Title:
METHOD FOR CONTROL OF A DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006013479
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention describes a method for control of a device (D1, D2, D3, D4), which method comprise aiming a pointing device (2) comprising a camera (3) at an object (B1, B1', B2, B3, B4) representing a property of the device (D1, D2, D3, D4) to be controlled and manipulating a control input (4) on the pointing device (2) to specify a degree of change (5) for the property. An image (6) of a target area (A) aimed at by the pointing device (2) is generated by the camera (3). The target area image (6) is interpreted to identitify the chosen object (B1, B1', B2, B3, B4), and to deduce the property of the device (D1. D2, D3, D4) to be controlled based on the chosen object (B1, B1', B2,B3, B4). A control signal (7) is then generated for the device (D1, D2, D3, D4) to be controlled accord üng to the degree of change (5) for the deduced property. The invention also describes a pointing device (2), a device control interface (8, 8') and a system comprising such a pointing device (2) and device control interface (8, 8') suitable for applying this method.
