Orientation sensing device
First Claim
1. A sensing device for generating position data and orientation data when positioned or moved relative to a surface, having coded data disposed therein or thereon, the sensing device including:
- a position sensor configured to generate the orientation data, using at least some of the coded data, and to generate the position data, using at least some of the coded data and using the orientation data, the orientation data being indicative of three dimensions of a rotational orientation of the sensing device relative to the surface, the position data being indicative of at least two dimensions of a position of the sensing device relative to the surface; and
a transmitter configured to communicate at least the position data to a computer system.

Abstract
A sensing device for generating orientation data when positioned or moved relative to a surface, the orientation data being indicative of an orientation of the sensing device relative to the surface, the surface having coded data disposed upon it, the coded data being indicative, when sensed by the sensing device, of the orientation, the sensing device including: a housing; orientation sensing means configured to generate the orientation data using at least some of the coded data; and communications means configured to communicate the orientation data to a computer system.
