Abstract
A remote control device and method are described for controlling an input parameter to an electronic device. In one embodiment, the remote control device includes a housing sized to be held in the hand of a user during operation of the remote control device and a gyroscopic sensor that is integrated with the housing and configured to produce a signal in response to an angular motion about a single reference axis. The input parameter that the user wants to control is responsive to the signal that the gyroscopic sensor produces when the gyroscopic sensor is activated.
