Patent ID: 8130134

Claim:
An interactive television system controller comprising an ergodynamic housing incorporated with a top panel, a main PCB board having a micro control unit, a 3-axis accelerometer, a wireless transmitter, and a wireless communication module, wherein said controller switches to data channel mode by the micro control unit sensing a user pressing continuously a first button on the controller activating the 3-axis accelerometer and the wireless communication module, wherein the 3-axis accelerometer senses the user's hand motion to generate acceleration data, wherein the micro control unit captures the acceleration data from the 3-axis accelerometer, wherein the micro control unit senses the user's button selection on a second group of one or more buttons on the controller to generate button status data of the second group of one or more buttons, wherein the micro control unit packetizes said acceleration data with the button status data to create packetized data, wherein the wireless communication module transmits the packetized data to an interactive system, wherein the interactive system receives the packetized data, wherein the interactive system quantizes said acceleration data according to pre-defined configurable quantization ranges stored in the interactive system, wherein the interactive system displaces a cursor on a screen of the interactive system to create a new cursor position based upon magnitude of the quantized acceleration data, and wherein said controller switches to commands channel mode by the micro control unit sensing the user releasing the first button.
