Description

Description Title of the invention: Projector, connected object manager, direct neural interface, connected electronic equipment, projector initialization method and electronic equipment control method Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a luminous flux projector with a given frequency, a connected object manager, a direct neural interface, electronic equipment connected to the communication network, a projector initialization method and a method for controlling connected electronic equipment. In particular, the invention relates to interaction with electronic equipment by means of a direct neural interface. State of the art

[0002] Direct neural interfaces were introduced to make electronic equipment accessible to as many people as possible, especially people with physical disabilities.

[0003] Currently, electronic equipment must be equipped with a screen to reproduce a specific stimulus. This stimulus triggers the appearance of a particular signal, also called a visual evoked potential, in the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals when the subject is subjected to visual stimulation with this stimulus. Specific equipment, for example a BCI headset or "Brain Computer Interface" in English, that is to say a direct neural interface headset allowing the measurement of EEG signals, detects in these EEG signals a frequency that corresponds to the frequency of the visual stimulus.

[0004] Virtual and / or augmented reality headsets are also beginning to implement direct neural interfaces. Thus, a greater number of users, including those without disabilities, may be able to use the direct neural interface to facilitate and simplify interaction with electronic equipment, thus reducing, including for them, errors in interacting with the equipment.

[0005] However, direct neural interfaces only allow interaction with certain electronic equipment, also called BCI-compatible electronic equipment, manufactured specifically to be connected to a direct neural interface, such as a BCI headset, in particular to increase the accessibility of this BCI-compatible electronic equipment. In particular, this BCI-compatible electronic equipment must be equipped with a screen allowing the reproduction of visual stimuli with a given frequency and controller capable of controlling the electronic equipment according to the frequency received from the direct neural interface.

[0006] Electronic equipment that is not BCI compatible will not be able to be controlled by means of a neural interface, making its use more complex (thus causing interaction errors) for everyone, or even impossible for some people. In particular, electronic equipment capable of being controlled by one or more physical buttons (regardless of the type of physical button: push button, touch button, etc.) requires that the user can correctly manipulate these buttons, which may be prevented either by their disability, or because their hands are constrained either by clothing (for example, gloves) or by an object. Because of this impediment, the equipment may trigger an erroneous action, because either the user will have pressed the wrong button, or the user will not have pressed any button following a request from the equipment.

[0007] One solution is to use augmented reality to add neural interaction signals to non-BCI-compatible devices. The disadvantage of augmented reality is that it only allows neural interaction for one user, the one wearing the augmented reality glasses. Description of the invention

[0008] One of the aims of the present invention is to remedy drawbacks of the state of the art.

[0009] An object of the invention is a projector of a luminous flux with a given frequency in a given projection zone anchored on electronic equipment connected to a communication network, the projector being connected to a communication network, the given frequency being associated with a given command of the electronic equipment.

[0010] Thus, the projector allows the addition of neural stimulation to non-compatible electronic equipment, particularly those not equipped with a screen, available for multiple users.

[0011] Advantageously, the given command is identical to a given command triggered by a physical button on the electronic equipment.

[0012] Thus, a given command of electronic equipment can be controlled both by a physical button and by means of a neural interaction linked to the luminous flux diffused by the projector.

[0013] Advantageously, the projector comprises an identifier of the electronic equipment, the identifier providing an electronic equipment identifier according to which the given frequency is determined.

[0014] Thus, the projector can be used to produce neural stimulation for several separate electronic equipment and not just one, in particular when a user is moving while carrying the projector or for several electronic equipment in the same room, for example forming part of the projector's radiation zone.

[0015] Advantageously, the projector comprises a locator of the electronic equipment, the locator providing an electronic equipment position according to which the given projection area is determined.

[0016] Thus, neural interaction remains possible with several separate electronic devices and / or when the projector is portable.

[0017] Advantageously, the projector diffuses several light fluxes with distinct given frequencies.

[0018] Thus, a neural interaction is possible allowing several distinct commands given to one or more electronic devices.

[0019] Advantageously, the given frequencies are associated with given commands of several electronic equipments, each luminous flux being projected with a given frequency in the given projection zone around the electronic equipment of which a given command is associated with the given frequency among the predefined geographical zones around the electronic equipments.

[0020] Thus, neural interaction errors are reduced since the projection area by the projector that diffuses the visual stimulus (the luminous flux) for the direct neural interaction is positionally associated with the electronic equipment to be controlled. The user looking at the electronic equipment with which he wishes to interact therefore perceives at the same time the luminous flux diffused by the projector, which triggers an EEG signal with a neural frequency corresponding to the given frequency of the luminous flux diffused by the projector, itself associated with the given command of the physical button.

[0021] Advantageously, the projector is one of the following devices: - a component of a direct neural interface capable of capturing a frequency relative to a user during a projection of the light flux with the given frequency, in which the direct neural interface comprises a transmitter of captured neural frequency capable of triggering a given command of the electronic equipment associated with the given frequency of the light flux diffused by the projector, the emitted neural frequency being a function of the given frequency; - a fixed projector comprising a fixing on a fixed equipment relative to at least one electronic equipment; - a portable projector comprising a fixing on a portable equipment by a user.

