System and method for image position determination using one or more anchors
11562499 · 2023-01-24 · ·

A system and a method of position and orientation determination use an image capturing device and position and orientation sensors in user equipment such as a head mounted device “HMD”. The method may comprise receiving position measurements from the position sensor and receiving a selection of one or more anchors based on said position measurements including the position of each anchor. The position and orientation measurements may be used to determine whether any selected anchor is visible to said image capturing device based on said position and orientation measurements. Then the image capturing device may be activated to capture an image including said one or more anchors when a selected anchor is visible. The image may be analyzed to determine the position and orientation of the image capturing device relative to the one or more anchors.

PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR USE IN DIFFERENT ORIENTATIONS
20230228724 · 2023-07-20 ·

A portable electronic device for use in different orientations includes a signal control module, a key control module, an information display module, and a position detection module. The key control module includes a plurality of functional switches and functional keys. The signal control module has a plurality of key function execution commands respectively corresponding to the functional keys. The position detection module is configured for detecting a placement orientation of the portable electronic device. When the portable electronic device is rotated to change the placement orientation of the information display module, a screen orientation of an information display image provided by the information display module is changed following a change of the placement orientation of the information display module, and a corresponding relationship between the functional switch and the key function execution command is changed following the change of the placement orientation of the information display module.

Media content presentation

A method of presenting media content is disclosed. A plurality of assets is received at a mobile device comprising a display and an orientation sensor. The plurality of assets comprises a first video asset associated with a first aspect ratio, and a second video asset associated with a second aspect ratio, different from the first aspect ratio. A desired aspect ratio is determined based on an output of the orientation sensor. In accordance with a determination that the desired aspect ratio is closer to the first aspect ratio than to the second aspect ratio, the first video asset is selected. In accordance with a determination that the desired aspect ratio is closer to the second aspect ratio than to the first aspect ratio, the second video asset is selected. The selected video is presented at the desired aspect ratio via the display.

Techniques for interacting with handheld devices

In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for multiple device interaction includes detecting an orientation of a first device relative to a second device. The method also includes detecting a first gesture performed with either the first device or the second device, wherein the first gesture causes a first action that is based at least in part on the orientation of the first device relative to the second device.

METHOD, MOBILE DEVICE AND CLEANING ROBOT FOR SPECIFYING CLEANING AREAS
20230229158 · 2023-07-20 ·

A method for specifying a cleaning area to a cleaning robot without an in-built map provides a hand-held mobile device capturing a two-dimensional code label arranged on a top of a cleaning robot parked on a charging base, and obtaining a positional relationship between the mobile device and the cleaning robot through the captured image. The cleaning robot is controlled to enter a cleaning mode under the guidance of the mobile device. With captured images, a user can specify an area within the environment for cleaning, and through a touch display screen can control the cleaning robot to go to the specified cleaning area for cleaning. The mobile device and the cleaning robot employing the method are also disclosed.

Controlling from a mobile device a graphical pointer displayed at a local computing device

A computing system includes a mobile device having a wireless transceiver and an orientation sensor that senses orientation of the mobile device and generates orientation data based on the sensed orientation. A controller converts the orientation data to graphical pointer data, which is transmitted via the wireless transceiver to a local computing device, which translates the graphical pointer data to represent a graphical pointer being displayed on its display. The graphical pointer is controlled on the display of the local computing device by changing orientation of the mobile device.

DISPLAY METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
