  • Patent number: 11922007
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods and systems are disclosed for interacting with an electronic device, including inputting letters. One embodiment of the apparatus includes buttons and a text output field displayed on a touch-sensitive display screen. Each button is assigned one or more letters. The text output field displays text and tentative letter selection indicators. In one embodiment of the method, the device records button actuations that ambiguously identify letter selections. With each actuation, a tentative letter selection indicator becomes appended to the end of the contents of the text output field. Upon activation of a button such as a spacebar button, or in response to an event such as expiration of a time period, a language algorithm disambiguates the recorded ambiguously identified letter selections and returns a word suggestion. The returned word replaces a sequence of appended tentative letter selection indicators displayed in the text output field.

  • Patent number: 11828945
    Abstract: A personal, electronic target vision system renders targets in the field of view of the user in real-time so that the user can visualize where the targets are relative to him, in an orientation analogous to unaided human vision. An electronic vision device exchanges target selection information with a target vision server which returns to the electronic vision device the corresponding selected target location information for rendering selected targets in accordance with the user's changing viewpoint. The target vision server queries a target information server in order to access, filter and provide the real-time target location information required by the electronic vision device. A surveillance system of sensors and target tracking systems provides the target information server with target location information.

    Abstract: A dot array illuminator includes an illumination source that includes one or more source arrays and a microlens array (MLA). A source array is an array of light emitting components. The source arrays are positioned on a substrate according to a geometric configuration. The MLA includes lens arrays that are arranged in a similar geometric configuration. The microlens array are separated from the source arrays by a distance and are substantially parallel to the source arrays. The microlens array overlaps with the source arrays and is of a dimension such that it can receive substantially all light emitted by the illumination source. The illumination source emits light towards the MLA. The MLA receives the light and outputs structured pattern light by interpolating received light.
