Publication number: 20130293686Abstract: A mobile device generates a 3D reconstruction of a human subject by capturing a video frame sequence of the human subject. A pre-generated marker, which may be reticle or a 3D model of a humanoid, is displayed on the display while capturing the video frame sequence. The human subject is also displayed and the mobile device is held to cause the human subject to be displayed coincidently with the pre-generated marker. The video frame sequence that is captured while the mobile device is held to cause the human subject to be displayed coincidently with the pre-generated marker is used to generate a 3D reconstruction of the human subject, which may then be stored and transmitted to a remote server if desired. Sensors may be used to determine the pose of the mobile device with respect to the human subject, which may then be used to adjust the pre-generated marker appropriately.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2012Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Anthony T. Blow, James Y. Wilson, David G. Heil, Andrei Dumitrescu

Patent number: 7113173Abstract: A pen-based portable computer system, and more particularly, to a computer system which includes a host computer or a server that is adapted to interface with one or more wireless interface devices over a radio link. The wireless interface devices are pen-based devices which include a digitizer panel and are adapted to operate on a mouse mode, as well as a pen mode. In a mouse mode, pen down events are translated into mouse data and transmitted over the radio link to the remote server or host computer. In a pen mode, pen down events in an ink field are formulated as pen data. In accordance with an important aspect of the present invention, the wireless interface device includes a local handwriting recognition system for translating handwriting into characters which are then transmitted to the remote server or host computer over a radio link for processing.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 1997Date of Patent: September 26, 2006Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Depeng Bi, Daniel A.

Patent number: 6683605Abstract: A wireless interface device for interfacing with a host computer connected in either a wired or wireless local area network (LAN). The wireless interface device includes a display that mirrors whatever is being displayed on the host computer to which it is connected. In order to reduce unnecessary LAN traffic, any screen savers running on the host computer are automatically disabled when a radio connection is made between the host computer and the wireless interface device. When the wireless interface device is disconnected from the host computer, the screen saver running on the host computer is automatically re-enabled.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1995Date of Patent: January 27, 2004Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Depeng Bi, S.

Patent number: 6260084Abstract: A modem and associated method with both an RS-232 interface and a USB interface connects to a host. The modem detects which of the two interfaces is connected to the host and determines an appropriate data path. For connections to the USB interface, data is routed through a USB processor and over a serial link to the modem processor responsible for modem communications and the transfer of modem data to the POTS. The serial link between the USB processor and the modem processor is used to transfer both modem data and processor communications. A plurality of control lines are used to indicate the type of data being transferred over the serial link. For RS-232 connections, the modem data is transferred to the modem processor. Thus, one modem device may be used for either USB or RS-232 connections.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1998Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: 3Com CorporationInventors: James Y. Wilson, Edward B.
