Abstract
This invention relates to methods of using two sensors to control an object. Keyboards use down and up scan codes to produce data. This invention can use either the down or up scan codes to produce functions or shift modes. Using only the down scan codes can be used to edit data, edit changes, change the control of an object, simplify using graphic arts programs or cursor controlled programs, control the state of an object in multiple states or as a method to increase or decrease the state of control of an object. Activating a reprogrammed first sensor produces a secondary first function or the undo function and activating a reprogrammed second sensor produces a secondary second function or the redo function. In another embodiment, activating a first sensor produces a first function and activating a second sensor produces a second function. Activating a first sensor for a duration of time produces a third function and activating a second sensor for a duration of time produces a fourth function. Simultaneously activating a first and second sensor enters a second mode. Activating a first sensor produces a fifth function and activating a second sensor produces a sixth function. Activating a first sensor for a duration of time produces a seventh function and activating a second sensor for a duration of time produces an eighth function. Activating a third sensor or at least one sensor other than a first or second sensor exits a second mode and re-enters a first mode. Simultaneously activating a first and second sensor re-enters a first mode or enters a third mode. While in a third mode, activating a first sensor produces a ninth function and activating a second sensor produces a tenth function. Activating a first sensor for a duration of time produces an eleventh function and activating a second sensor for a duration of time produces a twelfth function. Additionally, a fourth mode, fifth mode, sixth mode, etc. is entered into by simultaneously activating a first and second sensor.

18. A method of using two sensors to control an object comprising the steps of:
-
a) activating a first sensor, in said first mode, to produce a first function; b) activating a second sensor, in said first mode, to produce a second function; c) continually activating said first sensor for a pre-programmed duration of time, in said first mode, to produce a third function; d) continually activating said second sensor for a pre-programmed duration of time, in said first mode, to produce a fourth function; e) simultaneously activating then deactivating said first sensor and said second sensor exits said first mode and enters a second mode; f) activating said first sensor, in said second mode, to produce a fifth function; g) activating said second sensor, in said second mode, to produce a sixth function; h) continually activating said first sensor for a pre-programmed duration of time, in said second mode, to produce a seventh function; and i) continually activating said second sensor for a pre-programmed duration of time, in said second mode, to produce an eighth function. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
