Integrated motion sensor for a data processing device
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A data processing device comprising:
- a base;
a display coupled to said base;
a first motion sensor fixedly coupled to said base;
a second motion sensor fixedly coupled to said base, wherein said first and second motion sensors detect movement of said data processing device across a surface in direct contact with said base, said first and second motion sensors to generate a first and second set of motion signals indicating a direction of said movement of said data processing device; and
a display controller to generate graphical images on said display and to move one or more graphical images in a particular direction on said display based on said first and second set of motion signals, wherein said display is coupled to said base;
wherein said display controller generates a rotational motion of one or more graphical images, based on relative motion of said first and second motion signals.

10. A method comprising:
-
generating a first set of motion signals from a first motion sensor attached to a base of a data processing device; generating a second set of motion signals from a second motion sensor attached to said base of said data processing device, wherein said first and second set of motion signals are based on movement of said data processing device across a physical surface; generating graphical images on a display of said data processing device, wherein said display is coupled to said base; and generating a rotational motion of one or more of said graphical images in a particular direction on said display based on said first and second motion signals. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
