Embodiment Construction

[0029] The present disclosure is organized as follows. Part A describes a mobile device in combination with a mount that secures an illustrative mobile device within a vehicle, the mobile device having functional means for detecting gestures made by a user within the vehicle. Part B describes illustrative methods used to illustrate the operation of the mobile device and mount of Part A. Section C describes illustrative computing functionality that can be used to implement any aspect of the features described in Sections A and B.

[0030] As a preliminary subject matter, some of the figures describe concepts in the context of one or more structural components variously referred to as functional devices, modules, features, components, and so on. The various components shown in the figures may be implemented in any manner by any physical and tangible mechanism, such as software, hardware (eg, logical functional devices implemented by a chip), firmware, etc., and / or any combinati...

Abstract

A mobile device is described herein that includes functional means for recognizing gestures made by a user within a vehicle. The mobile device operates by receiving image information for capturing a scene including an object within the interaction space. The interaction space corresponds to a volume projected outward from the mobile device in a direction towards the user. The mobile device then determines from the image information whether the user made a recognizable gesture within the interaction space without touching the mobile device. The mobile device may receive image information from the camera device as an internal component of the mobile device and / or as part of a mount securing the mobile device within the vehicle. In some embodiments, one or more floodlights provided by the mobile device and / or the mount may illuminate the interaction space.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a method for recognizing gestures using a mobile device installed in a vehicle, a mobile device for use within a vehicle, and a mount for supporting the mobile device. Background technique [0002] Users driving a vehicle face many distractions. For example, a user may immediately shift his or her attention from the road to interacting with a media system provided by the vehicle. Alternatively, the user manually interacts with the mobile device, eg, making and receiving phone calls, reading email, conducting searches, and the like. In response to these activities, many jurisdictions have enacted laws prohibiting users from manually interacting with nomadic devices in their vehicles. [0003] Users can reduce distractions of the type described above by using various hands-free interaction devices. For example, a user can use a headset or the like to make a call without having to hold the mobile device. However, such...
