Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and/or methods to determine finger and/or hand position. For example, sensors on a wrist of a user may provide sensor signals. A filter may generate filtered sensor signals from the sensor signals, wherein each filtered sensor signal may include a modified signal component. A sorter may sort each filtered sensor signal in a composite pattern based on each modified signal component. A classifier may determine finger and/or hand position based on the composite pattern. In one example, a function of a computing platform may be controlled based on the finger and/or hand position.
Claims25
An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of sensors on a wrist of a user to provide a plurality of sensor signals,
- a filter to generate a plurality of filtered sensor signals from the plurality of sensor signals, wherein each filtered sensor signal is to include a modified signal component,
- a sorter to sort each filtered sensor signal in a composite pattern based on each modified signal component, and
- a classifier to determine finger and/or hand position based on the composite pattern, wherein control function data is to be generated for a function of a computing platform based on the finger and/or hand position.
At least one computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- generate a plurality of filtered sensor signals from a plurality of sensor signals that are to be generated by a plurality of sensors on a wrist of a user, wherein each filtered sensor signal is to include a modified signal component;
- sort each filtered sensor signal in a composite pattern based on each modified signal component;
- and
- determine finger and/or hand position based on the composite pattern, wherein control function data is to be generated for a function of a computing platform based on the finger and/or hand position.
A method comprising:
- generating a plurality of filtered sensor signals from a plurality of sensor signals that are generated by a plurality of sensors on a wrist of a user, wherein each filtered sensor signal includes a modified signal component;
- sorting each filtered sensor signal in a composite pattern based on each modified signal component;
- and
- determining finger and/or hand position based on the composite pattern, wherein control function data is generated for a function of a computing platform based on the finger and/or hand position.
