20090138830 | Method, article, apparatus and computer system for inputting a graphical object - Method, article, apparatus and computer system facilitating the easy and intuitive inputting of a desired graphical object into an electronic system from a large plurality of predetermined graphical objects. In one example embodiment, this is achieved by assigning each of said graphical objects into one of a plurality of groups in accordance with a predetermined similarity criterion, associating respective base shapes to each of said groups, wherein said base shapes having a certain degree of similarity to the objects assigned to the associated group according to said similarity criterion and associating in each of said groups at least one gesture to each of said graphical objects, so that the associated gestures are distinguishable from each other. In order to input the desired graphical object, one of the groups is selected by selecting its base shape and then the desired graphical object is identified by drawing the respective gesture associated thereto. | 05-28-2009 |
20090204364 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTIMATING DISTANCES USING MULTI-RESOLUTION FUNCTIONS - Systems and methods for estimating the distance between a start point and a true endpoint in which at least two functions of differing resolutions are used. The method includes measuring a coarse distance between the start point and an intermediate point using the lower resolution function, the intermediate point comprising a point which is substantially within one unit of the higher resolution function away from the true endpoint. Next, a vernier distance is measured from the intermediate point to a vernier endpoint using the higher resolution function, the vernier endpoint being within a narrow, vernier error window of the true endpoint. Subsequently, the coarse and vernier distances are summed to obtain the estimated distance. | 08-13-2009 |
