Patent number: 9910509Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable media are disclosed for controlling perspective of a camera-controlled computer. A capture device captures user gestures and sends corresponding data to a recognizer engine. The recognizer engine analyzes the data with a plurality of filters, each filter corresponding to a gesture. Based on the output of those filters, a perspective control is determined, and a display device displays a new perspective corresponding to the perspective control.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2016Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Relja Markovic, Gregory N. Snook, Stephen Latta, Kevin Geisner, Johnny Lee, Adam Jethro Langridge

Patent number: 9067136Abstract: A computing system is configured to receive one or more depth images, from the depth camera, of a world space scene including a human target. The computing system translates a world space position of a hand of the human target to a screen space cursor position of the user interface using a virtual desktop transformation. The computing system also dynamically adjusts the virtual desktop transformation based on a history of button press actions executed by the human target.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2011Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventor: Adam Jethro Langridge

Patent number: 8917240Abstract: A computing system includes a depth image analysis module to track a world-space pose of a human in a fixed, world-space coordinate system. The computing system further includes an interaction module to establish a virtual interaction zone with an interface-space coordinate system that tracks the human. The computing system also includes a transformation module to transform a position defined in the fixed, world-space coordinate system to a position defined in the interface-space coordinate system.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2013Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Adam Jethro Langridge, David Addis

Patent number: 8845431Abstract: Gestures of a computer user are observed with a depth camera. A trace gesture of the computer user is identified and an action performable within an interactive interface is selected based on the shape of the trace gesture.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2011Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Adam Jethro Langridge, Gary Carr

Publication number: 20140235350Abstract: Gestures of a computer user are observed with a depth camera. A throwing gesture of the computer user is identified and an aiming vector is calculated from a path of a hand during the throwing gesture. An interface action is directed along the aiming vector within an interactive interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2014Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Adam Jethro Langridge, Christopher Matthews

Patent number: 8740702Abstract: Gestures of a computer user are observed with a depth camera. A throwing gesture of the computer user is identified and an aiming vector is calculated from a path of a left and/or right hand during the throwing gesture. An interface action is directed along the aiming vector within an interactive interface.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2011Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Adam Jethro Langridge, Christopher Matthews

Patent number: 8657683Abstract: Gestures of a computer user are observed with a depth camera. A first gesture of the computer user is identified as one of a plurality of different action selection gestures, each action selection gesture associated with a different action performable within an interactive interface controlled by gestures of the computer user. A second gesture is identified as a triggering gesture that causes performance of the action associated with the action selection gesture.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2011Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Adam Jethro Langridge, Christopher Matthews, Guy Simmons, Peter Douglas Molyneux

Publication number: 20130293471Abstract: A computing system translates a world space position of a hand of a human target to a screen space cursor position of a user interface. When the cursor overlaps a button in the user interface, the computing system actuates the button in response to a movement of the hand in world space that changes the cursor position along a z-axis regardless of an initial z-axis position of the cursor.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2013Publication date: November 7, 2013Inventor: Adam Jethro Langridge

Patent number: 8497838Abstract: A computing system translates a world space position of a hand of a human target to a screen space cursor position of a user interface. When the cursor overlaps a button in the user interface, the computing system actuates the button in response to a movement of the hand in world space that changes the cursor position by a depth threshold along a z-axis regardless of an initial z-axis position of the cursor. When the button includes an activation lock, the computing system unlocks the activation lock, prior to button actuation, if the cursor path satisfies unlocking criteria.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2011Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Adam Jethro Langridge

Patent number: 8487871Abstract: A computing system includes a depth image analysis module to track a world-space pose of a human in a fixed, world-space coordinate system. The computing system further includes an interaction module to establish a virtual interaction zone with a moveable, interface-space coordinate system that tracks the human and moves relative to the fixed, world-space coordinate system. The computing system also includes a transformation module to transform a position defined in the fixed, world-space coordinate system to a position defined in the moveable, interface-space coordinate system.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2009Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Adam Jethro Langridge, David Addis
