Patent number: 11216149Abstract: An electronic device includes a touchscreen display and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to present a dynamic user interface on the touchscreen display. The dynamic user interface includes a first input region forming a dial. The first input region is configured to receive user input related to a first viewing direction associated with a 360° video. The at least one processor is also configured to detect the user input. In addition, the at least one processor is configured to transmit the user input to a display device to control presentation of the 360° video on the display device. The dynamic user interface may further include a second input region, where the second input region is configured to receive second user input related to a second viewing direction associated with the 360° video.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Arun Rakesh Yoganandan, Yuchang Hu, Chang Long Zhu Jin, Kristen Kator

Patent number: 11209937Abstract: A hover touch controller device includes a touch sensor having a touch surface and a proximity sensor. The touch sensor provides two-dimensional position information on when and where a user's finger touches the touch surface. The proximity sensor provides three-dimensional position information on pre-touch events. The pre-touch events corresponding to the user's finger hovering over the touch surface within some maximum depth. The hover touch controller device further includes a processor. The processor determines from the three-dimensional information a hover point projected on the touch surface and determines from the two-dimensional information a touch point on the touch surface. The processor communicates the hover point and the contact point to a display device. This can include correcting for any perceived user interaction issues associated an offset between the hover point and the touch point.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Arun Rakesh Yoganandan, Jee Hoon Kim, Chang Long Zhu Jin

Patent number: 10969899Abstract: A hover touch controller device includes a touch sensor having a touch surface with a first aspect ratio and a proximity sensor. Information on when and where a user touches the touch surface is detected. Additionally, information on hover-input events is detected. The hover input events correspond to a user's finger hovering over the touch surface within some maximum depth. The hover touch device further includes a controller. The processor communicates three-dimensional spatial information to a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The GUI generates visualizations based on the hover events and the touch events on a display having an interactive surface with a second aspect ratio. The processor further corrects for any issues associated with supporting a variety of GUI designs. This can include correcting for a difference between the first aspect ratio and the second aspect ratio.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Arun Rakesh Yoganandan, Chang Long Zhu Jin

Patent number: 10852913Abstract: A controller includes a touch sensor and a proximity sensor. Information on when and where a user touches the surface of the touch sensor is detected. Additionally, information on pre-touch events is detecting. The pre-touch events correspond to a user's finger hovering over the touch sensor within some maximum depth. A display device generates visualizations based on the hover events and the touch events. This can include providing visual feedback in a hover mode where a user's finger is, relative to the touch sensor. Additionally, various forms of navigation information may be provided in the hover mode, as well as other control information.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2017Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Arun Rakesh Yoganandan, Stacie Hibino, Chang Long Zhu Jin
