First Claim
Patent Images
1. A hand-held device (100,200) for content navigation by a user (102) comprising:
- a substantially ball shaped housing (101) comprising at least one display area (103) for enabling a display of information (105),at least one sensor (402) for determining an absolute or relative position and/or an absolute or relative orientation of said device (100,200) resulting in output data (407), anda transmitter (406) for transmitting said output data (503) or for transmitting processed data being processed on the basis of said output data (503),where the device is adapted to correlate the change in the absolute or relative position and/or an absolute or relative orientation of said device (100,200) to the content that the user is navigating based on said transmitted data (503).

Abstract
This invention relates to a hand-held device (100,200) and a method for content navigation by a user (102). A ball shaped housing (101) having a display area (103) enables a display of information (105) on the surface of the device. To determine the absolute or relative position and/or an absolute or relative orientation of said device (100,200) one or more sensors (402) are used. Based on the sensor data, the change in the absolute or relative position and/or an absolute or relative orientation of said device (100,200) is determined and correlated to the display of information on said at least one display area (103).
