Patent number: 9836201Abstract: A user interface method, including presenting by a computer executing a user interface, multiple interactive items on a display. A first sequence of images is captured indicating a position in space of a hand of a user in proximity to the display, and responsively to the position, one of the interactive items is associated with the hand. After associating the item, a second sequence of images is captured indicating a movement of the hand, and responsively to the movement, a size of the one of the items is changed on the display.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2014Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Martin Frey, Marcus Hauer, Dario Buzzini, Philipp Schaefer, Adi Berenson, Micha Galor, Nili Metuki, Alexander Shpunt

Patent number: 9737813Abstract: A method for training a semantic ability of a subject, the method being performed by a computer the method comprising: a. Displaying a linguistic task to the subject on a display of the computer, said linguistic task comprising providing one or more words, wherein said linguistic task is directed to training the subject in a specific semantic skill or skills; b. Providing a plurality of linguistic clues to the subject, through the display of the computer, said plurality of linguistic clues comprising content capable of activating concepts related to said one or more words but wherein said content does not include said one or more words or synonyms thereof, wherein said linguistic clues are selected such that the subject integrates said plurality of linguistic clues to solve said linguistic task, wherein said linguistic clue comprises an image, audio, video, text or a combination thereof; c. Receiving a solution to said linguistic task by the subject through the computer; and d.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2013Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Inventor: Nili Metuki

Patent number: 9459758Abstract: A method includes presenting, on a display coupled to a computer, an image of a keyboard comprising multiple keys, and receiving a sequence of three-dimensional (3D) maps including a hand of a user positioned in proximity to the display. An initial portion of the sequence of 3D maps is processed to detect a transverse gesture performed by a hand of a user positioned in proximity to the display, and a cursor is presented on the display at a position indicated by the transverse gesture. While presenting the cursor in proximity to the one of the multiple keys, one of the multiple keys is selected upon detecting a grab gesture followed by a pull gesture followed by a release gesture in a subsequent portion of the sequence of 3D maps.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2013Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Adi Berenson, Micha Galor, Jonathan Pokrass, Ran Shani, Daniel Shein, Eran Weissenstern, Martin Frey, Amir Hoffnung, Nili Metuki

Patent number: 9377865Abstract: A method includes arranging, by a computer, multiple interactive objects as a hierarchical data structure, each node of the hierarchical data structure associated with a respective one of the multiple interactive objects, and presenting, on a display coupled to the computer, a first subset of the multiple interactive objects that are associated with one or more child nodes of one of the multiple interactive objects. A sequence of three-dimensional (3D) maps including at least part of a hand of a user positioned in proximity to the display is received, and the hand performing a transverse gesture followed by a grab gesture followed by a longitudinal gesture followed by an execute gesture is identified in the sequence of three-dimensional (3D) maps, and an operation associated with the selected object is accordingly performed.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2013Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Adi Berenson, Dana Cohen, Micha Galor, Jonathan Pokrass, Ran Shani, Daniel Shein, Orlee Tal, Arnon Yaari, Eran Weissenstern, Martin Frey, Amir Hoffnung, Nili Metuki, Marcus Hauer
