Abstract:
1. A method for manipulating an electrical device comprising: sensing motion via a motion sensor; producing an output signal corresponding to the sensed motion; converting the output signal via a processing unit in communication with the motion sensor into a command function based on the sensed motion and changes in a direction of the sensed motion, where the command function is a scroll function or a simultaneous select and activate function, and controlling one object or a plurality of objects in electronic communication with the processing unit, where the processing unit includes an object list having an object identifier for each object and an object specific attribute list for each object having one adjustable attribute or a plurality of adjustable attributes, where each object specific attribute has an attribute identifier, where the simultaneous select and activate function comprises a select and scroll function or a select and attribute control function, where motion in a first direction causes the processing unit to issue a scroll function for scrolling through the object list and where a change in a direction of the motion corresponding to a second direction of motion, sufficiently different from the first direction of motion to allow motion discrimination by either the processing unit or motion sensor, which causes the processing unit to simultaneously select an object from the object list and activate the selected object, where the object is either an attribute list or an attribute and where the processing unit issues a corresponding scroll function or an attribute control function, and sensing a change in a direction of the motion corresponding to a second direction of motion, sufficiently different from the first direction of motion to allow motion discrimination by either the processing unit or motion sensor, causes the processing unit to simultaneously select an object from the object list and activate the selected object, where the object is either an attribute list or an attribute and where the processing unit issue a corresponding scroll function or an attribute control function.
