Publication number: 20200264760Abstract: A method comprises receiving a signal containing an environmental cue; correlating the environmental cue to a user interface control element; and generating a user interface control command based on the environmental cue, A device may be controlled by receiving a visual image, processing the image to identify a visual cue, correlating the visual cue with a user interface control, and controlling the device using the user interface control. The visual image may be received from a camera that is part of an automobile, and the user interface control may include a control for a radio to tune to a radio station; a speed control for controlling a speed of the automobile corresponding to a speed sign visual cue; or a navigation system control for controlling a navigation system based on traffic signs. Other variations include an apparatus and computer-readable media including instructions for performing the methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2020Publication date: August 20, 2020Applicant: CONVERSANT WIRELESS LICENSING S.A.R.L.Inventors: Martin BUECKER, Maxim LOBKO, Marc HOFFMANN, Edmund COERSMEIER

Publication number: 20190229526Abstract: A device for coupling a control unit with a voltage supply. An electrical connection between the voltage supply and the electrical control unit may be opened/closed with a switching element. An electrical resistor, which allows for a limited current flow from the voltage supply to the electrical control unit even when the switching element is open, is parallel to the switching element. Thus, an electrical energy store, such as a capacitor or a similar device, which is to buffer the input voltage at the electrical control unit, is chargeable even when the switching element is open. This is to avoid adverse effects caused by the charging of a capacitor at the input of the control unit when the switching element is closed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2017Publication date: July 25, 2019Inventors: Alexander Hey, Fabian Wingert, Martin Buecker, Oda Limbach, Simon Riedel, Stefan Hoess, Thomas Saile, Volker Weeber

Publication number: 20170351411Abstract: A method comprises receiving a signal containing an environmental cue; correlating the environmental cue to a user interface control element; and generating a user interface control command based on the environmental cue. A device may be controlled by receiving a visual image, processing the image to identify a visual cue, correlating the visual cue with a user interface control, and controlling the device using the user interface control. The visual image may be received from a camera that is part of an automobile, and the user interface control may include a control for a radio to tune to a radio station; a speed control for controlling a speed of the automobile corresponding to a speed sign visual cue; or a navigation system control for controlling a navigation system based on traffic signs. Other variations include an apparatus and computer-readable media including instructions for performing the methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2017Publication date: December 7, 2017Inventors: Martin BUECKER, Maxim LOBKO, Marc HOFFMANN, Edmund COERSMEIER

Publication number: 20090141019Abstract: 3D technologies have facilitated tremendous growth in terms of allowing real-world browsing using compositions of satellite or aerial images or static 3D models of real-world objects. Prior art approaches, however, are limited with respect to real-time capabilities. This invention responds to the noted deficiencies by providing a novel method, apparatus, and system for providing 4D (e.g., 3D+real-time) based approaches to allow users to view images or models of objects in real-time, offering users an opportunity to engage, access and interact with the objects depicted in real-time. The interaction may entail providing a user instruction as to how to complete a given task responsive to an identified problem. One or more objects may connect with a mobile/remote terminal based on application requirements and the like to facilitate such interaction and/or instruction.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2007Publication date: June 4, 2009Applicant: NOKIA CORPORATIONInventors: Maxim Lobko, Marc Hoffmann, Martin Buecker, Edmund Coersmeier
