Abstract
Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a passive human interface device may be used. The human interface device may encode information regarding actuations of the human interface device in magnetic field distributions emanating from the human interface device. The magnetic field distribution may be sensed to identify user input provided by a user of the human interface device. The user input may be interpreted in the context of different modes of operation of the human interface device. The user input may be used to provide the computer implemented services.
