  • Human interaction system based upon real-time intention detection
    Patent number: 9081413
    Abstract: A system for human interaction based upon intention detection. The system includes a sensor for providing information relating to a posture of a person detected by the sensor, a processor, and a display device. The processor is configured to receive the information from the sensor and process the received information in order to determine if an event occurred. This processing includes determining whether the posture of the person indicates a particular intention, such as attempting to take a photo. If the event occurred, the processor is configured to provide an interaction with the person via the display device such as displaying a message or the address of a web site.

  • AUGMENTED REALITY GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR NETWORK CONTROLLED LIGHTING SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20150028746
    Abstract: A mobile device having an augmented reality user interface for use in controlling networked light modules. The mobile device can detect via a camera a light module and display an identification of the light module on a user interface such as a touch screen. A user can enter a command via the user interface such as a desired intensity or color for the light module. In response, the mobile device transmits a signal to the light module in order to control the operation of the module based upon the command.