[0022] Another object of the invention is a manager of objects connected to a communication network including at least one projector and electronic equipment, in in which the connected object manager comprises a coupler capable of associating a given frequency of a luminous flux diffused by a projector in a given projection zone anchored on electronic equipment connected to the communication network with a given command of the electronic equipment connected to the communication network.

[0023] An object of the invention is also a manager of objects connected to a communication network including at least one projector and electronic equipment, in which the manager of connected objects comprises a controller capable of controlling by means of a given command an electronic equipment connected to the communication network as a function of a neural frequency received from a direct neural interface during a diffusion of a luminous flux with a given frequency by the projector in a given projection zone anchored on an electronic equipment connected to the communication network, the neural frequency received being a function of the given frequency, the given frequency and the given command being associated.

[0024] Advantageously, the connected object manager includes the coupler and the controller.

[0025] An object of the invention is also a direct neural interface capable of capturing a frequency relative to a user during a projection of a luminous flux with a given frequency, in which the direct neural interface comprises a transmitter of the neuronal frequency captured via a communication network, the transmitter of the captured neuronal frequency being capable of triggering a given command of electronic equipment associated with the given frequency of a luminous flux diffused by a projector in a given projection zone anchored on electronic equipment connected to the communication network, the emitted neuronal frequency being a function of the given frequency.

[0026] An object of the invention is also electronic equipment connected to a communication network, in which the electronic equipment comprises an actuator capable of controlling a component of the electronic equipment according to at least one given command, the given command is a function of a neural frequency emitted by a direct neural interface during diffusion of a luminous flux with a given frequency by a projector in a given projection zone anchored on electronic equipment connected to the communication network, the emitted neural frequency is a function of the given frequency, the given frequency and the given command being associated.

[0027] An object of the invention is also a method of initializing a projector and electronic equipment connected to a communication network, in which the initialization method comprises an association associating a given frequency of a luminous flux diffused by a projector in a given projection zone anchored on electronic equipment connected to the communications network to a given command of electronic equipment connected to the communications network.

[0028] An object of the invention is furthermore a method for controlling electronic equipment, in which the control method controls, by means of a given command, electronic equipment connected to a communication network as a function of a neural frequency received from a direct neural interface during diffusion of a luminous flux with a given frequency by a projector in a given projection zone anchored on electronic equipment connected to the communication network, the received neural frequency being a function of the given frequency, the given frequency and the given command being associated.

[0029] Advantageously, according to an implementation of the invention, the different steps of the method according to the invention are implemented by software or computer program, this software comprising software instructions intended to be executed by a data processor of a device forming part of a connected object manager and being designed to control the execution of the different steps of this method.

[0030] The invention therefore also relates to a program comprising program code instructions for executing the steps of the method for initializing a projector and / or the method for controlling electronic equipment when said program is executed by a processor.

[0031] This program may use any programming language and may be in the form of source code, object code, or intermediate code between source code and object code, such as in a partially compiled form or in any other desirable form. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0040] [Fig.1] illustrates a simplified diagram of an architecture comprising a neural stimulator-projector and electronic equipment according to the invention.

[0041] The projector 1 diffuses a luminous flux l(fn) with a given frequency fn in a given projection zone z n , 26 n anchored on electronic equipment 2 connected to the communication network 3. The projector 1 is connected to the communication network 3. The given frequency fn is associated with a given command cmd n electronic equipment 2.

[0042] In particular, the given projection area z n is also referenced 26n when this is on the electronic equipment 2 to be controlled by means of a given command cmd n function of the given frequency fn with which the luminous flux l(fn) is in this given projection zone z n , 26 n .

[0043] In particular, the projector 1 comprises a diffuser 10 capable of emitting a luminous flux l(fn) carrying a visual signal sv(fn) with the given frequency fn. The visual projection device 10 is in particular a 2D, 3D, holographic, etc. projector and / or a targeted, 360° projector… The projector 1 diffuses a luminous flux of which at least one pixel varies, in particular by turning on and off, at at least one given frequency.

[0044] In particular, the projector 1, in particular the diffuser 10, diffuses a visual stimulus l(fn) with the given frequency corresponding to the reproduction of the visual signal sv(fn) with the given frequency in the form of the luminous flux l(fn). The visual stimulus l(fn) is perceptible, visible by a user U.

[0045] In particular, the given command is identical to a given command triggered by a physical button 21n of the electronic equipment.

[0046] In particular, the given projection area z n , 26 n is positionally associated, that is to say for example in terms of position, location, to the physical button 21n, in particular anchored on the physical button 21n. For example, if the electronic equipment- tronic is a lamp, the given projection area will be associated with the switch of this lamp.

[0047] Positional association means that the given projection area is placed, in terms of position, close to the physical button or the signage of the physical button with which it is associated. Positional proximity means that the given projection area is placed directly on the physical button, or at a distance from the associated physical button less than the distance to the physical button of the electronic equipment closest to the associated physical button, or, if the electronic equipment is equipped with several equipment placed on the same straight line, on a straight line perpendicular to this straight line passing through the associated physical button, etc.

