`

`cos θ
`
`"Referring still to FIG. 3, it can be seen that sine
`and cosine voltages 14, 12 are available as outputs
`from the flux gate compass 10. A suitable flux gate
`compass is the Micronta Automotive Electronic
`Compass sold by Radio Shack, Catalog No. 63-
`641. A detailed discussion of the operational
`details of the flux gate compass will be omitted
`because such devices are well known and their
`internal operation does not constitute a material
`portion of this invention except as herein
`explained." Smith (Ex. 1002), 4:17-26.
`
`"Suffice it to say that the magnitude of the voltages
`present on the sine and cosine outputs 14, 12
`correspond to the sine and cosine of the earth‘s
`magnetic field, and that the data necessary to
`interpret the orientation of the flux gate compass
`and the remote control transmitter 100 is obtained
`by determining the ratio of the sine and cosine
`voltages. For this purpose, the sine and cosine
`voltages 14, 12 are provided to the microcontroller

`a first communication
`module, which connects to
`the motion detecting
`module and receives the
`motion detecting signal, and

`
`Microcontroller (24) and output (via line 34)
`
`"The microcontroller determines the orientation of
`the flux compass by first dividing the absolute
`value of the sine voltage 14 by the absolute value
`of the cosine volt age 12 to obtain a tangent
`voltage, and by then using the tangent voltage as an
`index into an arctangent look-up table of 256
`entries ranging from O to 90 degrees." Smith (Ex.
`1002), 4:47-52.
`
`"The absolute direction (“absolute” meaning
`relative to magnetic North) corresponding to the
`selected direction is obtained by summing the
`orientation of the remote control transmitter 100
`relative to magnetic north with the orientation of
`the shaft 26j relative to the remote control
`transmitter 100... A direction control signal
`containing information about the absolute direction
`relative to magnetic North can then be provided to
`an ordinary radio transmitter 36 via line 34 and
`then transmitted over antenna 38 to the car 200."

`information indicative of the physical orientation
`of computer input device 14 and provide that
`information to microcontroller 106 through A/D

` The application program on
`computer 20 which is controlling the visual display
`uses the orientation information from X and Y tilt
`sensors 108 to control the display.
`
`However, computer input device 14 can also
`illustratively be used in a different mode. In that
`mode (which is entered by depression of mode
`switch 30 and can be referred to as the discrete or
`game pad mode) the X and Y tilt sensors 108 are
`not used by the application in controlling the
`physical orientation of the object on the visual
`display screen. Instead, the application uses the
`information from multiple switch device 26. In
`other words, when multiple switch device 26 is a
`direction pad input device (a D-pad) the D-pad is
`configured substantially as a x multiple-axis rocker
`switch."
