Patents by Inventor Vivi Brunner

Vivi Brunner has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10303417
    Abstract: Various of the disclosed embodiments present depth-based user interaction systems. By anticipating various installation constraints and factors into the interface's design, various of the disclosed embodiments facilitate benefits such as complementary depth fields of view and display orientation flexibility. Some embodiments include a frame housing for the depth sensors. Within the housing, depth sensors may be affixed to a mount, such that each sensor's field of view is at a disparate angle. These disparate angles may facilitate gesture recognitions that might otherwise be difficult or impossible to achieve. When mounted in connection with a modular unit, the housing may provide a versatile means for integrating multiple module units into a composite interface.

  • Patent number: 10303259
    Abstract: Various of the disclosed embodiments present depth-based user interaction systems facilitating natural and immersive user interactions. Particularly, various embodiments integrate immersive visual presentations with natural and fluid gesture motions. This integration facilitates more rapid user adoption and more precise user interactions. Some embodiments may take advantage of the particular form factors disclosed herein to accommodate user interactions. For example, dual depth sensor arrangements in a housing atop the interface's display may facilitate depth fields of view accommodating more natural gesture recognition than may be otherwise possible. In some embodiments, these gestures may be organized into a framework for universal control of the interface by the user and for application-specific control of the interface by the user.
