20150177830 | PROVIDING LAST KNOWN BROWSING LOCATION CUE USING MOVEMENT-ORIENTED BIOMETRIC DATA - Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for providing a last known browsing location cue using movement-oriented biometric data are presented. Movement-oriented biometric data is received and used to detect that a user is distracted from a computer interface. A visual cue is provided indicating a last known browsing location. The visual cue may be provided after a certain amount of time or in response to detecting that the user's attention is returned to the computer interface. The visual cue may be removed after a certain amount of time or in response to detecting that the user's attention is returned to the computer interface. An inattention time corresponding to the user distraction may be determined and used to identify the last known browsing location. The biometric data may be compared to thresholds and profiles to determine whether the user is attentive or distracted. | 06-25-2015 |
20150199564 | IMAGE GESTURES FOR EDGE INPUT - An aspect provides a method, including: capturing, using an image sensor, an image of a user; detecting, using a processor, a user gesture forming an edge within the image; capturing, using the image sensor, at least one additional image of the user; detecting, using the processor, a user gesture relating to the edge of the image; and committing, using the processor, a predetermined action according to the user gesture relating to the edge of the image. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 07-16-2015 |
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 |
20150205360 | TABLE TOP GESTURES FOR MIMICKING MOUSE CONTROL - An aspect provides a method, including: capturing, using an image sensor of an information handling device, a user gesture input; determining, using a processor, that the user gesture input comprises an activating gesture input; capturing, using the image sensor of the information handling device, controlling gesture input of the user; detecting, within the captured controlling gesturing input, gestures provided on a surface and mimicking use of a mouse; and controlling an application running on the information handling device based on the controlling gesture input of the user. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 07-23-2015 |
20150302246 | FORMING SCANNED COMPOSITE DOCUMENT WITH OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION FUNCTION - An embodiment provides a method, including: capturing, using an image capture device of an electronic device, image data of a document; processing, using a processor, the image data; the processing including identifying text within the image data to form two or more images into a composite document of the document; and storing, in a memory, data related to the composite document. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 10-22-2015 |
20150312951 | DEVICE PAIRING - An embodiment provides a method, including: receiving data relating to a first command from a user; recognizing the data relating to the first command as being directed to a first user device; receiving data relating to a second command from a user; recognizing the data relating to the second command as being directed to a second user device; determining that the first user device and the second user device are to be paired with one another based on the data relating to the first command and the data relating to the second command; and pairing the first device with the second device; wherein one or more of the data relating to the first command and the data relating to the second command comprises data related to a non-touch input modality. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 10-29-2015 |
20150325049 | AUGMENTING A DIGITAL IMAGE - For augmenting a digital image, code identifies a structure image in a digital image. The code further augments the digital image with structure information for the structure image and/or the digital image with structure image removed. | 11-12-2015 |
20150331534 | DETECTING INADVERTENT GESTURE CONTROLS - An embodiment provides a method, including: capturing, using an image capture device, image data; analyzing, using a processor, the image data to identify a gesture control; determining, using a processor, the gesture control was inadvertent; and disregarding, using a processor, the gesture control. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 11-19-2015 |
