First Claim
Patent Images
1. A user to machine interface comprising:
- at least a remote control with motion sensing capabilities,a communication link between the remote control and the machine, andprocessing capabilities for processing the motion signals from said motion sensing capabilities,said processing capabilities being further configured for initiating a touch emulation mode based on a triggering event, recognizing at least a gesture of a user with a remote control, and passing an output of said recognition to an operating system of the machine.

Abstract
A user to machine interface emulates a touch interface on a screen. The interface is configured for operating in a touch emulation mode based on a triggering event. A triggering event may be a rotation around a first axis of an angle higher than a first threshold. Analysis of the amount of rotation around a second axis may be used to determine the number of fingers defining a specific touch gesture. An infinite variety of touch gestures may therefore be emulated by a remote control based on application context thus allowing for multiple uses of the touch screen machine from a distance.

15. A method of operating a user to machine interface comprising:
-
moving in space by at least a user a remote control with motion sensing capabilities, using a communication link between the remote control and the machine, and processing signals from the motion sensing capabilities, said method further comprising initiating a touch emulation mode based on a triggering event, recognizing a gesture imparted by a user to a remote control, and passing an output of said recognition to an operating system of the machine. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
