Abstract

A method and system for using handheld device (100) as a wireless controller is provided. The method includes, receiving at least of roll data (208), pitch data (210), yaw data (212) and acceleration data (214) corresponding to the handheld device (100); determining one or more actions to be performed based on one or more values of the at least of roll data (208), pitch data (210), yaw data (212) and acceleration data (214); and enabling performance of actions that are displayed on at least one display that is discrete from the handheld device (100).

Claims

1. A method for using handheld device as a wireless controller, the method comprising:

receiving at least one of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data corresponding to the handheld device;

determining one or more actions to be performed based on one or more values of the at least one of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data; and

enabling performance of actions that are displayed on at least one display that is discrete from the handheld device.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the one or more actions is based on change in values corresponding to the one or more of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the one or more actions is based on range of values corresponding to the one or more of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising normalizing yaw data prior to determining the one or more actions.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the step of normalizing comprises determining yaw value corresponding to the handheld device when the handheld device is indicated to be held at an instructed position.

6. A method according to claim 1, wherein the method is used for controlling video game.

7. A system for using handheld device as a wireless controller, the system comprising a control module, wherein the control module is configured to:

receive at least one of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data corresponding to the handheld device;

determine one or more actions to be performed based on one or more values of the at least one of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data; and

enable performance of actions that are displayed on at least one display that is discrete from the handheld device.

8. The system according to claim 7, wherein the one or more actions is based on change in values corresponding to the one or more of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data.

9. The system according to claim 7, wherein the one or more actions is based on range of values corresponding to the one or more of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data.

10. The system according to claim 7, wherein the control module is further configured to normalize yaw data prior to determining the one or more actions.

11. The system according to claim 10, wherein the control module is further configured to normalize yaw data by determining yaw value corresponding to the handheld device when the handheld device is indicated to be held at an instructed position.

12. A system according to claim 7, wherein the system is used for controlling video game.

13. A computer program product comprising a computer readable medium having instructions encoded thereon, when executed by a handheld device, causes the handheld device to perform the operations comprising:

receiving at least one of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data corresponding to the handheld device;

determining one or more actions to be performed based on one or more values of the at least one of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data; and

enabling performance of actions that are displayed on at least one display that is discrete from the handheld device.

14. A method for using handheld device as a wireless controller, the method comprising:

receiving at least one of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data corresponding to the handheld device; and

determining one or more actions performed by a user using the handheld device, based on one or more values of the at least one of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data.

15. The method according to claim 14, further comprising comparing the one or more actions performed by the user with benchmark.

16. A system for using handheld device as a wireless controller, the system comprising a control module, wherein the control module is configured to:

receive at least one of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data corresponding to the handheld device; and

determine one or more actions performed by a user using the handheld device, based on one or more values of the at least one of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data.

17. The system according to claim 16, wherein the control module is further configured to compare the one or more actions performed by the user with benchmark.

18. A computer program product comprising a computer readable medium having instructions encoded thereon, when executed by a handheld device, causes the handheld device to perform the operations comprising:

receiving at least one of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data corresponding to the handheld device; and

determining one or more actions performed by a user using the handheld device, based on one or more values of the at least one of roll data, pitch data, yaw data and acceleration data.

19. The computer program product according to claim 18, wherein the handheld device compares the one or more actions performed by the user with benchmark.
