Abstract
A system for bio-signal control of an electronic device comprising a bio-signal sensing device for detecting a bio-signal in one of a region of a shoulder, a back or a neck operative to detect a bio-signal of a nervous system; a plurality of interfaces operative to communicate with said bio-signal sensing device and said electronic device; a command unit of an electronic interface device operative to generate a command for operation of said electronic device; and a virtual keyboard controller of said electronic device operative to implement said command without physically typing keys on a virtual keyboard is provided. An associated method is also provided.
Claims31
A system for bio-signal control of an electronic device comprising:
- a bio-signal sensing device for detecting a bio-signal in one of a region of a shoulder, a back or a neck operative to detect a bio-signal of a nervous system;
- a plurality of interfaces to communicate with said bio-signal sensing device and said electronic device;
- a command unit of an electronic interface device operative to generate a command for operation of said electronic device;
- and
- a virtual keyboard controller of said electronic device operative to implement said command without physically typing keys on a virtual keyboard.
A method for bio-signal control of an electronic device comprising:
- implanting a bio-signal sensing device in one of a region of a shoulder, a back or a neck;
- detecting a bio-signal of a nervous system;
- calibrating a bio-signal measuring unit of said bio-signal sensing device to reflect real-time conditions of a user;
- generating a command for operation of said electronic device;
- and
- generating said bio-signals by physically typing on a virtual keyboard.
A method for bio-signal control of an electronic device comprising:
- implanting a bio-signal sensing device within a site in a brachial plexus;
- detecting a bio-signal of a nervous system for a predetermined period of time by said bio-signal sensing device;
- calibrating a bio-signal measuring unit of said bio-signal sensing device;
- generating a command for operation of said electronic device;
- and
- implementing said command by a virtual keyboard controller by typing keys on a virtual keyboard.