[0048] Thus, BCI interaction errors are reduced since the projection area in which the projector diffuses the visual stimulus for the direct neural interaction is positionally associated with the physical button of the interaction to be triggered. The user therefore looking at the button with which he wishes to interact therefore perceives at the same time the luminous flux diffused by the projector in the given projection area associated positionally, which triggers an EEG signal with a frequency corresponding to the given frequency of the luminous flux diffused by the projector, itself associated with the given command of the physical button.

[0049] A conventional physical button operating in particular by physical pressure or sensitive detection, the projector according to the invention adds to the existing button a capacity for providing visual stimuli, in particular light, in particular by diffusing such a visual stimulus. The visual stimulus can be detected in the EEG signals by means of a direct neural interface, for example implemented in a BCI headset, the invention thus allows a user to interact with the electronic equipment as if interacting with the conventional physical button through an additional interaction modality. Thus, everything happens as if the user were activating the physical button without touching it, or even brushing it, only by using the EEG signals.

[0050] A physical button 21n is defined in contrast to a virtual button. The physical button 21n is in particular a push button, a touch button, an optical button, etc. The physical button 21n allows one or more commands to be triggered. In the case of a multi-command physical button, the multi-command button is in particular: - a toggle button between several contactors. For example, the toggle button is a toggle between two positions triggering two distinct commands that may be opposed: activation / deactivation of a component of the electronic equipment, or a cross button offering four positions triggering four distinct commands of the same type, in particular distinct movement commands: forward / backward / right / left movement, etc.; - a rotary knob between several distinct control positions: in particular different predefined values ​​of a given command: for example temperature, volume, etc. or several operating modes of the electronic equipment, and / or of a component of the electronic equipment, such as different operating modes of a connected oven: grill, fan-assisted heat, etc. or activation of a component of this connected oven: switching on the lamp, updating the clock, etc.

[0051] A distinct frequency will be associated with each position of the multi-control button. A first flux with a first frequency is diffused in a first given projection zone z1 associated with a first position of the multi-control button: the projector 1 will diffuse a first luminous flux l1(f1) with a first given frequency f1 distinct from the second given frequency f2 used to diffuse a second luminous flux l2(f2) by the projector 1 in a second given projection zone z2 associated with a second position of the multi-control button. The first given projection zone and the second given projection zone, and respectively the first position of the multi-control button and the second position of the associated multi-control button are distinct.

[0052] Alternatively, the given projection area z n , 26 nis associated positionally, that is to say for example in terms of position, location, to the component 24n of the electronic equipment 2 controlled by the given command fn, in particular anchored on this component 24n. For example, if the electronic equipment 2 is a lamp, the given projection zone will be associated with the bulb of this lamp (see examples of figures 5b, 5c).

[0053] In particular, the projector comprises an identifier of the electronic equipment, the identifier providing an electronic equipment identifier according to which the given frequency is determined.

[0054] In particular, the identifier is an identifier receiver capable of communicating directly with the electronic equipment to receive an identifier from the electronic equipment, for example via a local network such as Bluetooth, NFC, etc.

[0055] Optionally, the identifier includes a sensor and recognition means capable of capturing data relating to the electronic equipment: image, sound, incoming and / or outgoing data flow, etc. and identifying by recognition, in particular by means of artificial intelligence, by learning or by comparison with data recorded in a recognition database. Optionally, the identifier determines a category of electronic equipment to which the identified electronic equipment belongs.

[0056] Thus, the identifier makes it possible to determine the commands suitable for being implemented implemented by the electronic equipment from which at least one command will be selected to be associated with the given frequency: the given command.

[0057] In particular, the projector comprises a locator of the electronic equipment, the locator providing an electronic equipment position based on which the given projection area is determined.

[0058] In particular, the projector diffuses several light fluxes with distinct given frequencies.

[0059] In particular, the given frequencies are associated with given commands of several electronic equipments, each luminous flux being projected with a given frequency in the given projection zone around the electronic equipment of which a given command is associated with the given frequency among the predefined geographical zones around the electronic equipments.

[0060] In particular, the projector 1 is one of the following devices: - a component of a direct neural interface capable of capturing a frequency relative to a user during a projection of the light flux with the given frequency, in which the direct neural interface comprises a transmitter of captured neural frequency capable of triggering a given command of the electronic equipment associated with the given frequency of the light flux diffused by the projector, the emitted neural frequency being a function of the given frequency; - a fixed projector comprising a fixing 11 on a fixed equipment relative to at least one electronic equipment; - a portable projector comprising a fixing 11 on a portable equipment by a user.

[0061] In the case of a fixed projector 1, the attachment 11 comprises in particular a rotating platform on which the diffuser 11 is placed so that a luminous flux can be diffused towards several devices in the same room. In an alternative embodiment, the diffuser 11 allows a 360° diffusion of the luminous flux, or even of the luminous fluxes, at a given frequency.

[0062] In particular, when the projector 1 is a targeted projector, i.e. diffusing only a luminous flux on a given projection zone or luminous fluxes on given contiguous zones, the fixing 11 of the fixed projector 1 is capable of maintaining the projector 1 in relation with the electronic equipment 2, in particular in relation with the physical button 21n (see the example of [Fig.5a]).

