Patent ID: 7245251

Claim:
A system for pointing a device at a given target, the system comprising: a sensor for sensing a plurality of positional information points of at least one of the target, the device, and a platform support for the device, said sensor relaying said plurality of positional information points to a controller, wherein the controller computes a directional control information based upon said relayed plurality of positional information points, and wherein said plurality of positional information points of the target comprises a latitude positional information point and a longitude positional information point; and an adjustment device for positioning the device in a computed direction that bears a predetermined relationship to the target in response to said computed direction control information, wherein the target moves relative to said pointed device, and said sensor senses said plurality of positional information points, said sensor relaying said plurality of positional information points to said controller, said controller computing said directional control information to control said adjustment device, wherein said adjustment device points the device at the target, and wherein the device continuously points at the target as the target moves relative to said pointed device per unit time, and moves in response to the movement by the adjustment device.
