Method and system for media control
First Claim
1. An optical-based media control system comprising an optical-based controller comprising a touch screen and an image sensor on a surface opposite to the touch screen, a media center comprising a display and a network in communication with the media center and a server the optical-based controller comprising:
- a first communication linked operated by the optical-based controller and configured for communication between the optical-based controller and the display;
a second communication link operated by the optical-based controller and configured for communication between the optical-based controller and the server;
an application configured to execute on the optical-based controller and to capture images, using the first communication link, of the display in relation to movement of the optical-based controller, to calculate movement coordinates from the images, and to send the movement coordinates, using the second communication link, to the server.
