20100295823 | APPARATUS FOR TOUCHING REFLECTION IMAGE USING AN INFRARED SCREEN - An apparatus for touching a reflection image using an infrared screen, more particularly to an apparatus for touching a reflection image using an infrared screen comprising infrared LEDs, an infrared camera, and a projector for projecting an image in free space so as to implement a virtual touch screen in free space. | 11-25-2010 |
20110148821 | Infrared Screen-Type Space Touch Apparatus - Disclosed herein is an infrared screen-type space touch apparatus. The infrared screen-type space touch apparatus includes an infrared LED array provided with infrared LEDs arranged in a line, and configured to emit infrared rays and generate an infrared screen in a space. An infrared camera is installed to allow a lens thereof to face the infrared screen. A space touch sensor module senses a location touched by a user pointing means on the infrared screen from a gray scale image captured by the infrared camera. | 06-23-2011 |
20110148822 | Three-Dimensional Space Touch Apparatus Using Multiple Infrared Cameras - Disclosed herein is a 3D space touch apparatus. The 3D space touch apparatus includes a support, an infrared LED array, left and right infrared cameras, and a space touch sensor module. The support supports the infrared LED array and the left and right infrared cameras. The infrared LED array emits infrared rays, which form an infrared screen in a space above the support. The left and right infrared cameras are disposed on the left and right sides of the support so that the lenses thereof can be oriented to the infrared screen. The space touch sensor module calculates the X-, Y- and Z-axis coordinates of a location of the infrared screen, touched by user pointing means, using images captured by the left and right infrared cameras and information about the resolutions and angles of view of the left and right infrared cameras. | 06-23-2011 |
20120113104 | TABLE TYPE INTERACTIVE 3D SYSTEM - A table type 3D video display device and a table type interactive user interface are disclosed. More particularly, a method for providing services such as games, education, shopping, virtual experience, or the like, of a 3D type is disclosed. The interactive 3D system of the present invention includes a table type 3D display module | 05-10-2012 |
20120140019 | MOBILE TERMINAL AND METHOD OF PROVIDING VIDEO CALLS USING THE SAME - A mobile terminal and a method of providing a video call using the same are disclosed. More particularly, a mobile terminal capable of supporting a video call while ensuring user's privacy by mounting a three-dimensional depth camera and a two-dimensional camera in the mobile terminal and a method of providing a video call using the same are disclosed. The mobile terminal of the present invention includes a 2D camera | 06-07-2012 |
20130127704 | SPATIAL TOUCH APPARATUS USING SINGLE INFRARED CAMERA - The present disclosure relates to a spatial touch apparatus using a single infrared camera. More particularly, it relates to a spatial touch apparatus to implement a virtual touch screen in a free space by using an infrared light emitting diode (LED) array and a single infrared camera and to calculate X-axis and Z-axis coordinates of the infrared screen touched by a user indication object. Therefore, the present invention will provide tangible and interactive user interfaces to users and can implement more various user interfaces (UI) than a conventional 2D touch apparatus. | 05-23-2013 |
20130127705 | APPARATUS FOR TOUCHING PROJECTION OF 3D IMAGES ON INFRARED SCREEN USING SINGLE-INFRARED CAMERA - The present invention relates to an apparatus for touching a projection of a 3D image on an infrared screen using a single-infrared camera, and more specifically to an apparatus for touching a projection of a 3D image, which projects an image in a free space; recognizes a position touched by a user on the projected image and thus can process an order from a user on the basis of the recognized touched position. The present invention can provide tangible and interactive user interfaces to users. In particular, it is possible to implement various UIs (User Interface), in comparison to an apparatus for touching a projection of a 2D image of the related art, by using the Z-axial coordinate on the infrared screen as the information on depth. | 05-23-2013 |
20140168265 | HEAD-UP DISPLAY APPARATUS BASED ON AUGMENTED REALITY - Disclosed is a head-up display apparatus based on AR that three-dimensionally displays augmented image information on an object external to a vehicle on the basis of actual distance information between the vehicle and the external object, and thus can provide realistic information to a driver. The head-up display apparatus includes a distance information generating unit configured to receive an image signal from an image signal inputting apparatus capturing an image in front of a vehicle and generate distance information on each of a plurality of objects in the front image, an information image generating unit configured to generate an information image of each object in the front image, and an augmentation processing unit configured to generate augmented information image of each object on the basis of the distance information on each object. | 06-19-2014 |
20150026646 | USER INTERFACE APPARATUS BASED ON HAND GESTURE AND METHOD PROVIDING THE SAME - Provided is a user interface (UI) apparatus based on a hand gesture. The UI apparatus includes an image processing unit configured to detect a position of an index finger and a center position of a hand from a depth image obtained by photographing a user's hand, and detect a position of a thumb on a basis of the detected position of the index finger and the detected center position of the hand, a hand gesture recognizing unit configured to recognize a position change of the index finger and a position change of the thumb, and a function matching unit configured to match the position change of the index finger to a predetermined first function, match the position change of the thumb to a predetermined second function, and output a control signal for executing each of the matched functions. | 01-22-2015 |
