Abstract
A multi-functional human interface device includes a control unit and a first multi-functional input button. The first multi-functional input button includes a cover unit configured to receive a touch input of a user's finger, an electrode unit including a transmitter and a receiver to form an electric field, an elastic unit configured to move from a first height to a second height when a first pressure is applied from the cover unit and configured to move back to the first height when the first pressure from the cover unit is released, and a switch unit configured to generate an electric signal representing an input of a predetermined letter.
Claims20
A system for controlling a virtual interface, comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to generate at least one gesture input by sensing at least a portion of at least one eye of a user, wherein the at least one sensor includes a first infrared sensor configured to sense at least a portion of a right eye of the user and a second infrared sensor configured to sense at least a portion of a left eye of the user;
- a touch sensor;
- and
- a controller configured to control a pointer on a control target virtual screen based on pointer location information received from the touch sensor, the touch sensor being communicatively coupled to the controller;
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- select the control target virtual screen among a plurality of virtual screens within a three-dimensional virtual space or a three-dimensional augmented space based on the at least one gesture input;
- and
- control the pointer within the selected control target virtual screen based on the pointer location information.
A virtual interface control system, comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to generate at least one gesture input by sensing at least a portion of at least one eye of a user, wherein the at least one sensor includes a first infrared sensor configured to sense at least a portion of a right eye of the user and a second infrared sensor configured to sense at least a portion of a left eye of the user;
- a controller configured to control a pointer on a control target virtual screen based on pointer location information received from a touch sensor which is wirelessly coupled to the controller;
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- calculate a coordinate value based on the at least one gesture input;
- select the control target virtual screen, among a plurality of virtual screens, within a three-dimensional virtual space or a three-dimensional augmented space, based on the coordinate value;
- and
- control the pointer within the selected control target virtual screen based on the pointer location information.
