  • Patent number: 9378412
    Abstract: Systems and methods for ergonomic measurement are disclosed. For example, in one embodiment a method for ergonomic measurement includes: receiving a first signal from an image sensor, the first signal comprising data associated with a user's orientation with respect to the image sensor. A second signal is received from a orientation sensor, the second signal comprising data associated with the image sensor's orientation with respect to gravity. An ergonomic measurement of the user is determined based at least in part on the first and second signals. Another embodiment includes a computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable code for executing such a method.

  • Patent number: 8913005
    Abstract: A display device can be used with an ergonomic sensor comprising an imaging device interfaced to processing hardware to obtain and analyze image data depicting a user of the display device. The ergonomic sensor can be preconfigured with data indicating ergonomic uses of the display device so that the image of the user can be analyzed with minimal or no user calibration or setup. Instead, the ergonomic sensor can analyze the image data to provide real-time feedback, such as warnings or suggestions when the user's behavior falls outside an ergonomic use range for the display device. In some implementations, the ergonomic sensor is integrated with the display device, though in other implementations a separate element or preexisting imaging device can be used.

  • Publication number: 20130057553
    Abstract: An electronic display is provided that can include any number of features. In some embodiments, the display includes sensors, such as a camera, configured to detect a user parameter of a user positioned before the display. The user parameter can be, for example, an age of the user or a distance of the user from the screen. The display can include a processor configured to adjust a font or icon size on the display based on the detected user parameter.

In some embodiments, the display includes sensors, such as a camera, configured to detect a user parameter of a user positioned before the display. The user parameter can be, for example, an age of the user, a distance of the user from the screen, a head angle of the user, a time the user has been positioned before the display, or an ambient light level. The display can include a processor configured to adjust a user preference or display an indicator to the user based on the detected user parameter.

  • Publication number: 20130050395
    Abstract: A mobile video-conferencing device includes a camera built into the device housing and configured to capture images of a user while viewing the display, including an infrared (IR) light source and IR sensitive image sensor for capturing images of the user under low-light or uneven light conditions, or both, to permit a face detection component to detect the user's face. A face recognition component is configured to associate a specific identity of a user to a detected face. An image processing component replaces face data of the detected face with face data stored in the memory in accordance with the specific identity of the user to enhance and transmit to a remote video conference participant an image of the detected face captured under low light or uneven light conditions, or both.
