  • Patent number: 8749474
    Abstract: The invention relates to an LCD circuit and a method for triggering at least one pixel (3) of a liquid crystal display (LCD) in order to optionally apply a voltage (V) between a first and a second electrode (1, 2), between which a layer (4) of liquid crystals is arranged. The pixel (3) switches into a non-transparent state when a voltage (V) is applied whose value is greater than or equal to the value of a threshold voltage (VD, VD?) between the electrodes (1, 2), a sensor voltage (VS) which changes across a sensor period (T) being applied to at least one of the electrodes (1; 1, 2) as said voltage (V) or part of said voltage (V) in order to generate a sensor signal for detecting an object (5) approaching the pixel (3).

  • Publication number: 20080147660
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for arranging object data in electronic maps. The inventive method is characterized in that a data area (D) having the coordinate data of a spatial area is provided, object data regarding objects (Pi) are associated with the coordinate data, and clustering is carried out in order to reduce the data volume. For the purpose of clustering, various, spatially independent objects (Pi) are combined to give a cluster object (C1, C2, . . . ).

  • Patent number: 7286706
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a device for detecting and representing movements. The device includes a position sensor for detecting the current position of a reference point of the device, a data processor for processing the position data detected by the position sensor and a projector for projecting on a surface an image projection of the detected and processed position data. The data processor takes into account a modification in the current position of the reference point such that the projection image on the surface remains substantially stable concerning location and position.

  • Publication number: 20040141008
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a data processing system via a user interface on which user interface image objects can be displayed in a plurality of areas. The user interface image object call is associated with the execution of a defined function of the data processing system. The inventive method is further characterized in that the areas share part of the user interface. The areas are displayed in different sizes on the user interface depending on the choice made by the data processing system's user. When a certain area is activated, it is displayed in a preferred position of the user interface while the other areas are grouped around the activated area.
