Abstract: A positioning method and a handheld device for performing the method are disclosed. In the method, a handheld device captures images corresponding to positions of a reference when the handheld device points toward the reference. A first image position, a first tilt angle indicative of a rotation angle of the handheld device, and a first pointing coordinate of the reference can obtained. A second pointing coordinate according to the first image position and a second tilt angle are obtained. Therefore, a first displacement vector between the first pointing coordinate and the second pointing coordinate can be computed. A third pointing coordinate can also be obtained. When a substantial movement of the positions of the reference revealed in the images captured by the handheld device is found, an output pointing coordinate is obtained. The output can be outputting a cursor parameter for controlling a cursor controlled by the handheld device.

Abstract: An image identification method is used to eliminate accumulated error of operation of a joystick. The joystick has an optical sensor adapted to analyze a movement of a plurality of identification dots disposed on a stick body. The image identification method includes receiving a series of detection images, setting a first identification dot of the plurality of identification dots as being a reference identification dot, and setting a second identification dot of the plurality of identification dos as being the reference identification dot and cancelling the first identification dot as being the reference identification dot when the first identification dot is near a border of the detection image. A position change of the reference identification dot in the series of detection images is used for identifying a control status of the joystick.
