  • Patent number: 8531397
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of calibrating a position offset of a cursor on a screen such that, when a pointing device has already been moved to a position beyond the screen boundary, virtual coordinates of the pointing device are calculated and recorded to track the physical positions of the pointing device efficiently, and then the position offset between the pointing device and the cursor on the screen is compensated and corrected, so as for the user to greatly reduce the hassle of manually operating the pointing device for controlling cursor movement and thereby operate the cursor on the screen at will.

  • Patent number: 8259072
    Abstract: An input control apparatus and an interactive system using the same are disclosed. The input control apparatus comprises: a switch unit, for selecting an input mode for the input control apparatus selected from the group consisting of a mouse mode, a joystick mode, a keyboard mode and the combination thereof; an interface unit, for generating an input signal according to the input mode selected by the switch unit; a remote control unit, for generating and thus transmitting a control signal according to the input mode and the input signal. By transmitting the control signals of two aforesaid input control apparatuses to an electronic device, such as a computer, an interactive gaming device or an interactive multimedia device, two such input control apparatuses can be integrated as a handheld apparatus with a left-hand unit and a right-hand unit for meeting the control requirements of a comparatively more complicated game executing on the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 8184100
    Abstract: An inertial sensing input controller, receiver and interactive system using thereof are provided in the present invention. The inertial sensing input controller functioning to capture motions of a human body comprises an inertial sensing module for sensing a sequence of motions of the human body and generating the corresponding parameters and then transmitting to a receiver connected to an electrical device. In addition, the inertial sensing input controller further integrates a plurality of communication protocols and the electrical device interacting with the inertial sensing input controller can be switched to different control modes according to the parameters received by the receiver. On the other hand, the parameters generated by the inertial sensing input controller can be transmitted to the electrical device directly so that the electrical device can process the parameters and judge the action or scenario with respect to the human movement accordingly for increasing diversity of interactions.

  • Patent number: 8177640
    Abstract: Disclosed is a novel game system, comprising a computer device; a game platform to communicate with the computer; and at least one game control module to detect environment data and to transfer the environment data to the game platform. In the present invention, the game platform stores at least one game software to be executed in the computer and the game platform provides the environment data to the computer whereby the computer executes the game software in association with the environment data. The environment data represent the position, orientation, acceleration of the game control module, and their variations.

  • Publication number: 20100309121
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus with deviation correction of cursor position is disclosed. The electronic apparatus with deviation correction of cursor position is configured between a wireless pointing device and a host for controlling the screen cursor by means of receiving a movement data from an inertial sensor and a display data from a display controlled by the host so as to calculate a distance deviation value of the cursor position with respect to the screen coordination, thereby effectively controlling the cursor movement.
