Abstract:
A software application and system that enables point-and-click interaction with a TV screen. The application determines geocode positioning information for a handheld device, and uses that data to create a virtual pointer for a television display or interactive device. Some embodiments utilize motion sensing and touchscreen input for gesture recognition interacting with video content or interactive device. Motion sensing can be coupled with positioning or localization techniques the user to calibrate the location of the interactive devices and the user location to establish and maintain virtual pointer connection relationships. The system may utilize wireless network infrastructure and cloud-based calculation and storage of position and orientation values to enable the handheld device in the TV viewing area to replace or surpass the functionality of the traditional TV remote control, and also interface directly with visual feedback on the TV screen.

Claim (Index 45):
A method for facilitating interaction between a mobile device and interactive devices comprising steps of:\n a. observing by a processor on a handheld wireless device, utilizing an antenna and one or more sensors on the handheld wireless device, a plurality of distances relative to a plurality of fixed-location terrestrial network devices in a physical space and an orientation of the handheld wireless device to form the location and orientation information that reflects the location and orientation of the handheld wireless device within the physical space, and transmitting the location information from the handheld wireless device across at least one network; b. receiving at a remote server, across the at least one network, the location information from the handheld wireless device; c. calculating, by a processor at the remote server, a location of the handheld wireless device relative to at least one interactive device from the location and orientation information and a model of the physical space to determine that a user is pointing the handheld wireless device relative to the interactive device; d. determining, by at least one of the processors, at least one command input from a user of the handheld wireless device; e. transmitting the command to the at least one interactive device across at least one of the at least one networks in response to the step of determining and the location information; and f. duplicating, on a display of the handheld device, at least a portion of the user interface information of the interactive device, wherein the at least one interactive device comprises a controllable element in the physical environment that can be controlled as the handheld device is moved past the separate interactive device locations in physical space, using a model of the physical space.
