Patent number: 10466657Abstract: A method and system for globally updating a plurality of learning implicit gesture control systems. Embodiments can comprise receiving, by a global server and from a plurality of learning implicit gesture control systems, a user data. The global server configured to analyze the user data and determine an applicable integration level, and the global server further able to communicate with the plurality of learning implicit gesture control systems. Modifying a global parameter when the global server determines the applicable integration level is a global integration level; and transmitting the modified global parameter to the plurality of learning implicit gesture control systems.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2014Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignees: Honda Motor Co., Ltd., EDGE 3 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Tarek A. El Dokor, Joshua King, Jordan Cluster, James E. Holmes

Patent number: 10073535Abstract: A user, such as the driver of a vehicle, to retrieve information related to a point of interest (POI) near the vehicle by pointing at the POI or performing some other gesture to identify the POI. Gesture recognition is performed on the gesture to generate a target region that includes the POI that the user identified. After generating the target region, information about the POI can be retrieved by querying a server-based POI service with the target region or by searching in a micromap that is stored locally. The retrieved POI information can then be provided to the user via a display and/or speaker in the vehicle. This process beneficially allows a user to rapidly identify and retrieve information about a POI near the vehicle without having to navigate a user interface by manipulating a touchscreen or physical buttons.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2016Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignees: Honda Motor Co., Ltd., EDGE 3 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Pedram Vaghefinazari, Stuart Masakazu Yamamoto, Tarek A. El Dokor, Jordan Cluster, James E. Holmes

Patent number: 9852332Abstract: A system for capturing image data for gestures from a passenger or a driver in a vehicle with a dynamic illumination level comprises a low-lux sensor equipped to capture image data in an environment with an illumination level below an illumination threshold, a high-lux sensor equipped to capture image data in the environment with the illumination level above the illumination threshold, and an object recognition module for activating the sensors. The object recognition module determines the illumination level of the environment and activates the low-lux sensor if the illumination level is below the illumination threshold. If the illumination level is above the threshold, the object recognition module activates the high-lux sensor.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2016Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignees: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD., EDGE 3 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Pedram Vaghefinazari, Stuart Masakazu Yamamoto, Ritchie Winson Huang, Josh Tyler King, Tarek El Dokor
