MOTION PLANE CORRECTION FOR MEMS-BASED INPUT DEVICES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for tracking movement of a motion-based electronic input device, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more measured acceleration values indicative of the acceleration of an input device moving in plane of motion that is tilted with respect to a horizontal plane;
determining one or more corrected motion values by accounting for the effects of gravity on the measured acceleration values due to the tilted plane of motion; and
calculating a change in position of the input device based on at least one of the one or more corrected motion values.

15. A computer-readable medium for compensating for a tilted plane of motion for a motion-based input device, the program code for:
-
calculating an angle of tilt of the tilted plane of motion; estimating an error in a measured acceleration of the electronic input device in the tilted plane of motion due to the angle of tilt; and determining a corrected acceleration value based at least in part on the estimated error. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
