Patent ID: 7274680

Claim:
A combined mobile communication plus pointing device comprising: one or more transceivers to transmit and receive communication signals in a first frequency at a first power level for a first distance, and pointing control signals in a second frequency at a second power level for a second distance, where the first and second frequencies, the first and second power levels, and the first and second distances are different from each other; communication input/output (I/O) mechanism to facilitate a user to communicate with another party; a movement mechanism to facilitate a user in conveying movements to control pointing on a computing device located proximally adjacent to said mobile communication plus pointing device; and a processor assembly, including storage medium and instructions stored therein, coupled to the one or more transceivers, the communication I/O mechanism, and the movement mechanism to integrate the one or more transceivers, the communication I/O mechanism and the movement mechanism to selectively facilitate the user in communicating with the other party and to control pointing on the proximally located computing device.
