Abstract

A system and methods for recognizing certain eye or eyelid gestures such as by opening or closing of eyelid or movement of the pupil as signals to trigger certain predesigned desired events. An embodiment comprises of electronic glasses placed in front of the eye to recognize certain eye or eyelid gestures as signals to control an electronic device such as a chair for the special needs, or TVs or Car system or some video games. This is achieved through an apparatus and method of Integrated Circuits (IC) for the purpose of detecting black or white color; for the purpose of controlling the speed of movement of a wheelchair; a wireless control system for the wheelchair. The electronic glasses embodiment is designed using optical probes (IR), some high capacity relays and some amplifiers to run transistors which work to run relays to separate the control circuit from the power circuits.

Claims

1. A method for recognizing certain predefined gestures of any part of the eye as signals comprising:

at least one optical probe;

and using such a probe to detect certain predefined gestures of any part of the eye

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the said gestures recognized as signals are used to trigger predefined events.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein said triggered predefined events are of the nature of electronic stimuli to an electronic machine.

4. The method of claim 2 wherein at least one optical probe is used to detect whether the eyelid is closed or open.

5. The method of claim 2 wherein at least one optical probe is used to detect the position of the pupil of the eye.

6. The method of claim 2 wherein a display panel is used for simulation or testing purpose of the triggered events.

7. The method of claim 1 where the said optical probe is attached to glasses that can be worn by a person.

8. The method of claim 7 where the said glasses can be calibrated to better suit the user.

9. The method of claim 7 where the said glasses can have various kinds of lenses suitable for different lighting conditions.

10. The method of claim 3 wherein the said electronic machine is a wheelchair.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein at least one MOSFET is used to control the speed of movement of said wheelchair.

12. The method of claim 10 wherein probes are used as protection mechanism to stop the said wheelchair'"'"'s movement in case of detection of a collision possibility.

13. The method of claim 10 wherein the user can control the speed or direction of movement of the wheelchair.

14. The method of claim 10 wherein a transmitter and receiver are used for wireless operation of the said wheelchair.
