Abstract
A gesture and voice-controlled interface device comprising one or a plurality of gesture sensors for sensing gestures of a user; one or a plurality of audio sensors for sensing sounds made by the user; and a processor configured to obtain one or a plurality of sensed gestures from said one or a plurality of gesture sensors and to obtain one or a plurality of sensed sounds from said one or a plurality of audio sensors, to analyze the sensed gesture and sensed sounds to identify an input from the user, and to generate an output signal corresponding to the input to a controlled device.
Core Innovation
A gesture-controlled interface device obtains one or a plurality of sensed gestures from one or a plurality of gesture sensors and analyzes the one or a plurality of sensed gestures. The device generates an output signal corresponding to the input to a controlled device and uses gesture information to drive the output signal generation.
The device identifies an initiating cue in the sensed gestures and extracts a first measured gesture value and a second measured gesture value from the sensed gestures. The initiating cue provides a basis for control, while the first and second measured gesture values provide a basis for determining how the output signal is formed.
The initiating cue and the extraction of gesture values are used together so that an output signal corresponds to the input to a controlled device. The approach is further characterized by mapping the measured gesture values to output using mathematical relations, including ratio and arithmetic operations.
Claims Coverage
The independent claim coverage comprises two independent claims, a device claim and a method claim. Across both independent claims, the core inventive framework includes gesture sensing and analysis, identification of an initiating cue, extraction of first and second measured gesture values, and generating an output signal for a controlled device based on those values.
Gesture sensing, analysis, and output signaling for a controlled device
A processor obtains one or a plurality of sensed gestures from one or a plurality of gesture sensors, analyzes the one or a plurality of sensed gestures, and generates an output signal corresponding to the input to a controlled device.
Initiating cue identification within sensed gestures
The processor identifies an initiating cue in the one or a plurality of sensed gestures and uses the initiating cue within the output-signal generation.
First and second measured gesture value extraction for output generation
The processor extracts a first measured gesture value and a second measured gesture value from the one or a plurality of sensed gestures, and the output signal is generated based on the identified first measured gesture value and the identified second measured gesture value.
Mathematical relation between first and second measured gesture values
An output value sent to the controlled device is determined using a mathematical relationship between a first measured parameter and a second measured parameter.
Mathematical relation selected from ratio and arithmetic operations
The mathematical relation is selected from ratio, addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.
The independent claims cover a gesture-controlled interface device and corresponding method in which an initiating cue is identified from sensed gestures and two measured gesture values are extracted; an output signal for a controlled device is then generated based on the first and second measured gesture values, with dependent refinements specifying output computation via a mathematical relationship including ratio and arithmetic operations.
