Finger motion virtual object indicator with dual image sensor for electronic device
View Patent ↗The virtual object indicator having dual image sensors for an electronic device comprises a housing to receive component therein. A user finger motion detecting device having the dual image sensors is attached on an upper surface of the housing for detection the motion of user finger. A controller is received in the housing for generating a control signal in responsive to the user finger motion detection, wherein the images captured by at least one of the dual image sensors is analyzed to drive a virtual object on a display of the electronic device, a communication interface is coupled to the controller for communication with the electronic device.
1. A method of controlling an electronic computing device with a display by figure motion and face recognition comprising:
providing at least one image sensor for said electronic computing device to capture a face image of a user in front of said display, followed by analyzing said face image to output a first control signal without touching said display, wherein said at least one image sensor includes CMOS or CCD sensor to capture said face image of said user;
capturing a figure image of said user without touching said display by said at least one image sensor;
analyzing said figure image, followed by generating a second control signal in responsive to said analysis to control a first displayed image on said display without touching said display of said electronic computing device; and
providing a vocal control through a microphone and a vocal control software of said electronic computing device for voice recognition to control a second displayed image on said display without touching said display of said electronic computing device.
2. The method of claim 1 , further providing a detecting light source for detecting said user.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first, or said second control signal includes bar scrolling, application instruction, webpage movement or image size change.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting eye motion of said user by projecting spots at pupil of said user's.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising a step of evaluating pupil position information and to determine where said user looks.
6. A method of controlling an electronic computing device with a display by figure motion and face recognition comprising:
providing at least one image sensor for said electronic computing device to capture image of a face image of a user in front of said display, followed by analyzing said face image to output a first control signal without touching said display;
providing infrared ray (IR) source for detecting said user;
capturing images of a figure image of said user without touching said display by said at least one image sensor;
analyzing said figure image, followed by generating a second control signal in responsive to said analysis to control a first displayed image on said display; and
providing a vocal control through a microphone and a vocal control software of said electronic computing device for voice recognition to control a second displayed image on said display without touching said display for said electronic computing device.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein said at least one image sensor includes CMOS or CCD sensor.
8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising capturing a gesture image of said user without touching said display by said at least one image sensor; and analyzing said gesture image, followed by generating a third control signal in responsive to said gesture image analysis.
