A method for remotely controlling a computer (10) having an associated screen (16) for displaying output from the computer (10) and having an internal cursor (26) generated by the computer (10) includes at detecting least one property of an external cursor (22). In one embodiment, the invention includes a computer (10) connected to a projector (12), which projects an image of the computer (10) onto an external screen (16). A camera (14) is used to capture the image of the projected computer output. An optical pointer (24), such as a laser pointer, is used to generate and transmit an external cursor (22) having various properties, such as color, shape, or intensity. The image captured by the camera (14) is used to detect and process at least one property of the external cursor (22) to generate a corresponding command or commands to control the computer (10). Commands may be used to emulate control of the computer (10) typically provided by a pointing device such as a mouse or track ball.

L'invention concerne un procédé de commande à distance d'un ordinateur (10) présentant un écran (16) d'affichage et un curseur interne (26) généré par l'ordinateur (10). Ce procédé consiste à détecter au moins une propriété d'un curseur externe (22). Selon un mode de réalisation, l'invention concerne un ordinateur (10) connecté à un projecteur (12) projetant une image depuis l'ordinateur (10) sur un écran externe (16). Une caméra (14) est prévue pour capturer l'image de ce qui est projeté sur l'ordinateur. Un pointeur optique (24), notamment un pointeur laser, sert à générer et à transmettre un curseur externe (22) ayant différentes propriétés concernant la couleur, la forme ou l'intensité. L'image capturée par la caméra (14) est utilisée pour détecter et traiter au moins une propriété du curseur externe (22) de manière à générer une ou des commande(s) correspondante(s) pour piloter l'ordinateur (10). Les commandes peuvent servir à émuler la commande de l'ordinateur (10) grâce à un dispositif de pointage tel qu'une souris ou une boule de commande.
