Abstract:

A system and method supporting the direct entry of characters by sensing and analyzing user motion. This motion can be the movement of one or more fingers or of a stylus over a touchpad integrated into a remote-control unit, or the motion of a remote-control unit itself tracked by a motion sensor. The sensed motions correspond to patterns representing one or more characters, words, phrases, or commands. Information indicative of the patterns is then analyzed by the system and translated into a corresponding characters, commands or actions. This translated information is then provided to a digital media system as an input or a command.
