Publication number: 20240143871Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to simplifying updating of a predictive model using clustering observed points. In particular, it relates to observing a set of points in 3D sensory space, determining surface normal directions from the points, clustering the points by their surface normal directions and adjacency, accessing a predictive model of a hand, refining positions of segments of the predictive model, matching the clusters of the points to the segments, and using the matched clusters to refine the positions of the matched segments. It also relates to distinguishing between alternative motions between two observed locations of a control object in a 3D sensory space by accessing first and second positions of a segment of a predictive model of a control object such that motion between the first position and the second position was at least partially occluded from observation in a 3D sensory space.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: ULTRAHAPTICS IP TWO LIMITEDInventors: David S. HOLZ, Kevin HOROWITZ, Raffi BEDIKIAN, Hua YANG

Publication number: 20240029356Abstract: Free space machine interface and control can be facilitated by predictive entities useful in interpreting a control object's position and/or motion (including objects having one or more articulating members, i.e., humans and/or animals and/or machines). Predictive entities can be driven using motion information captured using image information or the equivalents. Predictive information can be improved applying techniques for correlating with information from observations.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: ULTRAHAPTICS IP TWO LIMITEDInventors: Kevin A.

Patent number: 11823194Abstract: A biometric authentication platform (10) uses fault-tolerant distributed computing to determine if a supplied biometric sample and a sample stored in a registry are from the same person. A collection of reference samples is maintained in a distributed ledger (115) with immutable history of modifications. Results of matching are stored in a separate distributed ledger (125) providing an immutable history log. Coordinated use of both ledgers (115, 125) enable biometric authentication of registered users (140) in real time. Users (140) may interact with providers (150) and/or trusted circles of other users in order to recover user records from the user ledger (115).Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2019Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: REDROCK BIOMETRICS, INC.Inventors: Hua Yang, Leonid Kontsevich, Kevin Horowitz, Igor Lovyagin

Publication number: 20210240280Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to automatically (e.g., programmatically) initializing predictive information for tracking a complex control object (e.g., hand, hand and tool combination, robot end effector) based upon information about characteristics of the object determined from sets of collected observed information. Automated initialization techniques obviate the need for special and often bizarre start-up rituals (place your hands on the screen at the places indicated during a full moon, and so forth) required by conventional techniques. In implementations, systems can refine initial predictive information to reflect an observed condition based on comparison of the observed with an analysis of sets of collected observed information.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2021Publication date: August 5, 2021Applicant: Ultrahaptics IP Two LimitedInventor: Kevin A.

Publication number: 20210160076Abstract: The invention presents a biometric authentication system comprising: a template module and a key module that are independent of each other. The template module is used to store encrypted biometric templates, the key module is used to store the decryption keys. The system may further comprise a matching module that acquires the decryption key from the key module and the encrypted template from the template module, decrypts the template using the key, then matches the template to verify the identity. In this system, the encrypted template and decryption key are stored separately both logically and physically, and are only united momentarily during matching, then are immediately deleted. The system is highly secure and addresses the security vulnerabilities in the current banking and payment systems, both online and offline such as ATM machines.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2018Publication date: May 27, 2021Inventors: Hua YANG, Leonid KONTSEVICH, Kevin HOROWITZ
