ABSTRACT:
The invention describes a method for control of a device (1a, 1b, 1c). The method comprises visually presenting a number of user options for the device to be controlled (1a, 1b, 1c), aiming a pointing device (2) comprising a camera (3) at the visual presentation (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e) of the user options to choose a desired option, generating an image (5) of a target area (6) aimed at by the pointing device (2) and comparing the target area image (5) with a pre-defined template of the visual presentation (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e) to determine the chosen option.
