US 2016/0109976 A1 · CAPACITIVE GESTURE RECOGNITION BOOK

Abstract

A capacitive gesture recognition book includes a plurality of capacitive sensors concealed in a base cover of the book. The capacitive sensors detect changes in capacitance brought on by a finger of a user coming in proximity with the capacitive sensor. A processor located in the base cover includes a plurality of capacitive activation sequences and a plurality of corresponding responses stored therein. Upon detection of a stored capacitive activation sequence, the processor initiates activation of the corresponding response which may be playback of an audio file. The book includes a plurality of pages that contain graphics and/or words for a storyline. The graphics can include images intended to direct a user of a desired motion to be made that corresponds with activation of sensors in a manner stored as a capacitive activation sequence.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A capacitive gesture recognition book comprising:

a book base having one or more processors, one or more capacitive sensors coupled to at least one of the one or more processors, at least one power supply coupled to at least one of the one or more processors, and at least one output component coupled to at least one of the one or more processors;
and
at least one book page coupled to the book base and positionable there above, the at least one book page comprising at least one page feature, wherein the at least one page feature corresponds to at least one of the one or more capacitive sensors, whereby movement by a user of a user's finger as directed by the page feature causes a change in capacitance detectable by the one or more capacitive sensors that correspond with the page sensor.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
