Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling a unit provided with a processor. The method comprises receiving at least one graphical notation in the form of positions representing a sensor device'"'"'s movement across a base that is provided with a position-coding pattern, while the graphical notation was made, identifying, based on the at least one graphical notation, at least one command for the unit provided with a processor, receiving an address to the unit provided with a processor, and controlling the unit provided with a processor by sending the at least one command to the address. The invention further comprises a computer program product and a device for implementing the method, a method for controlling a unit provided with a processor using a sensor device and a product kit for controlling a unit provided with a processor.

Claims

1. A method for controlling a unit provided with a processor, characterized by:

receiving at least one graphical notation in the form of positions representing a sensor device'"'"'s movement across a base that is provided with a position-coding pattern, while the graphical notation was made,

identifying, based on said at least one graphical notation, at least one command for said unit provided with a processor,

receiving an address to the unit provided with a processor, and

controlling the unit provided with a processor by sending said at least one command to the address.
