Abstract

A method for ascertaining a user input of a user of a first element and of a second element, the first element and the second element being electronic media devices or components of electronic media devices or of an electronic media device, the first element including an inertial sensor unit, in particular a rotation rate sensor unit. The method includes: outputting a sensor signal, by the inertial sensor unit, as a function of a motion of the first element; ascertaining a relative motion of the first element with reference to the second element by utilizing the output sensor signal, an overall motion of the first element being composed of an absolute motion and the relative motion, and the absolute motion of the first element being at least partially compensated for by utilizing the output sensor signal; and ascertaining the user input as a function of the ascertained relative motion.
