  • Publication number: 20190073105
    Abstract: Systems and methods for motion-based scrolling of contents view on a display with a screen view that is smaller than the contents view are described. During an augmented tilt control mode, scrolling follows changes in a primary tilt direction aligned with the scrolling direction, while a secondary tilt along a direction perpendicular to the scrolling direction is used to modify at least one scrolling control parameter. The scrolling control may follow a Proportional Scroll mode, where the primary tilt directly controls the screen view position over the contents view, or follow a Dynamic Scroll mode, where the primary tilt controls the scrolling speed. In some implementations, the scroll mode is determined automatically based on the magnification of the contents view. A predefined gestured in the secondary tilt may temporarily override the scroll mode selection.

    Abstract: A device displays a first page of a set of related content on the display. While displaying the first page on the display, the device detects an operation action performed by a user for switching from the first page to a second page of the set of related content. In response to detecting the operation action performed by the user: the device slides the first page of the set of related content in a first direction off the display, the device slides additional information that is distinct from the second page of the set of related content onto the display in the first direction, while the first page is sliding off the display, and the device displays the second page of the set of related content after at least a portion of the additional information is displayed on the display for at least a preset threshold amount of time.

    Abstract: A method for contextual pressure-sensing input, includes determining context of a document being displayed to a user by a display of a user device. The display includes a pressure-sensing input module for detecting touch inputs. The method includes determining engagement level that indicates an amount of engagement of the user with the document. The method includes determining, based on the engagement level and on the context, a pressure input requirement for the document. The pressure input requirement indicates an amount of pressure needed to verify acknowledgement of the document by the user. The method also includes determining whether a user touch input detected at the display matches the pressure input requirement.

    Abstract: Computing devices, head-mounted display devices and methods for processing spatial input signals from a pointing device are disclosed. In one example, a pointer is displayed within a desktop window that represents an operating system shell generated by a computing device. The desktop window and the pointer are displayed via a head-mounted display device within a three-dimensional environment. Spatial input signals are received from the pointing device and are translated into two-dimensional motion of the pointer within the desktop window. Based on determining that a location of the pointer moves outside the desktop window, the spatial input signals are translated into three-dimensional motion of the pointer within the three-dimensional environment displayed via the head-mounted display device.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed using a rotatable three-dimensional object providing visual user information on a display. For one example, a data processing system includes a display, a memory, and a processor. The memory stores one or more types of information related to a user. The processor is coupled to the display and memory, and is configured to generate a rotatable three-dimensional object visually representing one or more types of user information on the display. For one example, the display can be a coast-to-coast display for an electric or non-electric vehicle. The coast-to-coast display can include a plurality of display areas and the rotatable three-dimensional object is displayed in at least one of the display areas. The rotatable three-dimensional object can be a polyhedron including a plurality of faces wherein each type of user information corresponds to a face of the polyhedron.

  • Publication number: 20190073112
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to distinguishing meaningful gestures from proximate non-meaningful gestures in a three-dimensional (3D) sensory space. In particular, it relates to calculating spatial trajectories of different gestures and determining a dominant gesture based on magnitudes of the spatial trajectories. The technology disclosed also relates to uniformly responding to gestural inputs from a user irrespective of a position of the user. In particular, it relates to automatically adapting a responsiveness scale between gestures in a physical space and resulting responses in a gestural interface by automatically proportioning on-screen responsiveness to scaled movement distances of gestures in the physical space, user spacing with the 3D sensory space, or virtual object density in the gestural interface.
