Non-Interference Field-of-view Support Apparatus for a Panoramic Sensor

摘要

A support apparatus with adjustable mechanisms hold a spherical field-of-regard image and audio sensor assembly located at its distal end in front of a user's face such that the user's fine focus field-of-view of the foreground is not blocked by the mast or the sensor assembly. Automated mechanisms rotate and extend the armature and sensor assembly into position for face-to-face panoramic hands-free video teleconferencing, gaming, or logging. A portable wired or wireless host electronic device with a personal assistant application and sensor correlation system interactively communicates with support apparatus circuitry and servos, imagery, audio, eye and ROI tracking, neural, and user input and feedback systems to orchestrate responses to a local remote user. A sensor assembly includes a VLSIC multi-ROI processing system with integrated camera and display that hides the assembly and provides information to the user or onlooker.

主权项

1. A compensation system for a facial sensor that blocks the field-of-view of the user comprising:
a physiological sensing subsystem; a surrounding environment sensing subsystem; an automated sensor support subsystem; a command and control subsystem; said subsystems being configured as a user portable system with at least one a user mounted housing, electrical power source, and circuitry to communicatively connect said command and control subsystem with said sensing subsystems and said automated sensor support subsystem; said command and control subsystem driving said sensing subsystems and said automated support subsystem based on user commands and signatures derived from said sensing subsystems; said automated sensor support subsystem driving at least one armature connected to at least one sensor of said sensing subsystems to a position outside the fine focus field-of view of the user or to an alternate position.
