20150089455 | GESTURE INPUT METHOD - A gesture input method includes: observing a wrist; outputting state information indicating a state of the wrist; determining, by a processor, according to the state information whether the wrist is in a dorsiflexion state; and performing, by the processor, a predetermined process in accordance with whether the wrist is in the dorsiflexion state. | 03-26-2015 |
20150193003 | INPUT DEVICE AND INPUT METHOD - A device that is worn on a portion of a user's body and inputs a command into a controller, includes a sensor that obtains angular velocities and an acceleration in a first coordinate system fixed in the input device, a processor that performs setting a second coordinate system for a reference posture of the user, calculating a rotation matrix that converts the angular velocities in the first coordinate system into angular velocities in the second coordinate system using the acceleration in the first coordinate system, calculating feature amounts in the second coordinate system using the angular velocities in the second coordinate system, and specifying the command using the feature amounts, and a transmitter that transmits the command to the controller. | 07-09-2015 |
20150193014 | INPUT DEVICE THAT IS WORN BY USER AND INPUT METHOD - An input device, that is worn on a portion of a user's body, includes: a sensor unit configured to obtain angular velocities and an acceleration in a first coordinate system fixed in the input device; a reference posture specification unit configured to generate a second coordinate system for a reference posture of the user; a rotation matrix calculator configured to calculate a rotation matrix that transforms the angular velocities in the first coordinate system into angular velocities in the second coordinate system using the acceleration in the first coordinate system; a characteristic value calculator configured to calculate characteristic values in the second coordinate system using the angular velocities in the second coordinate system; a command specification unit configured to specify a command according to the characteristic values; and a transmitter configured to transmit the command to the controller. | 07-09-2015 |
20150220762 | INFORMATION READING SYSTEM, READING CONTROL DEVICE, READING CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - An information reading system includes a passive-type IC tag that identifies a device installed on side of an environment, a tag reader that reads identification information of the passive-type IC tag, a sensor unit that detects a touch operation performed with respect to the passive-type IC tag, and a reading control unit that, when the sensor unit detects a touch operation, activates the tag reader and controls timing of reading the passive-type IC tag. | 08-06-2015 |
