  • Publication number: 20140082559
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a magnified control area for facilitating user input. According to one embodiment, a gesture input from a user operating the computing system is detected and an on-screen location of the gesture input is determined. Furthermore, a positional indicator corresponding to the determined on-screen location of the gesture input is displayed to the user, while a control area is presented around the positional indicator. Moreover, movement of the positional indicator along a boundary of the control area causes the control area to move correspondingly so as to keep the positional indicator within the boundary of the control area.

  • Publication number: 20140075230
    Abstract: Implementations disclosed herein relate to waking an electronic device 107. In one embodiment, an electronic device 107 detects a person within a particular proximity of the electronic device 107 and wakes the electronic device 107 while suppressing an outward indication of the operation of the electronic device 107. The electronic device 107 may then detect a person intending to use the electronic device 107 and therefore exhibit the outward indication of the operation of the electronic device 107.

  • Patent number: 8593434
    Abstract: A display system (AP1) has plural cameras (11L an d11R) having fields of view (31L and 31R) that extend more orthogonal to than parallel to a display screen (21) for viewing distal objects. Reflectors (33L and 33R) redirect touchscreen light (36) from a direction along the display screen to a direction toward the cameras. A video processor (19) locates a 2D position relative to the display screen of an object proximate to the display screen as a function of images generated by the cameras in response to the touchscreen light.
