  • Finger gesture user interface
    Patent number: 9262074
    Abstract: A light-based finger gesture user interface for an electronic device including a housing for an electronic device, a display mounted in the housing, a cavity, separated from the display, penetrating two opposite sides of the housing, a detector mounted in the housing operative to detect an object inserted in the cavity, and a processor connected to the detector and to the display for causing the display to render a visual representation in response to output from the detector.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 2014
    Date of Patent: February 16, 2016
    Assignee: Neonode, Inc.
    Inventors: Thomas Eriksson, Per Leine, Jochen Laveno Mangelsdorff, Robert Pettersson, Anders Jansson, Magnus Goertz

  • LIGHT-BASED FINGER GESTURE USER INTERFACE
    Publication number: 20140333558
    Abstract: A finger gesture user interface for an electronic device, including a housing for an electronic device including a front opening in a front outer surface of the housing, a rear opening in a rear outer surface of the housing, and inner sidewalls extending from the front opening to the rear opening to form a cavity, a display, mounted in the housing along a plane transverse to the front and rear openings, for rendering a 3D realm, a detector mounted in the inner sidewalls, operable to detect translation of a finger inserted in the cavity along a dimension of the cavity transverse to the display plane, and a processor connected to the detector and to the display for interpreting the detected finger translation as a user interface input command to move within the 3D realm along the dimension transverse to the display.

  • Finger gesture user interface
    Patent number: 8810551
    Abstract: A finger gesture user interface for an electronic device including a housing for an electronic device including a front opening in a front outer surface of the housing, a rear opening in a rear outer surface of the housing, and inner sidewalls extending from the front opening to the rear opening to form a cavity, a display mounted in the housing, wherein the whole cavity is disposed along a side of the display, separate from the display, a detector mounted in the inner sidewalls, operable to detect a translation gesture of a finger inserted in the cavity, and a processor connected to the detector and to the display for interpreting the detected gesture as a user interface input command to modify a graphic rendered on the display.
