ABSTRACT:
A hand held electronic remote control device having orientation sensors, signal processing electronics, power supply and an infrared transmitter contained therein. The sensors include two angular position detectors. A first angular position detector is aligned in a first plane and provides a first detector output. The first and second detector outputs provide responsive inputs to a dividing analog-to-digital converter which transforms the input to a digitally compatible output that is used as an input to a transmitter controller which compares the input to a reference signal and provides a modulation output for driving an infrared light source. The resulting infrared light beam is then carries the modulation signal to a remote receiver via the apparatus to be controlled. The present invention is used to replace the conventional mouse. The receiver would convert a form commensurate with the usual mouse output for compatibility with the usual serial mouse port. The preferred embodiment also includes a plurality of input controls such as "right and left mouse" buttons, a cursor activation button and other control keys.
