Abstract
The method of entering data into a computer device. A wearable device is attached to a first body part. The device has a lower unit and an upper unit connected to the lower unit. The device has sensors in operative engagement therewith for registering movements. The wearable device has a first accelerometer and a second accelerometer. The lower unit is provided with non-movable parts. A segment of a second body part is moved relative to the device without having physical contact with the sensors. The movement of the segment activates the sensors. The sensors sending sensor signals to a microprocessor unit. The first accelerometer senses an acceleration movement in a first direction. The second accelerometer senses an acceleration movement in a second direction. The first and second accelerometers send acceleration movement signals to a microprocessor unit that stores acceleration movement signals from the accelerometers together with the sensor signals to learn movements of the body part.
