  • Publication number: 20140295393
    Abstract: An interactive rehabilitation method for movement of upper and lower extremities is disclosed. An identification label of an extracted image is detected to provide an operating position of an image of an extremity. A movement mode for a target image is determined according to the identification label and the target image is displayed in a scene. It is determined whether identification labels corresponding to movement of an extremity of the target image are being continuously obtained, and, if so, the performance of the movement of the extremity is led based on operational guidance. A feedback operation is provided according to the movement of the extremity, preset movement paths and velocities, and targeted positions of the target image. It is determined whether the target image has been moved to the preset targeted positions, and, if so, the performance of the movement of the extremity is graded.

  • Patent number: 7582825
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for keyboard instrument learning are disclosed. The learning device comprises: a data access/storage device, for storing musical compositions and fingerings; an image signal output device for outputting image signals; a processing unit; and an imaging unit, capable of capturing an image of fingers fitted with marking units in respective and an image of surface where the fingers are placed. When the fingers fitted with the marking units are placed on an actual keyboard, the processing unit is enabled to compare the i,age captured by the imaging unit with a musical composition program so as to generate a control signal accordingly while using the control signal to issue an output signal.

  • Publication number: 20090019990
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for keyboard instrument learning are disclosed. The learning device comprises: a data access/storage device, for storing musical compositions and fingerings; and a image signal output device, capable of accessing any of those musical compositions and fingerings stored in the data access/storage device and thus outputting image signal accordingly; wherein, the data access/storage device is further comprised of: a processing unit; and an imaging unit, electrically connected to the processing unit, capable of capturing an image of fingers as the fingers are fitted with marking units in respective and an image of a surface where the fingers are placed as well.