[0063] Thus, the given projection area of ​​the luminous flux cannot move, limiting the interaction errors linked to the loss of the positional association of the given projection area with the physical button whose given command is associated with the given frequency fn of the luminous flux l(fn) diffused by the projector.

[0064] In the case of a portable projector 1, the attachment 11 allows in particular the attachment of the projector on a direct neural interface 4, in particular a BCI headset, augmented reality headset, equipment worn by the user, such as glasses, an earpiece, a cap, etc., or even directly on the user (the attachment is then a shoulder pad, a glasses frame, a headband and / or armband, etc.

[0065] Advantageously, the projector 1 comprises a rechargeable battery 12. In particular, the projector 1 can be connected for power supply to any electronic device such as the electronic equipment 2, a computer, a tablet, etc. in particular by means of a USB cable to be recharged, or even to an electrical outlet via a battery charger.

[0066] The electronic equipment 2 is connected to a communication network 3. The electronic equipment 2 comprises an actuator 20n capable of controlling a component 24n of the electronic equipment according to at least one given command, the given command is a function of a neural frequency emitted by a direct neural interface during diffusion of a luminous flux with a given frequency by a projector in a given projection zone anchored on electronic equipment connected to the communication network, the emitted neural frequency is a function of the given frequency, the given frequency and the given command being associated.

[0067] In particular, the actuator 20n is a processor 20n capable of executing processing based on at least one command.

[0068] In particular, the electronic equipment 2 comprises a power supply 22 for the projector 1 when the projector 1 is placed on, against or near the electronic equipment 2, in particular when the projector 1 is fixed in relation to the electronic equipment 2.

[0069] In particular, the power supply 22 implemented in the electronic equipment 2 recharges the battery 12 of the projector 1, in particular when the projector 1 is connected to the electronic equipment 2, for example, by cable, by induction, etc.

[0070] In particular, the power supply of the projector 22 is one of the following power supplies: - a power connector capable of being connected to the projector when the projector zone of the projector is associated with a physical button of the electronic equipment; - an induction charger capable of recharging a battery of the projector when the projection zone of the projector is associated with a physical button of the electronic equipment.

[0071] In particular, the projector 1 and the electronic equipment 2 are two distinct devices in that the projector 1 and the electronic equipment 2 are separate. By projector 1 distinct from the electronic equipment 2 is meant in particular the fact that electronic equipment 2 does not include, does not implement projector 1.

[0072] The direct neural interface 4 is capable of capturing a frequency f ecgrelative to a user U during a projection of a luminous flux l(fn) with a frequency given fn by . The direct neural interface 4 comprises an emitter 44 (not shown) of the captured neural frequency f ecg via a communication network 3. The transmitter of the captured neural frequency is able to trigger a given command cmd n of electronic equipment 2 associated with the given frequency of a diffused luminous flux l(fn) in a given projection zone z n , 26 n anchored on electronic equipment 2 connected to the communication network 3. The emitted neural frequency f ecg is a function of the given frequency fn.

[0073] In particular, the transmitter 44 of the direct neural interface 4 is a communication interface with the communication network 3.

[0074] In particular, the given frequency fn being associated with a given command cmd nof electronic equipment 2, the captured neural frequency f ecg corresponding to the given frequency fn of the visual signal sv(fn) reproduced by the diffusion of the luminous flux l(fn) viewed by the user U is therefore associated with this same command cmd n of electronic equipment 2. The captured neural frequency f ecg is therefore able to command cmd n electronic equipment.

[0075] In particular, the transmitter 44 is capable of providing the captured neuronal frequency f ecg relative to a user U during the diffusion of a luminous flux l(fn) with a given frequency fn by a projector connected to a communication network 3. The captured neuronal frequency f ecg is a frequency of a visual evoked potential signal in electroencephalogram signals of a user U.

[0076] A given frequency fn of diffusion of a luminous flux by a projector connected to a communication network 3 is associated with a given command cmd n of electronic equipment 2 connected to the communication network 3. The projector 1 and the electronic equipment 2 are distinct.

[0077] Eventually, the projection area z n , 26 n of the luminous flux diffused by the projector 1 is positionally associated with a physical button 21n of the electronic equipment 2. A manipulation of the physical button triggering the given command cmd n .

[0078] In particular, the diffuser 10 of the projector 1 emits a luminous flux with the given frequency l(fn) making it possible to reproduce a visual signal with the given frequency sv(fn).

[0079] When user U looks at a visual stimulus l(fn) resulting from the projection of the luminous flux l(fn) with the given frequency fn by the projector 1, a direct neural interface 4 captures a neural frequency f ecg relative to the user U. The captured neural frequency f ecg is a function of the given frequency fn, in particular they have the same value.

[0080] In particular, the direct neural interface 4 is implemented in a BCI headset or neural headset or even an augmented reality headset which then has EEG capabilities, i.e. capabilities for detecting electroencephalogram signals.

[0081] The direct neural interface 4 provides the captured neural frequency f ecg via the communication network 3. A given cmd command n function of the captured neural frequency is implemented by the electronic equipment 2.

