20150138085 | Electronic apparatus for simulating or interfacing a backward compatible human input device by means or control of a gesture recognition system - Method and apparatus where human gestures are interpreted by means of software running on a host computer, into screen coordinates and low level commands—keyboard presses, clicks, double-clicks, drag-and-drop, wheel scroll etc.—which are sent to a hardware peripheral, instead of a software based Application Programming Interface, which hardware corrects and polishes the said screen coordinates and low level commands and translates said data by means of emulating, simulating or manipulating the protocol of an actual Human Input Device (HID)—such as a standard keyboard, mouse, joystick, touchpad, etc.—which actual HID-compliant device or simuloid is embedded into the invention, proper, and is in turn connected back into the host computer where it's recognized by native drivers as a standard HID device so that it may interact with common end-user programs in the usual manner—but thus be controlled by means of human gestures. | 2015-05-21 |
20150138086 | CALIBRATING CONTROL DEVICE FOR USE WITH SPATIAL OPERATING SYSTEM - Systems and methods comprise an input device. A detector is coupled to a processor and detects an orientation of the input device. The input device has modal orientations corresponding to the orientation, and the modal orientations correspond to a input modes of a gestural control system. The detector is coupled to the gestural control system and automatically controls selection of an input mode in response to the orientation. A calibration object comprises a plurality of sensors, and the calibration object receives data used to calibrate the input device. | 2015-05-21 |
20150138087 | HEAD-UP DISPLAY APPARATUS AND DISPLAY METHOD THEREOF - A head-up display apparatus includes: a head-up display unit including a first region in which general driving information is displayed and a second region in which circumference environment interworking information is displayed; a position information obtaining unit that obtains position information on an obstacle in front of a vehicle; and a controlling unit that controls the head-up display unit to display the circumference environment interworking information in the first region when the obstacle in front of the vehicle is present within a preset first distance. | 2015-05-21 |
20150138088 | Apparatus and Method for Recognizing Spatial Gesture - The present invention relates to an apparatus for recognizing a gesture in a space. In accordance with an embodiment, a spatial gesture recognition apparatus includes a pattern formation unit for radiating light onto a surface of an object required to input a gesture in a virtual air bounce, and forming a predetermined pattern on the surface of the object, an image acquisition unit for acquiring a motion image of the object, and a processing unit for recognizing a gesture input by the object based on the pattern formed on the surface of the object using the acquired image. In this way, depending on the depths of an object required to input a gesture in a space, haptic feedbacks having different intensities are provided, and thus a user can precisely input his or her desired gesture. | 2015-05-21 |
