20110254835 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE CREATION OF 3-DIMENSIONAL IMAGES - The invention relates to a method and system for generating a 3-dimensional image on a 2-dimensional display of a device. The method includes the steps of receiving an image in image processor means and using the image processor means to determine at least two pixels layers in the image. A proximity value is then assigned to each pixel layer wherein the proximity value is indicative of a depth perception of the pixel layer relative to a user of a device having a display screen. An instruction module is then coupled to the image operative to cause each pixel layer to move along an axis of orientation on the 2-dimensional display of the device and at a velocity rate dependent upon the proximity value assigned to the pixel layer. | 10-20-2011 |
20110298935 | TELEPROMPTING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A teleprompter system and method include use of a touch-screen interface positioned intermediate to the user and a camera such that the camera captures the user's image through a transparency of the touch-screen interface. The touch screen interface is coupled to a computer and is operably connected so as to enable user control and manipulation of interactive media content generated by the computer. A video mixing component integrates images captured by the camera with interactive media content generated by the computer, as may be manipulated by the user via the touch-screen interface, to generate a coordinated presentation. The coordinated presentation can be received by one or more remote devices. The remote devices can further interact with at least the interactive media content. | 12-08-2011 |
20120101604 | ANALOG-SIGNAL CONTROLLER FOR MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICES - A system and method are provided for interfacing with a mobile device. According to one aspect, a method for interfacing one or more peripheral devices with a mobile device having a processor is provided. One or more unique tones/signals are generated at a respective peripheral device corresponding to an event detected by the respective peripheral device. The tones/signals are conveyed to a mobile device where they are received through a microphone in communication with the mobile device. A processor processes the signals into one or more digital commands, and correlates the digital commands with real-time data to identify an action. One or more outputs are then provided based upon the action. | 04-26-2012 |
20120214587 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SINGLE-USER CONTROL OF MULTIPLE ROLES WITHIN A MUSIC SIMULATION - Systems and methods are provided for enhancing interaction with a music simulation program. A controller interacts with the music simulation program in conjunction with a motion sensor to enable selection from among various operating modes, each representing a musical instrument or role. Distinct gestures and/or movements are detected by the motion sensor and serve to switch among the various modes during the course of the duration of a song or video without interrupting the progression of the song/video or gameplay. | 08-23-2012 |
20130315276 | TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - In one or more implementations, a temperature measuring system is provided, including a temperature sensing probe having (a) a thermistor operatively connected to a first conductor and (b) a resistor operatively connected to a second conductor, and a temperature determination application stored in a memory of a computing device operatively connected to the temperature sensing probe. When executed by a processor of the computing device, the temperature determination application configures the computing device to: transmit a first instance of a signal to the first conductor, receive a temperature signal from the thermistor, the temperature signal corresponding to the first instance of the signal as output from the thermistor, transmit a second instance of the signal to the second conductor, receive a reference signal from the resistor, the reference signal corresponding to the second instance of the signal as output from the resistor, process the temperature signal and the reference signal to determine a relationship between the temperature signal and the reference signal, and compute a temperature based on the relationship. | 11-28-2013 |