[0082] Optionally, the electronic equipment 2 receives from an analyzer (not illustrated by [Fig.1]) as a function of the neural frequency emitted by the direct neural interface 4 and the couple, or even the triplet associating a given command and a given frequency (cmd n ,f n ), (cmd n ,fn,z n ), (cmd n ,fn,co n ) the given command cmd n The analyzer is notably implemented in a device of the communication network 3 separate from the projector 1 and / or the electronic equipment 2 and / or the direct neural interface 4.

[0083] The direct neural interface 4 implementing a projector thus makes it possible to easily associate one or more given projection zones for a given electronic device but also to associate projection zones with a large number of electronic devices. This increases the possibilities of equipping electronic devices (connected sockets, connected switches, hi-fi, connected speakers, home router, TV decoder, DVD player, connected household appliances, remote control, keyboard, bus stop call button, etc.) with neural interaction means, but above all the number of electronic devices equipped with neural interaction means in a place, such as a home, an office, etc. for several users, particularly in a nomadic mode, that is to say when the user equipped with the direct neural interface comprising a projector moves

[0084] In particular, the projector 1 is connected to the communication network 3 via a wireless local network such as Wifi, Bluetooth, Lora…

[0085] Projector 1 is therefore a neural stimulator. Therefore, projector 1 is also called projector-neural stimulator 1. Projector-neural stimulator 1 comprises an emitter 10, also called diffuser, of a luminous flux with the given frequency l(fn).

[0086] [Fig.2] illustrates a simplified diagram of an architecture comprising a manager of connected objects including a neural stimulator-projector and electronic equipment according to the invention,

[0087] The manager manages objects connected to a communication network including at least one projector and electronic equipment.

[0088] An object is understood to mean any solid thing considered as a whole, manufactured and intended for a certain use. A connected object is then an object capable of exchanging a signal via a home communication network (via a wired or wireless LAN network (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Lora, etc.) and / or remote network such as wired (ADSL, fiber, etc.) or wireless (4G, 5G, etc.) Internet with at least one electronic device such as a service delivery device.

[0089] Connected object means physical or virtual objects interconnected via at least one local and / or remote communication network to provide advanced services using information and / or communication technologies.

[0090] Communication network 3 being a remote or local, domestic network.

[0091] In particular, the projector 1 is connected to a so-called Internet of Things (IoT) network managed by the connected object manager 5. The IoT network is notably associated with a specific location, such as the user's home, a workshop and / or a company building, etc.

[0092] In particular, the connected object manager 5 comprises a coupler 50 capable of associating a given frequency fn of a diffused luminous flux l(fn) in a given projection zone z n , 26 n anchored on electronic equipment 2 connected to the communication network 3 to a given command cmd n of the electronic equipment 2. Optionally, the coupler 50 is capable of associating the given frequency fn, the given zone z n (including the location of the given area) and the given cmd command n .

[0093] In particular, the coupler 50 comprises a storage device 501 of pairs of given commands – given frequencies (cmd i , fi) i=1…n…N . The storage device 501 is a memory, a command base, etc.

[0094] In particular, the coupler 50 comprises a recorder 500 capable of storing the given command – given frequency pair (cmd n ,f n ), in particular in a storage device 501 of the connected object manager 50.

[0095] In particular, when the projector 1 is a portable projector and / or a 360° projector, the coupler 50 associates the given frequency fn, the given command cmd n and a given projection area z n , 26 n . The given projection zone zn is notably defined by coordinates co n(comprising, for example, the 2D or 3D position of the center of the projection area and / or a coverage radius of the projection area, or even the 2D or 3D position of a point on the periphery of the projection area and / or one or more dimensions of this periphery) .

[0096] In this case, the pairs are replaced by triplets given commands – given frequencies – given projection zones (cmd i , fi, co i ) i=1…n…N .Thus, the possible storage device 501 is a storage device 501 of triplets given commands – given frequencies – given projection zones (cmd i , fi, co i ) i=1…n…N , and the potential recorder 500 is capable of storing the triplet

[0097] given commands – given frequencies – given projection areas (cmd i , fi, co i ) i=1…n…N .

[0098] In particular, the projector 1 comprises a luminous flux beam modifier capable of modifying a direction and / or a width of a beam of luminous flux with a given frequency l(fn) diffused such that the beam of luminous flux with a given frequency covers only the given projection zone z n , 26 n The modifier is notably composed of mirrors and / or reflectors, and / or a motor allowing the diffuser 10 to be moved by rotation.

[0099] In particular, the connected object manager 5 comprises a controller 51 capable of controlling by means of a given command cmd n electronic equipment 2 connected to the communication network 3 according to a received neural frequency fe cg of a direct neural interface 4 during diffusion of a luminous flux l(fn) with a given frequency fn by the projector 1 in a given projection zone zn, 26 nanchored on the electronic equipment 2. The received neural frequency f ecg is a function of the given frequency fn. The given frequency fn and the given command cmd n are associated.

[0100] In particular, the controller 51 is capable of controlling electronic equipment 2 connected to the communication network 3 as a function of a received neural frequency fe cg of a direct neural interface 4 as soon as the user U of the direct neural interface 4 performs an action relative to a diffusion of a luminous flux l(fn) with a given frequency fn by the projector 1. The action performed by the user U is in particular to look at the visual stimulus resulting from the diffusion of a luminous flux l(fn) with the given frequency fn.

