The method includes receiving, by a first terminal after receiving a collaboration request activation signal, parameter information of second terminals; recording, by the first terminal according to the parameter information of the second terminals, an arrangement manner of terminals that participate in acquiring of gesture information, where the terminals that participate in the acquiring of the gesture information include all terminals or the second terminals; receiving, by the first terminal, sensor trigger information sent by at least one second terminal; and determining, by the first terminal according to the recorded arrangement manner and the acquired sensor trigger information, a type of a gesture that triggers a sensor. | 2015-07-02 |
20150186007 | Computer-Implemented Method For Designing a Three-Dimensional Modeled Object - A computer-implemented method for designing a three-dimensional modeled object provides the three-dimensional modeled object in a three-dimensional scene; and displays a plane-shaped graphical tool (PSGT) defining a current working plane. The method points to and activates the plane-shaped graphical tool (PSGT) with a pointing element (PE). Without releasing the pointing element (PE), the method hovers the pointing element over a part of the three-dimensional modeled object and selects said part of the three-dimensional modeled object when releasing the pointing element (PE). The method extracts a working plane from the selected object at the current position of the pointing element and defines said plane as the current working plane represented by the plane-shaped graphical tool (PSGT). Lastly, a designing operation is performed in the current working plane. | 2015-07-02 |
