  • System, method for controlling user terminal using magnetic field, user terminal comprising the same
    Patent number: 9851815
    Abstract: Provided is a system for controlling a user terminal, comprising a sensing unit to sense a motion of an object in a shape of a rod that can be held between fingers of a user, and a control unit to generate a control command for controlling the user terminal based on a motion pattern of the object sensed by the sensing unit, wherein the motion is a spinning motion of the object.
    Type: Grant

  • Motion-activated control with haptic feedback
    Publication number: 20060061545
    Abstract: A mechanism for sensing the changing positional and orientation of a hand held device as it is moved by the device user to control the state or operation of the hand held device and one or more vibrotactile transducers positioned on the body of the hand held device to provide haptic feedback stimuli to the user indicative of the state of the device. The mechanism employs the combination of accelerometers for obtaining inertial data in three degrees of freedom, gyro sensor for obtaining roll, pitch and yaw angular motion data, a GPS system for providing position data, and magnetometers for providing directional data. This sensor data may be used to control the functioning of the hand held device; for example to control display scrolling, and the vibratory stimuli fed back to the user provides an indication of the effects of the gestural movements the user imparts to the device.
