Predicted object location
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- using a computer-executable program to process information pertaining to an object detected at or near a display to determine a predicted location of the object in the future; and
using the predicted location to capture an image of less than an available area of the display.

11. A method comprising:
-
acquiring information, for an object moving at or near a display, describing detected locations of the object over time;
processing the information to repeatedly generate a predicted location of the object; and
continuing to perform an image comparison operation that is limited to a region of interest that includes the predicted location even when the object is no longer detected.

12. An apparatus comprising:
-
a display;
a vision system configured for capturing an image of the display; and
means for controlling a graphical user interface presented at the display and for controlling the vision system to limit capturing of the image to a region of interest within the display, the region of interest including a predicted next location of an object detected at or near the display. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. An apparatus comprising:
a storage device upon which is stored a computer-executable program which when executed by a processor enables the processor to control a graphical user interface presented at a display and to process information pertaining to an object detected at or near the display to determine a predicted location of the object in the future, to process the information to determine a region of interest within the display that includes the predicted location, and to generate an output signal that controls an image capture device to image a subportion of the display corresponding to the region of interest. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. An apparatus comprising:
-
a display for providing an interactive graphical user interface;
a vision system configured for capturing an image of the display to determine a location of an object facing the display; and
a processing device programmed to control the display and the vision system and to perform an image comparison using an imaged region of interest less than an available area of the display. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
