20150147730 | TYPING FEEDBACK DERIVED FROM SENSOR INFORMATION - An embodiment provides a method, including: operating a sensor of an information handling device to capture location information of a user; determining, using a processor to analyze the location information, a position of a finger of a user relative to a keyboard location; determining, using the processor, a difference between an expected location for the finger and the position of the finger of the user relative to the keyboard location; and offering, using the processor, feedback regarding the difference determined. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 05-28-2015 |
20150154394 | GESTURE CONTROLLED LOGIN - An embodiment provides a method, including: activating, at an information handling device, an optical sensor; initiating, using a processor, an identification sequence; receiving, at the optical sensor, a sequence of user gesture input; determining if the sequence of user gesture input matches a predetermined sequence of user gesture input stored as training data, the determining comprising comparing, using the processor, data points derived from a three dimensional limb movement of the user gesture input with the stored training data; and providing an identification result. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 06-04-2015 |
20150205359 | INTERACTIVE USER GESTURE INPUTS - An aspect provides a method, including: capturing, using a gesture input component of an information handling device, a user gesture input; processing, using a processor, the captured user gesture input to extract one or more features; comparing, using a processor, the one or more extracted features of the user gesture input to a predetermined gesture input; determining, using a processor, that a confidence level calculated based on the comparing exceeds a lower similarity threshold but does not exceed a higher similarity threshold; and performing an action selected from the group consisting of communicating with the user, and adjusting the gesture input component. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 07-23-2015 |
20150256137 | FORMANT AMPLIFIER - A method can include receiving audio data within a band of frequencies; amplifying individualized formant frequencies within the band of frequencies; and outputting audio data that includes at least one of the amplified individualized formant frequencies.
