Patent number: 11340705Abstract: Implementations provided herein relate to correlating available input gestures to recently created application functions, and adapting available input gestures, and/or user-created input gestures, to be correlated with existing application functions. Available input gestures (e.g., a hand wave) can be those that can be readily performed upon setup of a computing device. When a user installs an application that is not initially configured to handle the available input gestures, the available input gestures can be correlated to certain functions of the application. Furthermore, a user can create new gestures for application actions and/or modify existing gestures according to their own preferences and/or physical capabilities. When multiple users elect to modify an existing gesture in the same way, the modification can be made universal, with permission from the users, in order to eliminate latency when subsequently adapting to preferences of other users.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Ruxandra Davies, Lisa Takehana

Patent number: 11275240Abstract: Image light that travels between opposed parallel surfaces (100a, 100b) of the light guide (10) while being reflected by the opposed parallel surfaces is partially reflected by the outgoing-side reflection surfaces (102a, 102b) of a beam splitter. The image light took out from the light guide (10) is partially reflected by the two combiners (14, 15) and advances towards eyes of a user (E). The distance D of the combiners (14, 15) is set to be equal to or larger than A1/(2 cos ?·tan ?) and equal to or smaller than A2/(2 cos ?·tan ?), where ? is an incident angle ? of the image light to the combiner (14, 15), A1 is a light flux width of the image light reflected by one outgoing-side reflection surface, and A2 is a light flux width of the image light emitted from all of the outgoing-side reflection surfaces. This makes it possible to reduce the overlapping of images formed when viewed from the user, avoid the generation of partial image omission, and improve visibility.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2018Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Shimadzu CorporationInventor: Masato Tanaka
