Helmet communication and safety system
Various helmet communication, entertainment, and safety techniques are enabled. For instance, a method comprises receiving, by a helmet user-interface system comprising a processor, an output from a sensor, determining, by the helmet user-interface system, whether the output comprises gesture information representative of a gesture, in response to the determining and based on a condition being determined to be satisfied, identifying, by the helmet user-interface system, a gesture type associated with the gesture information, and executing, by the helmet user-interface system, a function associated with the gesture type.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a helmet user-interface system comprising a processor, an output from a sensor;
determining, by the helmet user-interface system, whether the output comprises hand motion recognition information representative of a gesture, wherein the hand motion recognition information comprises pattern information indicative that a hand has traversed a space within a defined range of the sensor, and distance information indicative of an average distance of the hand from the sensor during traversal of the space;
in response to the determining and based on a condition being determined to be satisfied, identifying, by the helmet user-interface system, a gesture type associated with the hand motion recognition information; and
executing, by the helmet user-interface system, a function associated with the gesture type, wherein the function facilitates entertainment, communication, or safety.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the gesture is detected to have occurred less than or equal to about 30 centimeters from the sensor.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sensor comprises a proximity sensor.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to the executing the function, transmitting, by the helmet user-interface system, a signal to a mobile device communicatively coupled to the system.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the transmitting causes the mobile device to perform a task corresponding to the signal, and wherein the task comprises at least one of managing music or initiating a telephone call.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the condition being determined to be satisfied comprises at least one of:
the output comprising the hand motion recognition information representative of the gesture, the hand motion recognition information matching the gesture type, the output being contained within a distance limit or threshold, a gesture-input setting of helmet user-interface system being enabled, or the helmet user-interface system being communicatively coupled to a mobile device.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating, by the helmet user-interface system, confirmation feedback associated with the gesture type.
8. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a helmet user-interface system comprising a processor, an output from a sensor;
determining, by the helmet user-interface system, whether the output comprises trackable device motion recognition information representative of a gesture, wherein the trackable device motion recognition information comprises pattern information indicative that a trackable device has traversed a space within a defined range of the sensor, and distance information indicative of an average distance of the trackable device from the sensor during traversal of the space;
in response to the determining and based on a condition being determined to be satisfied, identifying, by the helmet user-interface system, a gesture type associated with the trackable device motion recognition information; and
executing, by the helmet user-interface system, a function associated with the gesture type, wherein the function facilitates entertainment, communication, or safety.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the gesture is detected to have occurred less than or equal to about 30 centimeters from a sensor.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the trackable device is a trackable ring or a trackable glove.
11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
in response to the executing the function, transmitting, by the helmet user-interface system, a signal to a mobile device communicatively coupled to the system.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the transmitting causes the mobile device to perform a task corresponding to the signal, and wherein the task comprises managing music.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the condition being satisfied comprises at least one of:
the output comprising the trackable device information representative of the gesture, the trackable device information matching the gesture type, the output being contained within a distance limit, a gesture-input setting of helmet user-interface system being enabled, or the helmet user-interface system being communicatively coupled to a mobile device.
14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
generating, by the helmet user-interface system, confirmation feedback associated with the gesture type.
15. A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving an output from a sensor;
determining whether the output comprises hand motion recognition information representative of a gesture, wherein the hand motion recognition information comprises information indicative that a hand has traversed a space within a defined range of the sensor, and distance information representative of an average distance of the hand from the sensor during traversal of the space;
in response to the determining and based on a condition being determined to be satisfied, identifying a gesture type associated with the gesture information; and
executing a function associated with the gesture type, wherein the function facilitates entertainment, communication, or safety.
16. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the gesture is detected to have occurred less than or equal to about 30 centimeters from the sensor.
17. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the sensor comprises a proximity sensor.
18. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:
in response to the executing the function, transmit a signal to a mobile device communicatively coupled to the system.
19. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the transmitting causes the mobile device to perform a task corresponding to the signal, and wherein the task comprises initiating a telephone call.
20. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the condition being determined to be satisfied comprises at least one of:
the output comprising the hand motion recognition information representative of the gesture, the hand motion recognition information matching the gesture type, or the output being contained within a distance threshold.
