| 20100182515 | PROGRAMMABLE REMOTE CONTROLLER AND SETTING METHOD THEREOF - A programmable remote controller, used for controlling audio/video devices, includes a main body, a button module, a motion-sensing module, a microprocessor unit, and a memory. The button module includes a function button group related to the control of the audio/video devices and a programming button group related to the setting of the remote controller. The setting method includes steps of: pressing a first button of the programming button group to start the setting method; pressing at least one function button of a function button group which corresponds to at least one function operation of the audio/video devices; controlling the main body of the remote controller to have a first motion status which is sensed by the motion-sensing module; and storing the first motion status and a first control command corresponding to the at least one function operation in the memory. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100149095 | INSTRUCTION DEVICE AND COMMUNICATING METHOD - An instruction device is provided for communicating an instruction and an icon in an image area, and includes a motion sensing unit and a processing unit. The motion sensing unit senses a first motion to generate a corresponding first signal. The processing unit generates a first trajectory to determine a first region in the image area in response to the corresponding first signal for a decision whether the icon shall be or has been selected according to a relationship between the first region and a second region where the icon is displayed in the image area. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100109904 | SECURE REMOTE CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD - A secure remote control apparatus having a motion is provided. The secure remote control apparatus includes a determining device and a signaling unit. The determining device produces a first signal in response to the motion. The signaling unit transmits a plurality of signals associated with the first signal, wherein each of the plurality of signals has a respective transmitting direction. The secure remote control apparatus ensure that the receiver of the electronic apparatus controlled by the secure remote control apparatus still can receive a signal associated with at least one of the plural infrared signals when the secure remote control apparatus is waved. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100079376 | INERTIAL MOUSE DEVICE AND ACCELERATION-CALIBRATING METHOD THEREOF - An inertial mouse device includes a main body; an accelerometer unit disposed in the main body for performing a motion-sensing function of the main body with at least two degrees of freedom, and generating a calibration output value when the main body is in a still state; and a microprocessor in communication with the accelerometer unit, receiving and processing the calibration output value with an operation so as to obtain an angle of the accelerometer unit relative to horizon. The microprocessor generates a shift signal when the main body is in a motional state, and performs calibration for the shift signal according to the angle. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100033431 | SELECTION DEVICE AND METHOD - A selection device for selecting an icon in an image area is provided including a motion-sensing unit and a processing unit. The motion-sensing unit senses a first motion and converts the first motion into a first signal. The processing unit converts the first signal into a first locus in the image area, determines a first area in the image area according to the first locus, and determines whether the icon is to be selected according to the first area and a second area where the icon is to be displayed in the image area. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20090313660 | HOME ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A home entertainment system includes a first audio/video device and a remote controller. The first audio/video device has a wireless signal receiver. The remote controller includes a main body, a motion-sensing unit, a microprocessor, and wireless transmission unit. The main body is held by a user. The motion-sensing unit is disposed within the main body for generating a sensing signal in response to a motion of the main body by the user. The microprocessor is disposed within the main body and communicates with the motion-sensing unit for processing the sensing signal, thereby generating a control signal. The wireless transmission unit communicates with the microprocessor for receiving the control signal and wirelessly transmitting the control signal to the wireless signal receiver. A first selective item of an electronic menu shown on the first audio/video device is highlighted according to the control signal. | 12-17-2009 |
