Patent number: 9921644Abstract: A non-linear user interface display presented at a desktop conforms to dimensions of a user detected by a depth camera, such as by presenting the user interface along an arc having a radius determined from a reach of the user detected by the depth camera. Windows presented in the arc vary in size based upon their position relative to a user focus, such as by detecting a user gaze direction or by comparing position to a central display mat. User gestures control presentation of visual images in the arc, such rotating visual image windows in a circular manner around the arc radius and to different orientations in the arc relative to the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2015Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Christophe Daguet, Roman J. Pacheco, Mark W. Welker, Abu S. Sanaullah, Edward L. Boyd, Michiel Sebastiaan Emanuel Petrus Knoppert, Mark R. Ligameri, Daniel Acevedo, Rocco Ancona

Patent number: 7948834Abstract: A watch that advantageously allows an athlete, such as a runner, to conveniently and instantly calculate a pace at which a distance was traveled. The watch includes a chronographic process and a pace calculation process. In order to determine a pace, the athlete enters the travel distance into the pace calculation process. The athlete then initiates a count by the chronographic process when he or she starts traveling the designated distance. When the athlete finishes traveling the designated distance, he or she stops the count, so that the chronographic process measures the total elapsed time required to travel the designated distance. The pace calculation process then obtains the total elapsed time from the chronographic process, and divides the designated travel distance by the total elapsed time to calculate the pace at which the distance was traveled.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2010Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Allan M. Schrock, Edward L. Boyd