[0101] In particular, the controller 51 comprises an analyzer 510 capable of determining a given command cmd nof electronic equipment 2 as a function of a received neural frequency f ecg of a direct neural interface 4 during diffusion by the projector 1 of a luminous flux l(fn) with the given frequency fn associated with the given command cmd n .

[0102] In particular, the analyzer 510 requests from the storage device 501 the given command cmd n associated with a given frequency fn corresponding to the received neuronal frequency f ecg and provides the given command cmd n for electronic equipment 2.

[0103] In particular, the controller 51 comprises a transmitter 511 of commands intended for the electronic equipment 2, the command transmitter transmitting a given command cmd n associated with a given frequency fn corresponding to the received neuronal frequency f ecg .

[0104] In particular, the 510 analyzer provides the given command cmd nto the 511 command transmitter.

[0105] In particular, the connected object manager 5 transmits the given command cmd n to electronic equipment on an MQTT or “Message Queuing Telemetry” bus Transport" in English) using in particular a Wifi protocol, in particular when the connected object manager 5 is remote from the electronic equipment 2.

[0106] Optionally, the controller 51 comprises a trigger 511 capable of initiating the implementation and / or execution, by the electronic equipment 2, of a given command cmd n associated with a given frequency fn corresponding to the received neuronal frequency f ecg : cmd n (f ecg =fn).

[0107] In a first architecture (not illustrated), a first connected object manager 5' comprises the coupler 50' and a second object manager 5'' comprises the controller 51''.

[0108] Alternatively, in a second architecture illustrated by [Fig.2], a connected object manager 5 comprises the coupler 50 and the controller 51. In particular, the connected object manager 5 comprises: - the coupler 50 of given frequency fn of a luminous flux l(fn) diffused by the projector 1 at a given command cmd n of electronic equipment 2, and - the controller 51 of connected equipment according to a received neural frequency f ecg of a direct neural interface 4 during diffusion of a luminous flux l(fn) at the given frequency fn by the projector 1.

[0109] In particular, the connected object manager 5 comprises a transmitter 54 exchanging a signal i(fn), sv(fn) relating to the given frequency fn with the projector 1.

[0110] In particular, the signal relating to the given frequency fn is one of the following signals: - an indication signal i(fn) of the given frequency fn and / or of the coordinates co n of the given projection area z n , 26 n emitted by the connected object manager 5 to the projector 1; - a visual signal sv(fn) to be broadcast with the given frequency fn generated by the connected object manager 5 and emitted by the connected object manager 5 to the projector 1; - an indication signal i(fn) of the given frequency fn emitted by the projector 1 to the connected object manager 5.

[0111] In particular, the transmitter 54 comprises a transmitter 540 of the signal relating to the given frequency fn intended for the projector 1.

[0112] In particular, the transmitter 54 comprises a receiver 540 indicating signal i(fn) coming from the projector 1.

[0113] In particular, the connected object manager 5 comprises a generator 53 of visual signal sv(fn) with a given frequency fn. The visual signal thus generated sv(fn) is capable of being reproduced by . In particular, the generator 53 provides the generated visual signal sv(fn) possibly with an identifier of the destination projector idn to the transmitter 54, in particular to the transmitter 540.

[0114] A projector 1 is connected to a communication network 3 capable of diffusing a luminous flux l(fn) with a given frequency fn. In particular, the luminous flux makes it possible to reproduce a visual signal sv(fn). Optionally, the given frequency fn is associated by the connected object manager 5 with a given command cmd n of electronic equipment 2 connected to the communication network 3. The projector 1 is distinct from the electronic equipment 2.

[0115] Thus, electronic equipment 2 which is not equipped with a screen or other types of visual reproduction device can have a so-called BCI function added to it, i.e. a neural interface, by means of the projector and the connected object manager according to the invention.

[0116] In particular, the projector 1 comprises a diffuser 10 capable of emitting a luminous flux l(fn) with the given frequency fn. The diffuser 10 is in particular a 2D, 3D, holographic, etc. projector, and / or a targeted, 360° projector, etc.

[0117] The projector 1, in particular the diffuser 10, diffuses a visual stimulus l(fn) with the given frequency allowing a reproduction of a visual signal sv(fn) with the given frequency. The visual stimulus l(fn) is perceptible, visible by a user U.

[0118] The projector 1 includes in particular a receiver 14 capable of receiving:

[0119] - either the indication signal i(fn) of the given frequency fn emitted by the connected object manager 5 to the projector 1; - or the visual signal sv(fn) to be reproduced with the given frequency fn generated by the connected object manager 5 and emitted by the connected object manager 5 to the projector 1.

[0120] In particular, the projector 1 comprises a generator 13 of a visual signal sv(fn) with a given frequency fn, for example as a function of the given frequency fn received with the indication signal i(fn) of the given frequency fn coming from the object manager 5. The visual signal thus generated sv(fn) is capable of being diffused in the form of a luminous flux l(fn) by the projector 1. In particular, the generator 13 supplies the generated visual signal sv(fn) possibly to the diffuser 10.

