  • Patent number: 11922473
    Abstract: Smart gesturing may facilitate smart shopping and other contactless experiences by enabling a user to perform a natural gesture toward one or more desired items with or while wearing a wearable or non-wearable electronic device. The electronic device may identify the smart gesture, and determine the one or more desired items are indicated by the smart gesture. The electronic device may identify the desired items by receiving location data of multiple items, determining a vector based on a first position a second position of the smart gesture, extending the vector to a location, and using the location data to determine which item or items correspond to the location. If more than one item is indicated by the smart gesture, the electronic device may enable selection of the items and, if at least one item is selected, provide information on the selected items or enable additional interaction with the selected items.

  • Patent number: 9058769
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for compensating ageing effects of pixel outputs displaying an image on a display device. The method involves displaying a first image on an active display area (6) on the display device (1) having a first plurality of pixels; displaying a second image on a sub-area (7) of the display device (1) and having a second plurality of pixels, the active display area (6) being larger than the sub-area (7) and the second image being smaller than the first image and having fewer pixels than the active display area (6); driving the pixels of the sub-area (7) with pixel values that are representative or indicative for the pixels in the activity display area (6); making optical measurements on light emitted from the sub-area (7) and generating optical measurement signals (11) therefrom, and; controlling the display of the image on the active display area (6) in accordance with the optical measurement signals (11) of the sub-area (7).
