Abstract
Method and systems for controlling a display device, including detecting a mid-air gesture using a sensing device; mapping the detected mid-air gesture to locations of an interaction region, the interaction region including an on-screen region of the display device and an off-screen region that is located outside an edge of the on-screen region; and performing a display device control action upon detecting an edge interaction based on the mapping of the detected mid-air gesture to locations that interact with the edge of the on-screen region.
Claims20
A method for controlling a display device, comprising:
- detecting a mid-air gesture using a sensing device;
- mapping the detected mid-air gesture to locations of an interaction region, the interaction region including an on-screen region of the display device, an off-screen region that is located outside an edge of the on-screen region and an edge region of the display device that is located at the edge of the on-screen region;
- detecting an edge interaction corresponding to a user interface control element of the display device, based on the mapping of the detected mid-air gesture to locations that interact with the edge region in a predefined manner;
- and
- performing a display device control action based on the detected edge interaction.
A system comprising:
- a sensing device for sensing mid-air gestures;
- a display device;
- one or more processors in communication with the sensing device and the display device;
- one or more non-transitory memories storing executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors configure the system to:
- detect a mid-air gesture based on signals received from the sensing device;
- map the detected mid-air gesture to locations in an interaction region that includes an on-screen region of the display device, an-off screen region that is located outside an edge of the on-screen region, and an edge region of the display device that is located at the edge of the on-screen region;
- detect an edge interaction corresponding to a user interface control element of the display device when the detected mid-air gesture is mapped to locations in the interaction region that interact with the edge of the on-screen region in a predefined manner;
- and
- perform a display device control action corresponding to the detected edge interaction.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
- detect a mid-air gesture based on signals received from a sensing device;
- map the detected mid-air gesture to locations in an interaction region that includes an on-screen region of a display device, an-off screen region that is located outside an edge of the on-screen region, and an edge region of the display device that is located at the edge of the on-screen region;
- detect an edge interaction corresponding to a user interface control element of the display device when the detected mid-air gesture is mapped to locations in the interaction region that interact with the edge of the on-screen region in a predefined manner;
- and
- perform a display device control action corresponding to the detected edge interaction.
