Patent number: 11762476Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) system detects through a camera when a user's hand positions match a predefined position and in response thereto renders an overlay including a crown with which the user can interact to lock onto an object or scene. The system then detects and renders a centre indicator of the crown, tracking the user's hands, enables or disables actions depending on the position of the centre indicator relative to a neutral zone, responds to user hand movement to implement actions, and also detects unlock of the object or scene.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2020Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: INTERDIGITAL CE PATENT HOLDINGS, SASInventors: Sylvain Lelievre, Philippe Schmouker, Jean-Eudes Marvie

Patent number: 8196209Abstract: A method for controlling access to content by an Acquisition Point to Presentation Points in clusters in a domain. The AP receives from a PP an access content request comprising the PPs cluster identity and the PP's priority. The AP verifies if access is granted to a PP in the cluster and, if so, grants access to the requesting PP. If not, the AP verifies if access is granted to PPs in a maximum number of clusters. If not, the AP grants access. If the maximum is reached, the AP verifies if the requesting PP's priority is higher than the priority of every PP in another cluster. If not, access is denied; if so, the AP grants access to the requesting PP and denies access to the PPs in the cluster with the lowest priority values. An Acquisition Point is also claimed.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2006Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Thomson LicensingInventors: Sylvain Lelievre, Alain Durand, Oliver Courtay, Jean-Louis Diascorn
