Abstract

The invention relates to mapping detected movement of an interference pattern of a coherent light beam to cursor movement to effect navigation of a user interface. A method, system and apparatus provide that movement of an interference pattern of a coherent light beam is mapped to cursor movement to effect navigation of a user interface. A remote controller operable to emit a coherent light beam is in cooperative arrangement with a display device operable to display a user interface, navigable by means of a cursor. A laser diode element and coupled diffuser element of the remote controller generate the coherent light beam. Movement of the remote controller causes movement of an interference pattern of the coherent light beam impinging upon a sensor of the display device; movement of the interference pattern is sensed by the display device and mapped to corresponding movement of the cursor in the user interface. Thus, the remote controller may be used to navigate an on-screen user interface by movement of the remote controller itself.

[0001] Copyright Notice [0002] Portions of the disclosure of this patent document may contain material that is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction of the patent document or the patent disclosure as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office's patent files or records, but otherwise reserves all copyrights. technical field [0003] The present application relates to mapping detected movement of an interference pattern of coherent light beams to cursor movement to enable navigation of a user interface. Background technique [0004] As the applications available using various consumer electronics (CE) devices have become richer and more complex, devices for communicating with users of these devices, such as user interfaces (UIs) including graphical user interfaces (GUIs), have also become become more complicated. For example, some recent TVs have applications for displaying pictures or JPEG images in additio...
