Pointer tracking for eye-level scanners and displays

摘要

A wearable computer device may include multiple imaging devices or other sensors working in concert to recognize conditions, objects or areas of an environment in which the wearable computer device is situated. The device may include a imaging device and a sensor, which may but need not be a imaging device, for sensing and capturing information regarding the environment. The sensor may be configured to perform one or more specific tasks, such as recognizing particular items, and the imaging device may be generally configured to perform multiple tasks. Upon the execution of a specific task by the sensor, information or instructions regarding the specific task may be provided to a wearer of the device, or may cause the imaging device to automatically operate to gather further information. Such information gathered from the imaging device or the sensor may be provided to the user, such as on a computer display mounted to the device.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
providing a wearable apparatus having a primary imaging device, a secondary imaging device, at least one computer processor and at least one memory device; storing instructions for identifying a type of item attribute in the at least one memory device; capturing at least one first image of an object using the secondary imaging device; analyzing the at least one first image to determine whether the at least one first image includes an item attribute of the type; in response to determining that the at least one first image includes the item attribute of the type,
adjusting the primary imaging device to place at least a portion of the object in a field of view of the primary imaging device;capturing at least one second image of the object using the primary imaging device; andstoring an association between the attribute and the at least one second image in at least one data store.
