  • Patent number: 11126228
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for determining an interaction position. The method is applied to a projection interactive system. In the display direction of the projection plane, the light plane is formed above the projection plane via the predetermined light signal emitted by the light emitter, and the image pickup device can collect the predetermined light signal from the work region of the light plane. The predetermined light signal is monitored when the predetermined light signal collected by the image pickup device is obtained. As long as a person interacts with the projected image, the light plane for identifying the interaction position is inevitably penetrated, leading to the change of the predetermined light. The projection interactive system can recognize the signal change generated by the interacting action, and determine the interaction position of the interacting action according to the signal change.

    Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure relate to automated presentation control during presentation of one or more digital documents. Processing operations described herein may be configured to work with any type of application/service, where examples described herein extend to presentation of any type of digital document(s) including slide-based presentations. Speech signals may be detected while a digital document is being presented. The detected speech signals may be converted to text. The converted text may be matched with contextual data (e.g., pre-processed content) associated with the digital document. Probability scoring for determination of a next placement position of a digital document may be generated based on the matching of converted text with the contextual data of the digital document. The next placement position may be selected based on the generated probability scoring. Display of the digital document may be automatically updated to reflect the selected next placement position.

  • Patent number: 10922532
    Abstract: An interactive seating system includes first seats in a first section, a first sensor device, second seats in a second section, a second sensor device, a first processing unit, a second processing unit, and an output device. The first sensor device and the second sensor device observe the first seats and the second seats, respectively. The first processing unit receives data from the first sensor device and the second sensor device and interprets an emotional state of occupants in the first and second seats based on the received data from the first and second sensor device, respectively. The second processing unit receives the interpreted emotional states, and compares the interpreted emotional states between the first and second sections. The output device automatically produces an output, that is observable by the occupants, based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 10878171
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for presenting lesson content to a user. Lesson content and associated metadata are received and indicate a passage action that may be triggered during presentation of the lesson content to a user. At least some of the lesson content is presented to the user via a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) document. One or more trigger events may be detected during presentation and, in response, the passage action is applied to the HTML document by: accessing display parameters indicating a visual effect and a portion of the lesson content associated with the passage action, generating an HTML container element, and modifying the HTML document to include the HTML container element. The modified HTML document is presented to the user.

  • Patent number: 10853911
    Abstract: Implementations relate to dynamic adaptation of images for projection by a projector, based on one or more properties of user(s) that are in an environment with the projector. The projector can be associated with an automated assistant client of a client device. In some versions of those implementations, a pose of a user in the environment is determined and, based on the pose, a base image for projecting onto a surface is warped to generate a transformed image. The transformed image, when projected onto a surface and viewed from the pose of the user, mitigates perceived differences relative to the base image. The base image (on which the transformed image is based) can optionally be generated in dependence on a distance of the user. Some implementations additionally or alternatively relate to dynamic adaptation of projection parameters (e.g., a location for projection, a size of projection) based on one or more properties of user(s) that are in an environment with the projector.

  • Patent number: 10841544
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatically selecting a target area to project content thereon. For example, a projection device receives content to be projected and content attributes of the content. The projection device also captures images of candidate areas and determines candidate area characteristics based on the captured images. The projection device generates a respective quality-of-projection indicator based on the content attributes and the candidate area characteristics. The projection device selects the candidate area with the highest quality-of-projection indicator as the target area on which the content is to be projected.

  • Patent number: 10782862
    Abstract: For certain medical images, it is important and/or required that a user view all of a medical image at full resolution so that minute, but important, indicia in the medical image are not missed. A computing systems monitor the portions of the medical image that are displayed on the display device, notates those portions that have been displayed at full resolution (or other user-defined display parameters), and provides the user with information indicating portions that have not been viewed at full resolution and/or provides information indicating for which images of a multiple image examination full pixel display has been accomplished. The process reduces the possibility of missing an abnormality in a medical image due to the viewer not viewing a portion of the image at full resolution or using other user defined display parameters.
