Patent number: 8878821Abstract: The present invention provides a method (500) executed on a processor for providing object information about an object in proximity to a display screen. The method includes the step of determining whether an at least first object is located within a proximal distance of the first surface of the display screen based on information provided by a depth camera (step 510). The method also includes the step of determining whether the at least first object has physically contacted a first surface of the display screen based on information provided by a physical contact sensing component (step 520). The information about (1) the proximal distance of the at least first object from the screen and (2) whether the at least first object has physically contacted the display surface of the screen to provide proximal event information and based on the information provided, it is determining whether the user interface should be modified (step 560).Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2010Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Ian N Robinson, Kar-Han Tan, Daniel George Gelb

Patent number: 8624954Abstract: Video conferencing methods and systems that enable shared content to be displayed in a separate window within a screen or in a separate display are described. In one aspect, a method for establishing a video conference with shared content using a computing device includes capturing images of a first participant through a screen using a camera. The screen is located between the first participant and the camera. The method also includes projecting images of a second participant on the screen to be viewed by the first participant using a projector, and displaying shared content separate from the images of the second participant. The shared content is to be presented in different format than the images of the second participant presented on the screen.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2011Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Developement Company, L.P.Inventors: Ian N.

Publication number: 20120221960Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a system and method for providing collaborative workspace viewing for portable electronic devices. According to one embodiment, a first portable electronic device operated by a first user and a second portable electronic device operating by a second user are connected over a network. Furthermore, an image captured by an imaging sensor associated with either the first portable device or the second portable electronic device is displayed on a user interface of both the first portable electronic device and the second portable electronic device. In addition, gesture input received from both the first user and the second user and relating to the captured image is displayed concurrently on both the first portable electronic device and the second portable electronic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2011Publication date: August 30, 2012Inventors: Ian N.

Patent number: 6654013Abstract: A graphics system that enhances shape perception. The presently preferred embodiment of the system utilizes the mathematical machinery of parametric texture maps. In general, parametric texture maps allow the graphics system to render surface features of a 3D object in a manner that is direction dependent but without the time consuming and expensive calculations involved in the evaluation of lighting equations on a per pixel basis. A parametric texture map holds a set of parameters that define a surface structure in a manner in which the appearance of the surface structure varies in response to a direction vector. The direction vector may be any user-defined vector including a light source vector or a half-angle vector. The parameters are those of a predetermined equation, the evaluation of which does not involve vector calculations. The equation may take any form including a polynomial equation or a non-polynomial equation. The graphic system renders a polygon with the surface structure using the equation.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2000Date of Patent: November 25, 2003Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP.Inventors: Thomas Malzbender, Daniel George Gelb, Hans Juergen Wolters
