Patent ID: 8120575

Claim:
An interactive pointing device, comprising: an accelerometer module, for generating at least one axis of accelerating signal; a gyroscope device, for sensing at least one axis of rotation movement of the interactive pointing device and generating a corresponding rotating signal; a turning mechanism, coupled to the gyroscope device for adjusting the orientation of the gyroscope device and generating a turning signal according to the orientation adjustment, comprises: a turning unit, capable of performing a rotation movement for adjusting a sensing axis of the gyroscope device, and a switch mechanism, capable of being activated by the rotation movement of the turning unit and being trigged to generate the turning signal as soon as the activated switch mechanism reaches a specific position; a micro processing unit, coupled to the accelerometer module, the turning mechanism and the gyroscope device for processing the at least one axis of accelerating signal, the turning signal and the rotating signal so as to interact with an electronic device accordingly; wherein the micro processing unit is able to use the rotating signal to compensate the accelerating signal and assist an action evaluation process of the interactive pointing device operating under different operation modes; a base, for carrying the gyroscope device; and a pivotal shaft, passing through the base for enabling the base to rotate about the pivotal shaft; wherein the switch mechanism further comprises: a contact, having an electrical connector disposed at an end thereof; an elastic element, being arranged to abut against an end of the contact for exerting a resilience force thereon and thus enabling the contact to move in reciprocation between a first position and a second position; and a substrate, arranged at a side of the contact for enabling the substrate to connect to the electrical connector when the contact reaches the first position.
