Abstract

A method includes receiving movement data (pitch movement data, yaw movement data, and roll movement data) from a first device corresponding to movement of an input device. The method also includes receiving acceleration data from a second device corresponding to an acceleration of the input device and detecting a motion of the input device from a reference position based on the movement data and the acceleration data. The motion is defined by a pitch movement from the reference position that exceeds a first predetermined movement threshold value, a yaw movement from the reference position that is below a second predetermined movement threshold value, and a roll movement from the reference position that is below a third predetermined movement threshold value. The pitch movement has an acceleration greater than a predetermined acceleration threshold value. The method further includes triggering a function on the input device in response to detecting the motion.
