XR Cursor Control Using IMU Input for Faster Interaction

The patent replaces traditional mechanical interaction methods (eye movement detection, gesture detection, hand shaking) with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) based system. The IMU uses microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology to detect device orientation and movement, enabling faster and more accurate cursor control without relying on slow mechanical gestures or eye tracking mechanisms.

The patent changes the detection parameters from qualitative gestures and eye movements to quantitative inertial data (acceleration, rotation rates, orientation angles). By measuring physical parameters such as device tilt angle and acceleration vectors, the system achieves higher interaction speed and accuracy while maintaining relatively simple hardware architecture.

The patent replaces imprecise mechanical interaction methods with an IMU-based detection system that provides high-precision measurement of device orientation and movement. The IMU's ability to accurately measure angular velocity, acceleration, and orientation enables precise cursor control and interaction, significantly improving measurement precision without adding complex mechanical structures.

The system uses the terminal device itself as the input controller, eliminating the need for separate control mechanisms. The device's own motion and orientation, detected by the IMU, directly control the cursor and interaction elements, providing high accuracy while keeping the system architecture simple and self-contained.

The patent implements a universal input system where a single terminal device serves multiple interaction functions. The device can operate as an IMU controller for motion-based input, a touch screen for direct contact input, and a keyboard for text input, all through one integrated system. This multi-functionality approach increases versatility without proportionally increasing complexity, as the same hardware platform supports multiple input modes.

The system dynamically switches between different input methods based on user needs and context. The terminal device can transition between IMU control mode, touch input mode, and keyboard input mode, allowing the system to adapt to different interaction scenarios. This dynamic flexibility provides versatile input options while maintaining a relatively simple underlying architecture that can activate different functions as needed.
