On the other hand, if the device is in a sleep mode, the device illuminates a second, substantially lesser portion of the display to display content. In one embodiment, the device display includes a display panel and two disparate backlights positioned behind the display panel. The first backlight is operable to illuminate the first portion of the display panel and the second backlight is operable to illuminate the second portion of the display panel when each backlight is respectively activated by the device's processing subsystem. | 2015-04-16 |
20150102993 | PROJECTOR-CAMERA SYSTEM WITH AN INTERACTIVE SCREEN - A projector-camera system includes a projector coupled to back project a first image on a translucent diffusing screen. A camera is coupled to capture a second image from a back side of the translucent diffusing screen. The second image includes the first image back projected on the translucent diffusing screen and a shadow of a pointing device cast on a front side of the translucent diffusing screen. The pointing device is on the front side of the translucent diffusing screen and is in close proximity to the translucent diffusing screen. A processing block is coupled to the projector and the camera to generate a third image including the shadow of the pointing device. The processing block is further coupled to activate a command in a main computer coupled to the processing block in response to a relative position of the shadow of the pointing device in the third image. | 2015-04-16 |
20150102994 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTI-TOUCH GESTURE DETECTION USING ULTRASOUND BEAMFORMING - Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for gesture detection using ultrasound beamforming are presented. In some embodiments, a method for gesture detection utilizing ultrasound beamforming includes projecting an ultrasound wave parallel to a surface, wherein the ultrasound wave is projected utilizing ultrasound beamforming. The method further includes receiving an ultrasound echo from an object in contact with the surface. The method additionally includes interpreting a gesture based at least in part on the received ultrasound echo. | 2015-04-16 |
