Patent number: 11064888Abstract: A wearable device automatically identifies an activity in which a user of the device is engaged while wearing the device. The wearable device receives motion data of the user collected during the activity and determines a magnitude and a frequency of the motion data. Based on the magnitude and frequency of the motion data, the wearable device identifies the activity in which the user is engaged.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Steven P. Szabados, Andrew A. Stirn, Timothy Melano, Nathan R. Kowahl, Christopher Verplaetse, Colt Stander

Publication number: 20150277572Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for a display on a device based on context for the device. Motion data along two axes associated with the device is received and the motion data indicates a context for the device such as a position of a body part on which the device is worn. Additionally time points associated with the motion data are received. The display is modified if the motion data along two axes has values within predetermined ranges.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2013Publication date: October 1, 2015Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Christopher Verplaetse, Steven Patrick Szabados, Marco Kenneth Della Torre

Patent number: 6970095Abstract: A theft detection system includes an accelerometer attachable to an object, the accelerometer providing an acceleration signal in response to movement of the object; an alarm mechanism for providing a signal in response to movement of the object; and for preventing false alarms, a filter programmed to determine the frequency of the acceleration signal and to provide an output to activate the alarm mechanism only when the frequency of the acceleration signal meets a predetermined criteria.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2000Date of Patent: November 29, 2005Assignee: Caveo Technology, LLCInventors: W. David Lee, Martin Wells, Christopher Verplaetse, Christopher Turner

Patent number: 6861946Abstract: A motion-based input system including a motion sensor coupled to a device. The motion sensor provides a motion signal corresponding to the movement of the device. The system further includes a processor responsive to the motion signal and configured to distinguish between a tap command and a position command and provides, in response to a tap command, one or more actions, and in response to a position command, one or more different actions to control and operate the device.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2002Date of Patent: March 1, 2005Assignee: Caveo Technology LLC.Inventors: Christopher Verplaetse, W. David Lee, Thomas P. Evans, Jerry Nicholas Laneman

Patent number: 6721738Abstract: A motion password control system including a motion sensor responsive to motion of a device and providing a signal corresponding to movement of the device; a database including stored data values corresponding to predetermined motion of the device; and an electronic circuit, responsive to the motion sensor, configured to compare the motion sensor signal with the stored database values, and, in response, to provide an output signal for performing at least one action of a preselected set of actions when the comparison reveals that the device has moved in a way which corresponds to the stored data values.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2001Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignee: Gaveo Technology, LLC.Inventors: Christopher Verplaetse, Christopher Turner, W. David Lee, Martin Wells

Publication number: 20030014660Abstract: A security system including a removable circuit card having an unauthorized movement detection subsystem including a motion sensor, a processor responsive to the motion sensor for detecting whether motion sensed thereby is indicative of unauthorized movement and a response circuit activated by the processor in response to unauthorized movement. The security system also includes a power source integrated with the circuit card for powering the unauthorized movement detection subsystem in the event of a lack of available external power including removal of the circuit card.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2002Publication date: January 16, 2003Inventors: Christopher Verplaetse, W.

Publication number: 20020171546Abstract: A universal, customizable computer security system including a set of security input signals each relating to a possible security event and a rules engine with a universal software interface responsive to the security input signals. The rules engine is configurable to perform one or more security actions in response to each security input signal. The rules engine further includes a user interface program to allow a user to select one or more customized security actions for a combination of one or more chosen security input signals, and a universal software output interface responsive to the selected security actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2002Publication date: November 21, 2002Inventors: Thomas P. Evans, W. David Lee, C. Gail Greenwald, Christopher Verplaetse

Patent number: 5875257Abstract: Apparatus for continuous sensing of hand and arm gestures comprises hand-held means for continuously sensing at least tempo and emphasis. These sensed parameters are represented quantitatively, and transduced by appropriate circuitry into electrical signals indicative of the parameter quantities. The signals may be used to control the performance of a musical composition (or the evolution of some other dynamic system), or may instead convey information. The signals may, for example, be provided to an interpreter that dynamically infers control commands from the gestures on a real-time basis in accordance with the generally accepted canon of musical conducting, directing the controlled system in accordance therewith. The invention may also sense one or more additional conducting parameters such as the speed and/or velocity, direction (i.e.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 1997Date of Patent: February 23, 1999Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Teresa Marrin, Joseph Paradiso, Tod Machover, Christopher Verplaetse, Margaret Orth
