`
`Bathiche discloses “mode switch 30”:
`
`"Prior to discussing packet formation, it should be noted that
`computer input device 14, as briefly mentioned above, may be
`operated in at least two different modes of operation. In the first
`mode of operation (referred to as the sensor mode) the X and Y

`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
`multiple-axis rocker switch."

`Spirov in view of Shkolnikov
`
`Shkolnikov discloses three modes of operation:
`
`[0024] The keys may be configured to be operated by fingers
`without obstructing the display. The active keyboard system
`may be configured with a single selector or plural selectors. A
`selector may be a wheel, a track ball, a joystick, a rocker pad, a
`touch pad, a selector switch, a toggle switch, a key button, an N-
`state button, or an N-state selector configured to be operated by a
`thumb or other finger.
`
`Alternatively or in addition to a thumb/finger operated
`selector(s), the active keyboard system may have selector(s)
`configured to interpret motion of the system as an input. Such a
`selector may be a set of one, two, or three movement sensors
`configured to sense motion in different substantially orthogonal
