  • Patent number: 11841987
    Abstract: Machine learning systems and methods that learn glare, and thus determine gaze direction in a manner more resilient to the effects of glare on input images. The machine learning systems have an isolated representation of glare, e.g., information on the locations of glare points in an image, as an explicit input, in addition to the image itself. In this manner, the machine learning systems explicitly consider glare while making a determination of gaze direction, thus producing more accurate results for images containing glare.

  • Patent number: 11829547
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a touch key design method based on a touch screen, wherein a plastic part is placed on a touch screen, so that the touch screen is equally divided into a plurality of (such as 4×4) areas with the same size. In this way, the touch screen can be regarded as a plurality of (such as 4×4) matrix touch keys. When one of the touch keys is touched by hand, an MCU (a main control unit of a recording software controller) determines which touch key is pressed through the X and Y coordinate values returned by the touch screen, and then controls the corresponding functions. On the touch screen, not only the function name of the recording software corresponding to each touch key is displayed, but also the state of pressing or releasing the touch key and the state about whether the corresponding function on the recording software is activated or non-activated can be displayed in real time.
