An error-correction apparatus and method and a three-dimensional (3D) pointing device using the error-correction apparatus are provided. The error-correction apparatus includes a data-collection module which collects current data and calculates an actual variation in the current data; an estimation module which calculates an estimated data variation for the current data based on a number of data variations for respective corresponding previous data; a threshold-calculation module which calculates a variable threshold based on the data variations for the respective previous data; and a determination module which compares the difference between the actual data variation and the estimated data variation with the variable threshold and determines whether the current data is erroneous based on the result of the comparison.

A fluxgate sensor is integrated in a printed circuit board. The fluxgate sensor has two bar-type (or rectangular-ring shaped) soft magnetic cores to form a closed magnetic path on a printed circuit board and an excitation coil in the form of a metal film is wound around the two bar-type soft magnetic cores either in a united structure that winds the two bar-type soft magnetic cores altogether, or in a separated structure that winds the two bar-type soft magnetic cores respectively, both in a pattern of number ‘8’. A pick-up coil is mounted on the excitation coil, either winding the two bars altogether, or respectively, in a solenoid pattern. The fluxgate sensor integrated in the printed circuit board can be mass-produced at a cheap manufacturing cost. The fluxgate sensor also can be made compact-sized, and at the same time, is capable of forming a closed-magnetic path. As a result, flux leakage is minimized, and the fluxgate sensor has a high sensitivity as it detects the magnetic field through a variable driving.

Disclosed is a mobile communication device for searching data based on a rotation angle. The mobile communication device includes a body; a geomagnetic sensor for detecting a rotation angle of the body based on an axis perpendicular to the earth surface; a main memory for storing an image corresponding to the rotation angle; a display unit for displaying the image on a screen; and a control unit for, if the rotation angle detected in the geomagnetic sensor is changed, extracting an image corresponding to the changed rotation angle from the main memory and controlling the display unit to display the image. With this technology, data can be searched conveniently without manipulating keys many times.

A geomagnetic sensor for computing an azimuth and a method thereof. The geomagnetic sensor includes a geomagnetic sensor module, including X, Y and Z axis fluxgates orthogonal to one another, for performing normalization for mapping output values of the X, Y and Z axis fluxgates onto a previously set normalization range using previously set normalization factors, an operation module for performing operation of new normalization factors based on a plurality of normalization values output from the geomagnetic sensor module when the geomagnetic sensor is swung within a previously set range, a tilt sensor module for computing a pitch angle and a roll angle, and a control module for providing the new normalization factors to the geomagnetic sensor module to allow the geomagnetic sensor module to perform renormalization and computing an azimuth using the output values renormalized by the geomagnetic sensor module and the pitch and roll angles computed during the renormalization. Therefore, it is possible to easily compute the normalization factors used for azimuth compensation.
