Abstract
A system and method for controlling a digital TV, the system including the DTV; and a 3D pointing device. The DTV includes a receiver to receive control signals from the 3D pointing device; and a control unit to select one of a plurality of functions provided by the DTV in response to a selection signal received from the 3D pointing device, each function having a corresponding execution profile, and execute the selected function in accordance with the corresponding execution profile and a motion parameter sensed by the 3D pointing device including a direction of movement and one of a distance and velocity corresponding to the direction of movement. The 3D pointing device includes a transmitter to transmit the control signals and motion parameter; and a sensor to sense within the 3D pointing device the motion of the 3D pointing device and generate the corresponding motion parameter.
