Intraoral methods and apparatus for controlling services and devices

摘要

Methods and systems are disclosed that, in some aspects, provide for receiving input from sensors placed in a user's mouth. The methods and systems may include a plurality of sensors in communication with a controller. Each sensor may be affixed to one of a plurality of teeth. The controller may generate an action signal when a sensor signal exceeds a sensor signal threshold value. Aspects of the disclosure also provide for methods that may include detecting a sensor signal exceeding a sensor signal threshold value, generating an action signal, and transmitting the action signal, the action signal comprising information identifying the sensor associated with the detected sensor signal.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a plurality of sensors each configured to be affixed to a respective one of a plurality of teeth and configured to generate a respective sensor signal upon activation; and a controller in communication with the plurality of sensors, the controller configured to:
cause presentation of a positional representation of the plurality of sensors, the positional representation comprising a mapping of respective commands to the plurality of sensors;receive a first sensor signal from a first one of the plurality of sensors;compare the first sensor signal with a sensor signal threshold value;generate an action signal when the first sensor signal exceeds the sensor signal threshold value; andupdate the positional representation of the plurality of sensors based on the action signal.
