The processor implements a detection module, a recognition module, and a user experience module, and is configured to capture an image of a real-world scene, and detect one or more regions of interest in the image. The recognition system is configured to generate at least one part-image from the captured image, each part image including at least one of the one or more detected regions of interest, and feed the generated part-image to the recognition module. The recognition system is configured to recognize a real-world toy object in the part-image, the real-world toy object comprising at least one toy construction element, and provide a digital representation of the recognized real-world toy object.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2023Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: LEGO A/SInventors: Marko Velic, Karsten Østergaard Noe, Jesper Mosegaard, Brian Bunch Christensen, Jens Rimestad

Patent number: 12045421Abstract: A detection device includes: optical sensors; switching elements, gate lines, and signal lines corresponding to the optical sensors; a detection circuit that is supplied with signals from the optical sensors through the signal lines; and a signal line selection circuit for switching a coupling state between the signal lines and the detection circuit. A drive signal is supplied to the gate lines row by row to bring the switching elements belonging to a predetermined row into a coupled state. The signal line selection circuit couples the signal lines to the detection circuit column by column in a predetermined order in a reading period of the predetermined row. A reset potential is supplied to the optical sensors and the signal lines belonging to the predetermined row after completion of the reading period of the predetermined row and before start of the reading period of a row next to the predetermined row.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2023Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: Japan Display Inc.Inventors: Hirofumi Kato, Ayato Kitamura

Patent number: 12045420Abstract: A touch sensitive apparatus comprises a top plate configured such that light from the one or more light sources is transmitted within the top plate with total internal reflection; and a base plate within which, light is transmissible. The base plate comprises a plurality of base plate elements optically separated from each other. The top plate and the base plate are configured such that if an external body touches a first surface of the top plate, then light is coupled from a second surface of the top plate into an underlying base plate element for transmission within that base plate element. Each base plate element has one or more detectors for detecting light transmitted within that base plate element. A processor determines information from the detectors relating to touching of the first surface of the top plate. An associated method is also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2020Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: Uniphy LimitedInventor: David Lomas
