Problems solved by technology

When the physical interface is to be used in a public environment, the system creates hygienic issues and may become unclean or unattractive to users
In addition, physical interfaces are susceptible to wear, reducing their useful life and increasing repair costs
What's more, it is possible to cause misuse and damage due to the destruction of the entity interface

Embodiment Construction

[0024] The following description of the embodiments discloses non-limiting exemplary embodiments of the invention. This invention can be embodied in many forms and should not be construed as limited to only the embodiments set forth herein.

[0025] Embodiments of the present invention arise from the current state of the art that it is not easy to control In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) systems using a touch screen interface that is part of a seatback video display unit. When the touch screen is arranged in the back of the seat of the first class or business class, the touch screen interface will be too far away from the facing passenger to be inconvenient to touch. In addition, the touch screen interface set on the back of the economy class seat is inconvenient to touch when the passenger seat is reclined.

[0026] To address these and other problems, embodiments of the present invention are related to providing a vehicle entertainment system, which is referred to herein as a ...

Abstract

An in-flight entertainment system includes a video display unit facing a user seat. The video display unit includes a display surface that displays images to a user who is seated on the user seat. A light emitter illuminates eyes of the user. A camera outputs a video signal containing reflections from the illuminated eyes. A processor processes the video signal to determine a viewing location on the display surface at which the eyes are directed, and controls at least one function for how images are displayed on the display surface responsive to the determined viewing location.

Description

[0001] Cross-reference to related applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Patent Provisional Application Serial No. 61 / 532,875, filed September 9, 2011, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to an electronic entertainment system, in particular to a man-machine interface for controlling the entertainment system. Background technique [0004] The treatments described in this section are treatments that could be implemented, but are not necessarily treatments that have been previously conceived or implemented. Accordingly, the treatments contained in this section should not be deemed to be prior art and should not be admitted to be prior art except as indicated herein. [0005] Since 1995, automated gesture recognition has been the subject of extensive research. One purpose of gesture recognition is for machine control, as described in US Patent No. 5,594,469 to Freeman et al., ...
