Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling a unit provided with a processor. The method includes receiving at least one graphical notation in the form of positions representing a sensor device's movement across a base that is provided with a position-coding pattern, while the graphical notation was made, identifying, based on the at least one graphical notation, at least one command for the unit provided with a processor, receiving an address to the unit provided with a processor, and controlling the unit provided with a processor by sending the at least one command to the address. A computer program product contained within a medium and a device for implementing the method is also provided. The method for controlling a unit provided with a processor uses a sensor device and a product kit for controlling a unit provided with a processor.
