BINDING USERS TO A GESTURE BASED SYSTEM AND PROVIDING FEEDBACK TO THE USERS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for managing a set of states associated with a user of a gesture based system, the method comprising:
- determining a current state from the set of states, wherein the set of states comprises a bound state in which the user is bound to the gesture based system and an unbound state in which the user is not bound to the gesture based system; and
providing feedback corresponding to the current state, the feedback comprising a bound indicator associated with the bound state;
wherein the feedback changes when the current state changes.

Abstract
Techniques for managing a set of states associated with a capture device are disclosed herein. The capture device may detect and bind to users, and may provide feedback about whether the capture device is bound to, or detecting a user. Techniques are also disclosed wherein virtual ports may be associated with users bound to a capture device and feedback about the state of virtual ports may be provided.

10. A system for managing a set of states associated with a user of a gesture based system, comprising:
-
a capture device for binding to the user; a feedback mechanism; and a processor that executes instructions comprising; determining a current state from the set of states, wherein the set of states comprises a bound state in which the user is bound to the gesture based system and an unbound state in which the user is not bound to the gesture based system; and providing feedback via the feedback mechanism corresponding to the current state, the feedback comprising a bound indicator associated with the bound state, wherein the feedback changes when the current state changes. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer readable medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions for managing a set of states associated with a user of a gesture based system, the instructions comprising:
-
determining a current state from a set of states, wherein the set of states comprises a bound state in which a user is bound to the gesture based system and an unbound state in which no user is bound to the gesture based system; and providing feedback about the current state, the feedback comprising a bound indicator associated with the bound state; wherein the feedback changes when the current state changes. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
