METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING A POINTER DISPLAY BASED ON THE HANDLING OF A POINTER DEVICE

摘要

A pointing device (500) includes a navigation unit (510) that generates position signals (Fig. 2) that indicate where a pointer is directed. The pointing device includes a selection unit (520) that generates selection signals that indicate that a selection is made. The pointing device includes a sensor unit (530) that generates an active signal that indicates that the pointing device is being handled. A transmission unit transmits the position signals, selection signals, and active signals to a remote location.
