     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

         [0009]    Owing to higher price of inertial sensor products, the inertial sensor products are few in the early market. However, the price of inertial sensor products will decrease to an acceptable level for consumers as the evolution and integration of MEMS and CMOS process can be performed. Therefore it is a trend in future to utilize inertial sensor, such as accelerometer and gyroscope etc, in consumer products to detect a movement of a user. Under the trend, inertial sensors are widely accepted in cursor devices for the personal computer, pointing devices for presentation, and remote device for home appliances so as to provide users with friendly control interface. 
         [0010]    However, the design style of the inertial sensor products in market nowadays is extended merely from a cursor control by a remote pointing device. Therefore, a problem dealt with controlling cursor movement is arisen in a case where such a situation that how the remote pointing devices can be friendly used by the users. When the pointing device has already been moved to a position beyond the screen boundary, the cursor on the screen will stay at the boundary of the boundary so as to result in a shifting (or offset) displacement or an angle offset of the point devices in reference to the cursor position. If the cursor is moved towards the opposite direction of the screen boundary, the cursor will instantly start to move. As time passes, a position offset between the pointing device and the cursor position will be increased with errors and thus the errors are accumulated, thereby bringing inconvenience to a user who has to press the calibration or reset key so frequently for controlling the cursor movement in a user-unfriendly way.

         [0025]    In the first preferred embodiment, the displacement data is further defined by both an x-axis displacement value Xd and a y-axis displacement value Yd to represent a movement value of the wireless pointing device  11  with reference to the current cursor position on the monitor  136 .

Besides, the offset calibration unit  12  can be configured as a dongle card between the wireless pointing device  11  and the host  13 . 
         [0026]    In the first preferred embodiment, the method of calibrating the position offset of the cursor comprises the steps of: 
         [0027]    Step 1: providing boundary positions in a coordinate system and resetting a pair of boundary offset values where the boundary positions in the coordinate system are defined by resolution (including horizontal pixels and vertical pixels) of the screen. The boundary positions are, namely an x-axis boundary position Xb and a y-axis boundary position Yb of the screen. Xb defines a boundary range of the x-axis of the screen, including a leftmost x-axis boundary value Xbl (minimum value) and a rightmost x-axis boundary value Xbr (maximum value). Yb defines a boundary range of the y-axis of the screen, including an uppermost y-axis boundary value Ybu (maximum value) and a lowermost y-axis boundary value Ybl (minimum value). The pair of boundary offset values are, namely an x-axis boundary offset value x and a y-axis boundary offset value y. x refers to the excess value of displacement of the cursor from the x-axis boundary position of the screen. y refers to the excess value of displacement of the cursor from the y-axis boundary position of the screen. The step can further involve performing a position initialization of the cursor so as to reposition the cursor on the screen. In the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cursor can be initialized at the center of the screen. 
         [0028]    Step 2: confirming whether or not the resolution of the screen has altered by the user so as to update the x-axis boundary position Xb and the y-axis boundary position Yb in the coordinate system of the screen. The step can further involve calculation of the boundary values. When the resolution of the screen is altered by the user, the boundary values for the current boundary positions x-axis Xb and y-axis Yb in the coordinate system are being redefined to a new x-axis boundary position and a new y-axis boundary position, and then position initialization of the cursor is performed later on. In so doing, upon alteration of the resolution of the screen, the cursor position is initialized and repositioned at the center of the screen. 
         [0029]    Step 3: determining a pair of displacement values representative of an x-axis displacement value Xd and a y-axis displacement value Yd of the cursor upon receipt of an inertial sensing signal generated from an inertial sensor of the pointing device. It is noted that the displacement values (Xd, Yd) are generated in response to the pointing device moved by the user. According to the present invention, the inertial sensor generates a negative displacement value Xd when the pointing device is being moved leftward along the x-axis, a positive displacement value Xd when being moved rightward along the x-axis, a negative displacement value Yd when being moved downward along the y-axis, and a positive displacement value Yd when being moved upward along the y-axis. The inertial sensor can be a gyroscope, an accelerometer, or a magnetic sensor. 
         [0030]    Step 4: calculating a new pair of virtual coordinates (x′, y′) of the cursor according to the x-axis displacement value Xd and the y-axis displacement value Yd, where x′=current x-axis virtual position x of the cursor+Xd; and y′=current y-axis virtual position y of the cursor+Yd; 
         [0031]    Step 5: calculating a new pair of boundary offset values (x, y) of the cursor based on the new pair of virtual coordinates (x′, y′) of the cursor so as to determine whether or not (x′, y′) fall within the boundaries (Xb, Yb) of the coordinate system on the screen. The determination for (x, y) is evaluated against the following criteria: 
         [0032]    (5.1) the x-axis boundary offset value x is set to zero if the new virtual coordinates x′ of the cursor fall within the x-axis boundary positions Xb (Xbl, Xbr) after the cursor is moved by the x-axis displacement value Xd 
         [0033]    (5.2) the x-axis boundary offset value x is calculate and recorded if the cursor falls outside the x-axis boundary positions Xb (Xbl, Xbr) in the coordinate system after the cursor is moved by the x-axis displacement value Xd, where x=x′−Xb; 
         [0034]    (5.3) the y-axis boundary offset value y is reset (e.g. y is set to zero) if the new virtual coordinates y′ of the cursor fall within the y-axis boundary positions Yb (Ybl, Ybu) after the cursor is moved by the y-axis displacement value Yd; 
         [0035]    (5.4) the y-axis boundary offset value y is calculated and recorded if the cursor falls outside the boundary positions Yb (Ybl, Ybu) in the coordinate system after the cursor is moved by the x-axis displacement value Xd, where y=y′−Yb. 
         [0036]    Step 6: outputting the cursor&#39;s movement on the screen according to the following criteria: 
         [0037]    (6.1) given x=y=0, converting the new pair of virtual coordinates (x′, y′) of the cursor into real coordinates (x, y), where x is set to x′, and y is set to y′, and thus the cursor is moved to a new position of the screen corresponding to the real coordinates (x, y); 
         [0038]    (6.2) given x≠0 and y=0, converting the new pair of virtual coordinates (x′, y′) of the cursor into real coordinates (x, y), where x is set to Xb, y is set to y′, and thus the cursor is moved to a new position of the screen corresponding to the real coordinates (x, y); 
         [0039]    (6.3) given x=0 and y≠0, converting the new pair of virtual coordinates (x′, y′) of the cursor into real coordinates (x, y), where x is set to x′, y is set to Yb, and thus the cursor is moved to a new position of the screen corresponding to the real coordinates (x, y); and 
         [0040]    (6.4) given x≠0 and y≠0, converting the new pair of virtual coordinates (x′, y′) of the cursor into real coordinates (x, y), where x is set to Xbr, and y is set to Ybl, and thus the cursor is moved to a new position of the screen corresponding to the real coordinates (x, y). 
         [0041]    Step 7: examining the screen&#39;s resolution, so as to allow alteration of the resolution of the screen when the pair of x and y equal zero. 
         [0042]    Step 8: ending the method, or returning to the Step 2.
