METHOD FOR POINTING OUT INFORMATION AND A POINTING DEVICE

摘要

A pointing device that comprises a movable pointing element and a detector. The pointing element affects a magnetic field the changes of which are detected by the detector and adapted so as to point out information. The detector that produces a detection signal on the basis of which the movement of the pointing element is sensed and utilized to point out information on a display. The movable pointing element and the detector comprises means for generating a magnetic field and for detecting a magnetic field. The pointing element includes a plurality of magnetic elements placed on a perimeter of the pointing element.
