that is remote from the handheld electronic device; and rendering an image representative of the sensed motion of the handheld electronic device on a display of the remote electronic device, the image generated from the transmitted data,where the sensor is located at a corner of the handheld electronic device, enabling the handheld electronic device to be used in a pen-like manner,and where sensing motion of the handheld electronic device comprises sensing motion of the corner of the handheld electronic device with respect to a surface in contact with the corner of the handheld electronic device.
