GESTURES FOR SWITCHING AUDIO ENDPOINTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240281194 titled 'GESTURES FOR SWITCHING AUDIO ENDPOINTS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system that uses an image sensor to capture a user's face and detect gestures, specifically pointing to a feature on the face. The system then adjusts the audio output based on the detected gesture.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Utilizes an image sensor to capture the user's face.
- Detects gestures, such as pointing to a feature on the face.
- Adjusts audio output based on the detected gesture.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in:
- Video conferencing systems.
- Virtual reality applications.
- Gaming consoles.
Problems Solved:
- Enhances user experience by automatically adjusting audio based on gestures.
- Improves communication in video calls by focusing on the speaker's face.
Benefits:
- Seamless audio adjustment for users.
- Enhanced user interaction in various applications.
- Improved audio clarity in communication devices.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial uses include:
- Integration into smart home devices.
- Incorporation into entertainment systems.
- Adoption in educational technology for interactive learning experiences.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include research on gesture recognition systems in audiovisual devices.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in gesture recognition technology and audiovisual integration for potential improvements in this system.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between various gestures to adjust audio output accordingly? 2. What are the privacy implications of using an image sensor to capture user gestures in this system?
Original Abstract Submitted
an example system includes an image sensor, a plurality of audio endpoints, and an electronic device comprising a controller. the controller is to receive images of a user's face from the image sensor. in addition, the controller is to detect, in the images, a gesture of the user to point to a feature on the user's face. further, the controller is to transition between use of the plurality of audio endpoints in response to detecting the gesture.