[0121] In particular, the projector 1 and the electronic equipment 2 are two distinct devices in that the projector 1 and the electronic equipment 2 are separate. By projector 1 distinct from the electronic equipment 2 is understood in particular the fact that the electronic equipment 2 does not comprise, does not implement the projector 1.

[0122] In particular, the given command cmd n is identical to a given command triggered by a physical button 21n of the electronic equipment 2. The projection zone z n , 26 n of projector 1 is positionally associated ph_ass to the physical button 21n.

[0123] By positional association is meant the fact that the projection zone z n , 26 n data of the flux l(fn) with a frequency given by the projector 1 is placed in terms position, location, near the physical button or the signage of the physical button with which it is associated. By positional proximity is meant the fact that the projection zone z n , 26 n data of the flux l(fn) with a frequency given by the projector 1 is placed directly on the physical button, or even at a distance from the associated physical button less than the distance with the physical button of the electronic equipment closest to the associated physical button, or again, if the electronic equipment is equipped with several equipment placed on the same straight line, on a straight line perpendicular to this straight line passing through the associated physical button, etc.

[0124] Thus, BCI interaction errors are reduced since the projection area z n , 26 ngiven flux l(fn) with a frequency given by projector 1 which reproduces the visual stimulus for direct neural interaction is positionally associated with the physical button of the interaction to be triggered. The user therefore looking at the button with which he wishes to interact therefore perceives at the same time the luminous flux l(fn) diffused by projector 1, which triggers an EEG signal with a frequency corresponding to the given frequency fn of the luminous flux l(fn) diffused by projector 1, itself associated with the given command of the physical button.

[0125] A physical button 21n is notably a button as defined for [Fig.1].

[0132] A direct neural interface 4 is capable of capturing a frequency f ecg relative to a user U during a diffusion of a luminous flux l(fn) with a given frequency fn. The direct neural interface 4 comprises an emitter 44 (not illustrated) of the captured neural frequency f ecg to a connected object manager via a communication network3. The transmitter of the captured neural frequency is able to trigger a given cmd command n of an electronic device 2 associated with the given frequency fn of a luminous flux l(fn) diffused by a projector 1 to the communication network 3.

[0135] In particular, the transmitter 44 is a communication interface with the communication network 3 connected to the connected object manager 5.

[0136] In particular, the given frequency fn being associated by the connected object manager 5 with a given command cmd n of electronic equipment 2, the captured neural frequency f ecgcorresponding to the given frequency fn of the diffused luminous flux viewed by the user U is therefore associated with this same cmd command n of electronic equipment 2. The captured neural frequency is therefore able to command cmd n electronic equipment.

[0137] In particular, the transmitter 44 is capable of providing the captured neuronal frequency f ecg relating to a user U during the diffusion of a luminous flux l(fn) with a given frequency fn by a projector 1 connected to a communication network 3.

[0138] The captured neural frequency f ecg is a frequency of a visual evoked potential signal in electroencephalogram signals of a user U.

The projector 1 and the electronic equipment are separate.

[0140] Optionally, the projector 1 is positionally associated ph_ass with a physical button 21n of the electronic equipment. A manipulation of the physical button triggers the given command cmd n .

[0141] In particular, in parallel with the positional association ph_ass, the connected object manager 5 associates, in particular by means of a coupler 50, the given command cmd n corresponding to the physical button 21n at a given frequency fn usable by the projector 1 to diffuse a luminous flux l(fn) depending in particular on a visual signal sv(fn).

[0142] In particular, the connected object manager 5 transmits, in particular by means of a transmitter 54 and / or more particularly a transmitter 540, to the projector 1 the visual signal with the given frequency sv(fn) or an indication signal i, i(fn), i(fn,z n ), i(fn,co n ).

[0144] Let projector 1 be a fixed targeted projector and the given projection area z n , 26 n is then defined when positioning the projector 1 relative to the electronic equipment 2, or even to the physical button 21n.

[0145] Let projector 1 be a 360° projector and / or a portable projector and the given projection area z n , 26 n is then controlled by the diffuser 10 and / or a movement motor (not shown) of the diffuser in particular by rotation, etc. as a function of projection data coordinates co nassociated with the given frequency fn and the given command cmd n possibly provided by the connected object manager 5, in particular via an indication signal if(fn,z n ), i(fn,co n ).

[0146] When user U looks at a visual stimulus resulting from the diffusion of the luminous flux l(fn) with the given frequency fn by the projector 1, a direct neural interface 4 captures a neural frequency f ecg relative to the user U. The captured neural frequency f ecg and the given frequency fn have the same value.

[0147] In particular, the direct neural interface 4 is implemented in a BCI headset or even an augmented reality headset.

[0202] [Fig.5b] shows a simplified diagram of a second mode of use of a neural stimulator-projector according to the invention in which the neural stimulator-projector projects onto several electronic devices placed in a room.

[0203] The projector 1 is a fixed projector, possibly 360° as illustrated in Figure 5b, placed on a fixed piece of equipment in the room in which there is at least one piece of electronic equipment, , to which at least one neural interaction function is added. In the example of Figure 5b, the electronic equipment is a lamp, the electronic equipment is a television, and the electronic equipment is a hard disk and / or DVD media player / recorder.

