Abstract

A hand-held wireless computer curser controlling device including a housing, a controller, a vibration sensor and transmitter is disclosed. The controller is installed in the housing for receiving an input and outputting a respective signal. The vibration sensor is installed in the housing and electrically connected to the controller for detecting a two-dimension movement of a user'"'"'s hand to generate a locating signal to be inputted to the controller. The transmitter is electrically connected to the controller, for demodulating the outputting signal from the controller and transmitting a demodulated signal to a computer to control the movement of a computer curser.

Claims

1. A hand-held wireless computer curser controlling device, comprising:

a housing;

a controller installed in the housing, for receiving an input and outputting a respective signal;

a vibration sensor installed in the housing and electrically connected to the controller, for detecting a two-dimension movement of a user'"'"'s hand to generate a locating signal to be inputted to the controller; and

a transmitter installed in the housing and electrically connected to the controller, for demodulating the outputting signal from the controller and transmitting a demodulated signal to a computer to control the movement of a computer curser.

2. The hand-held wireless computer curser controlling device of claim 1, wherein the vibration sensor is a two-dimension accelerometer.

3. The hand-held wireless computer curser controlling device of claim 1, further comprising an enabling button connected to the controller, wherein the locating signal is generated during the enabling button is pressed.

4. The hand-held wireless computer curser controlling device of claim 1, wherein the demodulated signal is an infrared (IR) signal.

5. The hand-held wireless computer curser controlling device of claim 1, wherein the demodulated signal is a radio frequency (RF) signal.
