Detecting user interactions with a computing system of a vehicle
First Claim
1. A computing system of a vehicle comprising:
- a presence-sensitive panel positioned substantially horizontally on a central console of the vehicle;
an infrared camera configured to capture images in a three-dimensional space within the vehicle, the infrared camera being positioned under the presence-sensitive panel and being oriented to capture images in the three-dimensional space above the presence-sensitive panel;
at least one processor; and
at least one storage device that stores instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to;
receive, from the presence-sensitive panel, a first indication of input,receive, from the infrared camera, a second indication of input, anddetermine, based on at least one of the first indication of input or the second indication of input, an operation to be performed.

Abstract
A computing system of a vehicle for controlling a vehicle or systems within a vehicle. The computing system comprises a presence-sensitive panel within the vehicle, an infrared camera configured to capture images in a three-dimensional space within the vehicle, at least one processor; and at least one storage device that stores instructions. When the instructions are executed, they case the at least one processor to: receive, from the presence-sensitive panel, a first indication of input, receive, from the infrared camera, a second indication of input, and determine, based on at least one of the first indication of input or the second indication of input, an operation to be performed.

12. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a computing system of a vehicle, from a presence-sensitive panel positioned substantially horizontally on a central console of the vehicle, a first indication of input; receiving, by the computing system, from an infrared camera configured to capture images in a three-dimensional space within the vehicle, a second indication of input, wherein the infrared camera is positioned under the presence-sensitive panel and is oriented to capture images in the three-dimensional space above the presence-sensitive panel; and determining, based on at least one of the first indication of input or the second indication of input, an operation to be performed. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a computing system of a vehicle, cause at least one processor of the computing system to:
-
receive, from a presence-sensitive panel positioned substantially horizontally on a central console of the vehicle, a first indication of input; receive, from an infrared camera configured to capture images in a three-dimensional space within the vehicle, a second indication of input, wherein the infrared camera is positioned under the presence-sensitive panel and is oriented to capture images in the three-dimensional space above the presence-sensitive panel; and determine, based on at least one of the first indication of input or the second indication of input, an operation to be performed.
