  • Patent number: 10141929
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by an electrode of a device, a signal from a user's body. The received signal is based on an electromagnetic interference signal generated by an object that is external to the device. The method further includes determining, using machine learning applied to the received signal, one or more of the following: an identity of the object, an interaction between the user and the object, or a context surrounding the device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10101869
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a first context data associated with a first touch event on a first device and accessing a second context data associated with a touch event on the first device. The touch event has been detected by a second device. The method further includes comparing the first context data with the second context data and determining, based on the comparison, whether the first touch event is the touch event detected by the second device.

  • Patent number: 10073578
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an electrode that is coupled to a body of a user and is configured to receive a signal from the body. The received signal is based on an electromagnetic interference signal generated by an object that is external to the apparatus. The apparatus further includes one or more processors coupled to the electrode. The processors are configured to detect, based on the signal received by the electrode, one or more of: an interaction between the user and the object, an identity of the object, or a context surrounding the apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9341659
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein use capacitive sensing to detect human interaction with living plants. A sensing system may utilize the natural conductive paths found in an organic plant to transmit an electrical signal between the plant and a user interacting with the plant. By directly contacting the plant or coming into proximity of the plant, the user may affect the electrical signal. That is, the electrical properties of the user (e.g., the capacitance of the human body) change a measured impedance curve associated with the electrical signal. Based on this change, the sensing system detects an interaction between the user and the plant and may inform a user interaction device to provide a feedback response to the user. For example, the feedback response may be an audio or video effect that is based on the type of user interaction such as whether the user touched the plant's leaf or stem.
