  • Method and finger-worn device for controlling an external computer
    Patent number: 11048328
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a computer program for wireless interactions with an external computer with a finger-worn device configured to acquire and transmit position data of at least one finger relative to an object surface to an external computer, wherein the method comprises the steps of: acquiring (300, 301) sensor data (201, 202) from a first sensor system (9) and a second sensor system (10) comprised in the device (1); estimating (302) a position and/or an orientation of at least one finger (2) with respect to an object surface (7) from the sensor data (201, 202), wherein the estimation (302) of the position and/or the orientation of the at least one finger (2) with respect to the object surface (7) is performed by a machine learning method (100) executed on a processor (4) comprised by the device (1); wirelessly transmitting (304) position data (203) comprising the estimated position and/or orientation of the at least one finger (2) with respect to the subject surface (7) to an external
