  • Patent number: 11762477
    Abstract: Sunshading louver control system and method based on gesture recognition are provided. Indoor images are collected in real time. Based on the indoor images, an action region of gesture motion is positioned and feature extraction is performed thereon to obtain hand motion parameters. The hand motion parameters are analyzed to obtain gesture information. The gesture information is compared with preset gesture information. When the preset gesture information contains the gesture information, corresponding adjustment is performed on a sunshading louver according to a preset operation logic corresponding to the gesture information. When the preset gesture information does not contain the gesture information, the gesture information is determined to be invalid.

  • Patent number: 11762534
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for simulating asset transfers (e.g., sweeps) using a user interface generated by various collections of display routines. A sweep management system may generate a graphical user interface (GUI) on a webpage to simulate sweeps. The GUI may include a list of entities rendered using a first collection of display routines and a graphical representation of some of the entities rendered using a second collection of display routines. The graphical representation may be rendered using a shared webpage object. Furthermore, callback functions are executed to perform operations based on user interactions. For example, callback functions are used to update the graphical representation after a user has dragged and dropped an entry from the list into the graphical representation.
