Abstract

See full text

Gesture-enabled remote control is implemented using a portable device having motion sensors and a wireless transmitter. An activation signal is received when the motion sensors detect a first prescribed motion of the portable device. A neutral orientation is then assigned to the portable device. The neutral orientation is defined by a position of the portable device at the time the activation signal is received. A control signal is generated when the motion sensors detect one of a plurality of prescribed movements of the portable device occurring within a prescribed window of time. Each prescribed movement includes movement of the portable device away from the neutral orientation and then back to the neutral orientation. The control signal is formatted for wireless transmission to an electronic device for control thereof.
