Enhanced Light-Generated Interface For Use With Electronic Devices

View page
US Patent:
20030165048, Sep 4, 2003
Filed:
Dec 9, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/315908
Inventors:
Cyrus Bamji - Fremont CA, US
James Spare - San Francisco CA, US
Abbas Rafii - Palo Alto CA, US
Michael Van Meter - Danville CA, US
John Bacus - San Francisco CA, US
Helena Roeber - Palo Alto CA, US
Cheng-Feng Sze - Cupertino CA, US
Apurva Desai - Fremont CA, US
International Classification:
G06F001/16
US Classification:
361/681000
Abstract:
A light-generated input interface is provided using a combination of components that include a projector and a sensor. The projector displays an image corresponding to an input device. The sensor can be used to detect selection of input based on contact by a user-controlled object with displayed regions of the projected input device. An intersection of a projection area and an active sensor area on a surface where the input device is to be displayed is used to set a dimension of an image of the input device.

System And Method For Determining An Input Selected By A User Through A Virtual Interface

View page
US Patent:
20040136564, Jul 15, 2004
Filed:
Aug 20, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/645765
Inventors:
Helena Roeber - Palo Alto CA, US
Ilhami Torunoglu - Monte Sereno CA, US
Abbas Rafii - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
G06K009/00
US Classification:
382/100000
Abstract:
A system and method for determining which key value in a set of key values is to be assigned as a current key value as a result an object intersecting a region where a virtual interface is provided. The virtual interface may enable selection of individual key values in the set. The position is determined using a depth sensor that determines a depth of the position in relation to the location of the depth sensor. A set of previous key values that are pertinent to the current key value may also be identified. In addition, at least one of either a displacement characteristic of the object, or a shape characteristic of the object is determined. A probability is determined that indicates the current key value is a particular one or more of the key values in the set.

Management Of Electronic Content Sharing

View page
US Patent:
20180253792, Sep 6, 2018
Filed:
May 9, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/467860
Inventors:
David P. Conway - Los Altos CA, US
Helena Roeber - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:
Google Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G06Q 40/02
G06F 9/451
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, provide for one or more items of electronic content, or selected portions thereof, to be loaned or shared directly from one device to another device. A share event may be initiated by tapping, bumping, or other physical contact between the two devices, or by proximity of the two devices. During the share event, and/or at other times, one or more offers to purchase share opportunities associated with the item of electronic content may be presented on the loaner's device and/or the recipient's device. If a share request is approved, a copy of the item(s) of electronic content may be transferred directly from the loaner's computing device to the recipient's computing device, or may be transferred from a server at a later time.
