| 20120101785 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE ACTIVITY OF A PERSON LYING DOWN - The system for determining the activity of a person lying down has at least one motion sensor (CM) having at least one measurement axis, which is provided with a fastener (MF) for firmly connecting the motion sensor (CM) to a user. The system includes a filter (FILT) for selecting, for at least one measurement axis of the motion sensor (CM), a high-frequency signal (HF) and a low-frequency signal (BF); a first calculation unit (CALC | 04-26-2012 |
| 20120062718 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INTERPRETING MUSICAL GESTURES - Musical rendition is provided through the use of microsensors, in particular of accelerometers and magnetometers or rate gyros, and through an appropriate processing of the signals from the microsensors. In particular, the processing uses a merging of the data output from the microsensors to eliminate false alarms in the form of movements of the user unrelated to the music. The velocity of the musical strikes is also measured. Embodiments make it possible to control the running of mp3 or wav type music files to be played back. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20120059494 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE PLAYBACK OF A FILE OF SIGNALS TO BE REPRODUCED - Controlling playback by strokes entered via a MIDI interface or measured by one or more motion sensors is disclosed. The variations of the playback speed can also be smoothed to ensure a better musical rendition. The velocity of the strokes can also be taken into account to control the volume of the audio output and other gestures or strokes can also act on the tremolo or vibrato. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20110205156 | COMMAND BY GESTURE INTERFACE - The invention discloses a device and a method for commanding appliances by a gesture. User interfaces of the prior art have the limitation that they require an increasing number of buttons and/or graphical input areas on a display, so that the learning time of the user increases exponentially and his ability to memorise the corresponding codes decreases inversely. The device of the invention, in various embodiments which may be combined, increases the number of functions of one or more appliances which may be controlled without increasing the number of buttons and/or graphical control zones of displays. This is provided by including an orientation sensor in the device, said orientation being one of the parameters to control the operating mode of the device. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110199298 | POINTER WITH MOTION SENSING RESOLVED BY DATA MERGING - The invention applies to a pointing device of a mobile element, for example a cursor, on a plane surface. The pointing device comprises a first sensor for measuring the angular rates of the device and a second sensor of the linear accelerations along three dimensions of said device. Preferably, the first sensor is a two-axis or three-axis gyrometer and the second sensor is a three-axis accelerometer. The invention makes it possible to render the movements of the mobile element in the surface of the orientation in which the pointing device is held by its user. This result is achieved by global resolution of the angles of torsion by combining the measurements of the first and second sensors either within an extended Kalman filter or by application of an optimization criterion. The invention also provides a method for estimating the parameters which characterize motion and/or orientation of an object in space from said combination of the measurements of the first and second sensors either within an extended Kalman filter or by application of an optimization criterion. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20090326857 | HAND HELD POINTING DEVICE WITH ROLL COMPENSATION - A pointing device includes accelerometers and rotational sensors that are coupled to a processor. The processor samples the accelerometers and rotational sensors to detect gravity and pointing device motion and uses algebraic algorithms to calculate roll compensated cursor control signals. The processor transmits the cursor control signals to a receiver that is coupled to an electronic device that moves the cursor on the visual display. | 12-31-2009 |
