Abstract:
Embodiments relate to use of proximity sensors to control a digital interface. More specifically, proximity detection and analysis of the sensors, and translating the proximity into one or more commands is utilized to control the interface. In various embodiments, a system is provided with a set of sensors operatively coupled to a secondary surface. The sensors are in communication with a hub positioned proximal to the sensors. The hub is configured to be in communication with a remote interface. Similarly, the remote interface is configured operatively coupled to a remote physical device (e.g. digital interface). As changes in the sensor position data are measured, the remote interface device communicates an action based on a set of rules. The action is communicated from the interface to the remote physical device and functions to physically transform a functional aspect of the device.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer system comprising:\n a first set of sensors including two or more sensors operatively coupled to a sensor hub, the first of the sensors, Si, fixed to a first location, a second of the sensors, Sj, fixed to a second location, and the hub fixed to a third location; the sensor hub in communication with a remote interface; the remote interface operatively coupled to a device; a tool in communication with the sensor hub to utilize sensor position data to interface with the device, including:\n measure an initial set of sensor positions, including a first distance between sensors, Si and Sj; \n measure, through sensors Si and Sj, a secondary characteristic associated with at least one of the sensors and assign the secondary characteristic to a secondary measurement and saving it as sensor metadata; \n associate a secondary rule with the metadata, wherein the secondary rule defines a translation between the secondary characteristic and the sensor position data; \n read a changed position of the sensors from the initial set of sensor positions, including a second distance between sensors Si and Sj; \n search a corpus with the secondary rule and the changed position data for evidence of at least one action matching the changed position; and \n select the at least one action, and communicate the at least one action, Aij, to a remote physical device, the at least one action to physically transform a functional aspect of the device.
