Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide a product configured to obtain biological signals associated with a user. The biological signals may be used to trigger the product of an upcoming, separate command. The product may take action based on the received command. As described herein, the biological signals may comprise a change in electrical potential of a user, such as an EMG, EEG, or EOG signal. The separate command may be other biological signals, a voice command, or a gesture. The product may be configured to control itself and/or a device external to the product.
Claims20
A product comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- detect a learned pattern of bio-signals associated with a user of the product;
- receive a separate command from the user after detecting the pattern of bio-signals, wherein the detected pattern of bio-signals triggers the processor to attempt to receive the separate command;
- and
- take action based on the received command.
A product comprising:
- a first electrode;
- a second electrode;
- a processor coupled to the first and second electrodes, wherein the processor is configured to:
- detect a learned pattern of signals collected via the first and second electrodes;
- in response to the detection, receive a separate command, wherein the detected pattern triggers the processor to attempt to receive the separate command;
- and
- take action to control one of the product or a device external to the product based on the command.
A method performed by a system, comprising:
- detecting a pattern of bio-signals associated with a user of the system;
- receiving a separate command from the user after detecting the bio-signals, wherein the detected pattern of bio-signals trigger attempting to receive the separate command;
- and
- taking action based on the received command.
