Input peripheral for computer with automatic switching between 3D and 2D operation modes, and its interaction process with a display screen
First Claim
1. Input peripheral for a computer, comprising a mobile casing designed to be held in the user'"'"'s hand and means of detecting the three dimensional position and rotation of the casing, comprising a two-state contactor located on one surface of the casing designed to be put down on a flat support so as to be automatically switchable between a first state corresponding to a two dimensional operating mode of the peripheral when the casing is placed on the support, and a second state corresponding to a three dimensional operating mode of the peripheral when the casing is lifted off the support and conversely.

Abstract
Input peripheral for a computer with automatic switching between 3D and 2D operating modes, and its interaction process with a display screen.
A casing (10) containing a tracking type electromagnetic sensor (16) is fitted with a contactor (22) on one face (12) designed to be placed on a flat support. The contactor (22) makes the device automatically change from a 3D operating mode to a 2D operating mode when it is placed on a flat support, and vice versa when it is lifted off this support.
