Abstract

An operating method of a display device includes controlling a shift of a cursor of a user interface reference frame according to a shift of the pointing device with reference to an initial point in a 3D spatial reference frame; and updating a position of the initial point in the 3D spatial reference frame according to an updating signal. An advantage of the present invention is when the operating range is changed, reference coordinates utilized by the pointing device are appropriately adjusted, so as to lower the affect of offset, allowing the pointing device to be applied in different areas/directions without having the cursor displayed on the display device to incorrectly reflect shift of the pointing device.

Claims (15)

1. An operating method of a pointing device, comprising:

controlling a shift of a cursor in a user interface reference frame according to a shift of the pointing device with reference to an initial point in a 3D (three-dimensional) spatial reference frame;

updating a position of the initial point in the 3D spatial reference frame according to an updating signal;

setting a border of the 3D spatial reference frame;

generating the updating signal when the shift of the pointing device exceeds the border; and

moving the position of the initial point in the 3D spatial reference frame according to the shift of the pointing device, when receiving the updating signal.

2. The operating method of claim 1 , wherein updating the position of the initial point in the 3D spatial reference frame according to the updating signal comprises:

detecting a position of the pointing device when receiving the updating signal; and

replacing the position of the initial point in the 3D spatial reference frame according to the position detected of the pointing device.

3. The operating method of claim 1 , wherein moving the position of the initial point in the 3D spatial reference frame according to the shift of the pointing device comprises:

moving the position of the initial point in the 3D spatial reference frame according to a first direction, when the shift of the pointing device is the first direction; and

a magnitude of moving the position of the initial point in the 3D spatial reference frame is directly proportional to the shift of the pointing device.

4. The operating method of claim 1 , wherein setting the border of the 3D spatial reference frame comprises:

detecting a resolution of a display module for obtaining a border of the user interface reference frame; and

setting the border of the 3D spatial reference frame to correspond to the border of the user interface reference frame, so when the cursor is at the border of the user interface reference frame, the pointing device is at the border of the 3D spatial reference frame.
