  • Patent number: 11500512
    Abstract: A tracking device tracks hand motion of a user. An output device, for example an augmented reality headset or a virtual reality headset, is configured for the output of virtual elements in augmented or virtual reality. A processor recognizes a first gesture when the user turns a palm of a first hand towards his face. The processor then displays a set of virtual elements above the palm of the first hand, the virtual elements being arranged above each other like a card deck, using the output device. In other words, the virtual elements are visualized as cards on the palm of the first hand. In most embodiments, the virtual elements are attached to at least one of the user's hands. The method provides a user interface for hand interaction with virtual elements, for example for viewing a content gallery or data exploration.

  • Patent number: 10356395
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for analyzing and manipulating images and video. According to particular embodiments, the spatial relationship between multiple images and video is analyzed together with location information data, for purposes of creating a representation referred to herein as a multi-view interactive digital media representation for presentation on a device. Once a multi-view interactive digital media representation is generated, a user can provide navigational inputs, such via tilting of the device, which alter the presentation state of the multi-view interactive digital media representation. The navigational inputs can be analyzed to determine metrics which indicate a user's interest in the multi-view interactive digital media representation.

  • Patent number: 10168834
    Abstract: Method and device for operating a touch screen are provided. The method includes that: a terminal obtains an actual sliding track of a touch operation of a user on a touch screen of the terminal (S102); the terminal replaces the actual sliding track with a pre-set sliding track corresponding to the actual sliding track (S104); and the terminal responds to a touch operation of the user according to the pre-set sliding track (S106). The present disclosure solves the problem in the prior art that a touch screen reports all false touches of a user over-sensitively and over-precisely, thereby facilitating a simple operation on the touch screen, reducing false and misinterpreted touches, and improving user experience.

  • Patent number: 9933885
    Abstract: A motor vehicle operating device is presented that comprises a presence-sensitive sensor device and is configured to provide, in a motor vehicle, an activated first application and at least one deactivated further application. A driver can control an activated application by means of the presence-sensitive sensor device and cannot control a deactivated application by means of the presence-sensitive sensor device. The motor vehicle operating device is configured to receive an input signal, which refers to a number of input objects with which the input is made at the presence-sensitive sensor device, wherein different numbers of input objects are assigned to the applications. OIf the input signal refers to a number of input objects assigned to the first application, control of the first application takes place and, if the input signal refers to a number of input objects assigned to the further application, activation of the further application takes place.

  • Patent number: 9671994
    Abstract: A method of updating a didactic information display includes providing information for display on a number of interactive information devices. The method includes receiving and aggregating data related to interactions from users of the number interactive information devices. The data includes a location and a timestamp associated with each of the interactions. Each of the interactions is related to a subset of the information displayed on one of the number of interactive information devices. The method includes determining a most relevant subset of the information for a plurality of sets of parameters and determining a current set of parameters from the plurality of sets of parameters. The method includes communicating a command to a passive display device located remotely from the number of interactive information devices. The command may cause the passive display device to display the most relevant subset of the information based on the current set of parameters.
