REMOTE CONTROL WITH RELATIVE DIRECTIONAL SENSE TO A CONTROLLED OBJECT
First Claim
1. A remote control device orientation system comprising:
- a remote control;
a controlled object in electrical communication with said remote control; and
wherein said remote control and said controlled object include both an electronic inertial guidance system and at least one device configured to determine the relative orientation and frame of reference of said remote control with respect to said controlled object.

Abstract
A remote device orientation system is provided that includes a remote control in electrical communication with a controlled object. Both the remote control and the controlled object include electronic inertial guidance systems. A device is configured to determine the relative orientation and frame of reference of the remote control with respect to the controlled object. A method operation to the remote device orientation system includes the establishment of an initial common vector between the remote control and the controlled object to determine an initial frame or reference. A delta angle is then calculated between the initial common vector and a current vector as the controller changes orientation. The controller calculated delta angle is then communicated to the controlled object and used to establish a new frame of reference for the controlled object.
