  • Publication number: 20090174566
    Abstract: An alert device is disclosed. The alert device has at least one light, at least one speaker, and a communication system configured to receive an alert notification containing instructions for each of at least one pattern and duration of activation of the at least one light, at least one pattern and duration of activation of the at least one speaker, and an overall duration of the alert notification. The alert device further has a controller communicatively coupled with the at least one light, the at least one speaker, and the communication system. The controller is configured to monitor the communication system for the alert notification, decode the alert notification, activate the at least one light and the at least one speaker for their respective at least one patterns and durations of activation, and deactivate the at least one light and the at least one speaker after the overall duration elapses.

  • Publication number: 20070061101
    Abstract: An input device is disclosed, one embodiment of which provides position information to an information handling system (IHS). The position information includes both location information and spatial orientation information of the input device in real space. The input device includes a location sensor which determines the absolute location of the input device in x, y and z coordinates. The input device also includes a spatial orientation sensor that determines the spatial orientation of the input device in terms of yaw, pitch and roll. The input device further includes a processor that processes the location information and the spatial orientation information of the input device in real space to determine an image view from the perspective of the input device in virtual space. Movement of the input device in real space by a user causes a corresponding movement of an image view from the perspective of the input device in virtual space.
