摘要： An inertial sensing input apparatus is disclosed, which includes: an accelerometer module, capable of detecting accelerations with respect to a Cartesian coordinate system of X-, Y-, and Z-axes; and a gyroscope, used for detecting a rotation measured with respect to the Z-axis. By the aforesaid input apparatus, an input method can be provided which comprises steps of: (a) zeroing each and every sensing element of the input apparatus at rest for defining base signals with respect to each of such sensing elements; (b) using a Z-axis accelerometer selected among those sensing elements to detect and determine whether Z-axis accelerations of the input apparatus measured along the Z-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system are varying; (c) enabling the input apparatus to enter a surface (2D) operating mode while no acceleration varying is detected along the Z axis, whereas an X-axis accelerometer and a Y-axis accelerometer are activated accordingly to detect an X-axis acceleration and a Y-axis acceleration in respective and thus generate an X-axis acceleration signal and a Y-axis acceleration signal correspondingly, and the same time that a gyroscope is activated to detect a rotation of the input apparatus caused when the input apparatus is moving and thus generate an angular velocity signal correspondingly for compensating the X-axis acceleration signal and the Y-axis acceleration signal; (d) enabling the input apparatus to enter a space (3D) operating mode while acceleration varying is detected along the Z axis. Hence, not only the input apparatus is freed from the limitation of operation space and is capable of compensating the unconscious rotation caused by a human operation as it is being held in a human hand, but also it is freed from the interferences caused by the electronic noises generated from the inertial sensing elements.
