Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
System and methods for controlling a user experience are described. In an aspect, an interface can comprise an interface device for rendering content to a user, a sensor having a gesture zone associated therewith configured to detect a dexterous gesture of a user within the gesture zone and generate a sensor signal representing the dexterous gesture. A processor may be provided in communication with the sensor and the interface device. The processor receives the sensor signal, analyzes the sensor signal to determine a control action associated with the detected dexterous gesture of the user, and configures the user interface based upon the determined control action of the user.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method comprising: projecting first electromagnetic radiation into a first gesture zone, wherein the projected first electromagnetic radiation defines an adaptive coordinate system within the first gesture zone; detecting a dexterous gesture of a user within the first gesture zone based on the projected first electromagnetic radiation, wherein movements of the user within the first gesture zone beyond a pre-defined threshold of movement are filtered out and not considered as dexterous gestures; projecting second electromagnetic radiation into a second gesture zone; detecting a coarse gesture of the user within the second gesture zone based on the projected second electromagnetic radiation, wherein movements of the user within the second gesture zone below a pre-defined threshold of movement are filtered out and not considered as coarse gestures; determining a control action associated with at least one of the detected dexterous gesture of the user or the detected coarse gesture of the user, wherein the control action is determined based on a user profile of the user; determining a device for applying the control action based on at least one of the detected dexterous gesture or the detected coarse gesture; and modifying a user interface of the device based upon the determined control action of the user.
