  • Patent number: 10885361
    Abstract: Method for identifying a person through an electrocardiogram, ECG, waveform, said method comprising: capturing ECG signals from a sample population including the person to be identified; computing sample population ECG distances ST, RT and QT from the captured ECG signals; training a computer classification model on the computed sample population ECG distances, provided that no other ECG distances are used; capturing an ECG signal from the person to be identified; computing the person's ECG distances ST, RT and QT from the person's captured ECG signal; using the classification model with the person's computed ECG distances to identify the person to be identified within the sample population. Device for identifying a person through an electrocardiogram, ECG, waveform, said device comprising means for carrying out said method.

  • Patent number: 9480910
    Abstract: The present invention refers to an embodied Robot videogame apparatus that receives input through the (human) user's physical actions (full body actions), contact and physiological signals (Bio-signals). The apparatus has principal components: led/sound sensor eye with a video camera; mechanical lever; rotation sensor; rubber torso; solar battery; sensor leds; heart rate and galvanic skin response sensor; multi-touch computer display, with a I/O board v2.0 Bluetooth wireless connection; multiplayer button; microphone; intensity sensor; feet support; suspensions; rubber pneumatic wheels; accelerometer sensor; plastic leveler sensor; wireless Bluetooth digitizers; Velcro strips; and GPS. The apparatus includes a series of electronic sensor that detects the user's input physical actions, contact and physiological signals in real-time. The output result is visualized on a multi-touch computer display. The player's real-time actions are translated in virtual actions in the software game scenarios (e.g.

  • Patent number: 9372534
    Abstract: The invention is an interactive wearable video game (1), in which one or more players interact with physical objects through physical actions/contact/physiological signals to control a video game. The apparatus includes a series of wireless electronic sensors (7 to 16) to be placed in the user's body/surrounding environment, detecting the user's input actions in real time—output result is visualized on a binocular see-through display glasses system (2). The invention allows for the players to move around by connecting with the physical space, and to use their full bodies to control the game, exercise and share interactions. It allows for the connection between both virtual and physical realities—mixed reality concept by augmenting the user's perceptions among the surrounding environment. Users can either communicate from maximum physical proximity through a Web connection. The invention is rechargeable by converting produced solar energy into electric energy.
