Patent number: 10558325Abstract: Systems and methods allow a user to interact with an augmented reality device. In one implementation, a wearable device for controlling operation of an on-board component includes a display; at least one sensor configured to provide an output indicative of a viewing direction of a user; and at least one processing device. The at least one processing device is configured to cause at least one graphical icon associated with a control of at least one aspect of the on-board component to be shown on the display; determine, based on the output of the at least one sensor, whether the user is looking in a direction of the at least one graphical icon; and initiate the control of the at least one aspect of the on-board component when the user is determined to be looking in the direction of the at least one graphical icon.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2014Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Upskill, Inc.Inventors: James Leighton Athey, Todd Richard Reily, Michael Anthony Sciscenti

Patent number: 10466858Abstract: Systems and methods allow a user to interact with an augmented reality device. In one implementation, a wearable device for providing a virtual menu to a user includes a display; at least one sensor configured to provide an output indicative of a viewing direction the user; and at least one processing device. The at least one processing device is configured to cause a virtual menu to be shown on the display; monitor a viewing direction of the user based on the output of the at least one sensor; determine, based on the monitored viewing direction, whether the user is looking in a direction of a selectable element of the virtual menu; determine an amount of time that the user looks in the direction of the selectable element; and cause at least one action associated with the selectable element if the amount of time exceeds a predetermined dwell time threshold.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2014Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Upskill, Inc.Inventors: Brian Adams Ballard, James Leighton Athey, Jeffrey Edward Jenkins, Todd Richard Reily, Harold Ronald Villanueva Tagunicar, Michael Anthony Sciscenti

Patent number: 9996221Abstract: Systems and methods allow a user to interact with an augmented reality device. In one implementation, a wearable device establishes a communication path with a user of the wearable device and at least one individual. The wearable device includes a display; at least one sensor configured to provide an output indicative of a viewing direction of the user; and at least one processing device. The at least one processing device is configured to monitor the viewing direction of the user based on the output of the at least one sensor; determine, based on the monitored viewing direction, whether the user is looking in the direction of the at least one individual; and establish the communication path between the user and the at least one individual if the user is determined to be looking in the direction of the at least one individual.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2014Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Upskill, Inc.Inventors: Brian Adams Ballard, James Leighton Athey, Edward Robert English, Todd Richard Reily, Harold Ronald Villanueva Tagunicar, Michael Anthony Sciscenti

Patent number: 9779517Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying augmented reality (AR) content are disclosed. The AR device may include a display configured to display real-world content overlaid with AR content and at least one sensor configured to provide an output indicative of an orientation, location, or motion of the AR device. The system may also include a processor device configured to: cause the AR content to be shown on the display at an initial location on the display; determine a change in orientation of the AR device based on the output of the at least one sensor; and change a position of the AR content on the display to a second location on the display, wherein the change in position of the AR content from the initial location to the second location is related to the determined change in orientation of the AR device.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Upskill, Inc.Inventors: Brian Adams Ballard, Jeff Jenkins, Edward Robert English, Todd Richard Reily, James Leighton Athey

Patent number: 9727211Abstract: Systems and methods allow a user to interact with an augmented reality device. In one implementation, a lockable, wearable device is provided. The wearable device comprises a display; at least one sensor configured to provide an output indicative of a viewing direction of a user; and at least one processing device. The at least one processing device is configured to track a pattern of the viewing direction of the user; and unlock the lockable, wearable device to provide the user with access to information on the display of the device when the tracked pattern of movement matches a predetermined pattern of movement.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2015Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: Upskill, Inc.Inventors: Brian Adams Ballard, Wonjae Kim, Jeffrey Edward Jenkins, Todd Richard Reily
