Grip Detection

View page

US Patent:

20150205400, Jul 23, 2015

Filed:

Jan 21, 2014

Appl. No.:

14/160276

Inventors:

- Redmond WA, US
Muhammad Usman - Bellevue WA, US
Scott Greenlay - Redmond WA, US
Moshe Sapir - Seattle WA, US

Assignee:

MICROSOFT CORPORATION - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 3/044
G06T 3/60

Abstract:

Example apparatus and methods detect how a portable (e.g., handheld) device (e.g., phone, tablet) is gripped (e.g., held, supported). Detecting the grip may include detecting and characterizing touch points for fingers, thumbs, palms, or surfaces that are involved in supporting and positioning the apparatus. Example apparatus and methods may determine whether and how an apparatus is being held and then may exercise control based on the grip detection. For example, a display on an input/output interface may be reconfigured, physical controls (e.g., push buttons) on the apparatus may be remapped, user interface elements may be repositioned, resized, or repurposed, portions of the input/output interface may be desensitized or hyper-sensitized, virtual controls may be remapped, or other actions may be taken. Touch sensors may detect the pressure with which a smart phone is being gripped and produce control events (e.g., on/off, louder/quieter, brighter/dimmer, press and hold) based on the pressure.

Multiple Hover Point Gestures

US Patent:

20150177866, Jun 25, 2015

Filed:

Dec 23, 2013

Appl. No.:

14/138238

Inventors:

- Redmond WA, US
Scott Greenlay - Redmond WA, US
Christopher Fellowes - Redmond WA, US
Bob Schriver - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/042
G06F 3/01

Abstract:

Example apparatus and methods concern detecting and responding to a multiple hover point gesture performed for a hover-sensitive device. An example apparatus may include a hover-sensitive input/output interface configured to detect multiple objects in a hover-space associated with the hover-sensitive input/output interface. The apparatus may include logics configured to identify an object in the hover-space, to characterize an object in the hover-space, to track an object in the hover-space, to identify a multiple hover point gesture based on the identification, characterization, and tracking, and to control a device, application, interface, or object based on the multiple hover point gesture. In different embodiments, multiple hover point gestures may be performed in one, two, three, or four dimensions. In one embodiment, the apparatus may be event driven with respect to handling gestures.

Crane Gesture

US Patent:

20150160819, Jun 11, 2015

Filed:

Dec 6, 2013

Appl. No.:

14/098952

Inventors:

- Redmond WA, US
Scott Greenlay - Redmond WA, US
Christopher Fellows - Redmond WA, US
Thamer Abanami - Seattle WA, US
Jose Rodriguez - Seattle WA, US
Joe Tobens - Settle WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/0486
G06F 3/041
G06F 3/0488
G06F 3/01

Abstract:

Example apparatus and methods concern detecting and responding to a crane gesture performed for a touch or hover-sensitive device. An example apparatus may include a hover-sensitive input/output interface configured to display an object that can be manipulated using a crane gesture. The apparatus may include a proximity detector configured to detect an object in a hover-space associated with the hover-sensitive input/output interface. The apparatus may include fogies configured to change a state of the object from untouched to target to pinched to lifted to released in response to detecting the appearance and movement of bracket points. The appearance of the object may change in response to detecting the state changes.
