Patent Images
1. A sensor module comprising:
- an IMU having at least one orientation sensor;
a sensor CPU in communication with the at least one orientation sensor; and
a sensor module communicator in communication with the sensor CPU;
wherein the sensor CPU receives input signals from the at least one orientation sensor of the IMU; and
wherein the sensor CPU outputs a pitch, a roll and a yaw of the IMU through the sensor module communicator.

Abstract
A system for control of a device includes at least one sensor module detecting orientation of a user'"'"'s body part. The at least one sensor module is in communication with a device module configured to command an associated device. The at least one sensor module detects orientation of the body part. The at least one sensor module sends output signals related to orientation of the user'"'"'s body part to the device module and the device module controls the associated device based on the signals from the at least one sensor module.