[0204] The fixed projector 1 includes in particular a fixing 11 as described in [Fig.5a].

[0205] The projector 1 diffuses at least one luminous flux, respectively with a given frequency, respect- tively, and, associated with a given command, respectively, and, of a component of the equipment, respectively, and in a given projection area , respectively , and , also named when placed on electronic equipment , respectively Otherwise.

[0206] In the example of Figure 5b, the given frequency , respectively , and , of the luminous flux, respectively and projected into the given projection area, respectively, is associated with a given command of the lamp, respectively activation / standby of the television, increase of the volume of the television,… of switching to the next channel of the television, and activation / standby of the player / recorder, fast rewind of pause / play of the player / recorder,… of fast forward recorder.

[0207] When the projector 1 is targeted, it diffuses the light fluxes associated with one of the electronic equipment , , of the room, respectively associated with the second electronic equipment , associated with the second electronic equipment associated with the second equipment electronic, or successively (by scanning) the luminous fluxes associated with different electronic equipment, of the room, respectively associated with the second electronic equipment, associated with the second electronic equipment associated with the second equipment electronics,

[0208] Thus any user U equipped with a direct neural interface 4, such as a BCI headset, located or moving in the room will look at the light flux projected , respectively , associated posi- tionally to the electronic equipment, respectively, and, or even to a component, or to a physical button of this electronic equipment.

[0209] The given frequency, respectively, or, of the viewed light flux, , or, will trigger a visual evoked potential in the electroencephalogram signals whose frequency called neuronal frequency will be detected by the direct neuronal interface 4. The neuronal frequency is a function of the given frequency of the viewed light flux. The direct neuronal interface 4 transmits the detected neuronal frequency to at least one electronic device, , such that the electronic equipment , respectively or , of which a given command is associated with a given frequency of the observed luminous flux is controlled by the given command associated with the given frequency of which the detected neuronal frequency is a function.

[0210] In simplified terms, the user U, by looking at a luminous flux projecting a visual signal indicative of a given command near / on electronic equipment, controls by neural interaction the implementation of the given command in the electronic equipment.

[0211] The advantage of such a fixed projector 1 sweeping the room with light flux either simultaneously (360° projector) or successively (rotating projector) is to allow several users equipped with direct neural interfaces present in the room to be able to interact with the same electronic equipment or several separate electronic equipment present in the room.

[0212] [Fig.5c] shows a simplified diagram of a third mode of use of a neural projector-stimulator according to the invention in which the neural projector-stimulator is fixed on, or even integrated into, the direct neural interface worn by the user.

[0213] The projector 1,41 is a portable projector carried by a user U equipped with a direct neural interface 4. Optionally, the direct neural interface 4 is capable of fixing a projector 1 on the direct neural interface 4 or comprises a projector 41. Thus, the projector 1,41 allows the user U moving in a room or in several rooms to have neural interaction with not only several electronic devices in the same room but also in separate rooms, or even separate buildings.

[0214] Thus, a moving user U passes, in a first time t1, in front of a first piece of electronic equipment, in this case a lamp, then sits down later, in a second time t2 distinct from the first time t1, in front of a second electronic equipment, in this case a television to which at least one neural interaction function is added.

[0215] The projector 1,41 diffuses at least one luminous flux in the first time t1, and respectively in the second time t2, with a given frequency, respectively, associated with a given command, respectively, of a component of the equipment, respectively, in a given projection zone, respectively, also named when it is placed on the electronic equipment, respectively otherwise

[0216] In the example of Figure 5c, the given frequency , respectively , of the luminous flux , respectively , projected into the area of given projection, respectively, is associated with a given command for switching on / off the lamp, respectively for activating / putting the television on standby, for increasing the volume of the television, etc. for switching to the next channel of the television.

[0217] Thus any user U equipped with a direct neural interface 4, such as a BCI headset, facing the lamp in the first time t1 will look at the projected luminous flux , respectively facing the television in the first time t2 a projected luminous flux, positionally associated with the electronic equipment, respectively, or even with a component or a physical button of this electronic equipment.

[0218] The given frequency, respectively, of the viewed light flux, will trigger a visual evoked potential in the electroencephalogram signals whose frequency called neuronal frequency will be detected by the direct neuronal interface 4. The neuronal frequency is a function of the given frequency of the viewed light flux. The direct neuronal interface 4 transmits the detected neuronal frequency to at least one electronic equipment, such that the electronic equipment, respectively, of which a given command is associated with a given frequency of the viewed light flux is controlled by the given command associated with the given frequency on which the detected neuronal frequency is a function.

[0219] In a simplified manner, in a first time t1, the user U passing in front of the lamp while looking at a luminous flux projecting a visual signal indicative of a given command near / on the lamp controls by neural interaction the activation implementation of the command given by the lamp. Then, in a second time t2, the user U installed in front of the television watching a luminous flux projecting a visual signal indicative of a command given near / on the television controls by neural interaction the implementation of the command given by the television.

[0220] The advantage of such a portable projector is that it allows several users equipped with direct neural interfaces present in several rooms in which the user equipped with the portable projector is located to be able to interact with the same electronic equipment or several separate electronic equipment present in the room.
