Abstract

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a body with a processor, a camera and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A device, comprising:
a processor coupled to a wireless transceiver;
a camera;
a time-of-flight sensor to capture dimensions of nearby objects; and
a module to form a 3D model of one of the nearby objects, wherein
each of a number of image slices is analyzed separately to determine size and location of an elliptical cross-section of an object in that slice to provide an initial 3D model refined by correlating cross-sections across different slices and by correlating the 3D model with itself across time, wherein an object of interest is illuminated at a predetermined level during scanning.

2. The device of claim 1 , comprising a pressure sensor, a motion sensor, a finger sensor, a digit motion sensor, an EKG sensor, a bio sensor, a medical sensor, or a temperature sensor.

3. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to determine position and shape of the object of interest based on locations of object edges in time-correlated images from two different cameras, and determine motion of the object from successive pairs of images.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a road contacting surface, air contacting surface or water contacting surface.

5. The device of claim 1 , comprising a gesture identifying component configured to identify hand or finger gesture to the device.

6. The device of claim 1 , comprising an optical positioning system.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the positioning system comprises a laser positioning system.

8. The device of claim 1 , comprising a sensor to detect an imminent impact and activate crash protection for a user.

9. The device of claim 1 , comprising a hidden markov model (HMM) or a deep learning machine to detect patterns from the camera and the accelerometer.

10. The device of claim 1 , comprising an emotion detector to detect a user condition.

11. A system, comprising:
an accelerometer and a camera to detect a potential impact;
a radio frequency transmitter coupled to the accelerometer for transmitting impact measurements;
a module to form a 3D model of one of the nearby objects, wherein each of a number of image slices is analyzed separately to determine size and location of an elliptical cross-section of an object in that slice to provide an initial 3D model refined by correlating cross-sections across different slices and by correlating the 3D model with itself across time, wherein an object of interest is illuminated at a predetermined level during scanning.

12. The system of claim 11 , comprising at least one sensor selected from a sensor set comprising: a pressure sensor, a motion sensor, a finger sensor, a digit motion sensor, an EKG sensor, a bio sensor, a medical sensor, a temperature sensor.

13. The system of claim 11 , comprising a module to follow other third parties or other devices in a flock.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the device comprises a road contacting surface, further comprising a positioning system.

15. The system of claim 11 , comprising a gesture identifying component to recognize hand or finger gesture to the device.

16. The system of claim 15 , comprising controlling a window with the gesture.

17. The system of claim 15 , comprising controlling a seat with the gesture.

18. The system of claim 15 , comprising controlling an audio system with the gesture.

19. The system of claim 15 , comprising controlling a temperature with the gesture.

20. The system of claim 15 , comprising controlling a vehicle management system with the gesture.
