Human interface electronic device

摘要

According to one general aspect, an apparatus configured to facilitate user gesture-based input may include an optical sensor, a plurality of infrared sensors, and processor. In various embodiments, the optical sensor may be configured to capture image data, within the visual spectrum. In some embodiments, the plurality of infrared sensors configured capture positional information regarding gestures made by a user. In one embodiment, the processor may be configured to receive the image data captured by the optical sensor and the positional information captured by the plurality of infrared sensors. In some embodiments, the processor may be configured to process the image data captured by the optical sensor. In various embodiments, the processor may be configured to determine, for each infrared sensor, a movement vector including coordinates that represents movement associated with the respective infrared sensor. In one embodiment, the apparatus may be configured to provide signals relating to the processed image data and the plurality of movement vectors to a host apparatus configured to be controlled, at least in part, by gestures made by the user.

1. An apparatus configured to facilitate user gesture-based input comprising:
an optical sensor configured to capture image data, within the visual spectrum; a plurality of infrared sensors configured to capture positional information regarding gestures made by a user, positioned symmetrically on either side of the optical sensor each with an inclination configured to limit a field of view of the plurality of infrared sensors to the right and left sides of the user; a processor configured to:
receive the image data captured by the optical sensor and the positional information captured by the plurality of infrared sensors,process the image data captured by the optical sensor, anddetermine, for each infrared sensor, a movement vector indicating a change in at least one of X, Y, and Z coordinates that represents movement associated with the respective infrared sensor; and wherein the apparatus is configured to provide signals relating to the processed image data and the plurality of movement vectors to a host apparatus configured to be controlled, at least in part, by gestures made by the user.
