Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining a user activity include or define a plurality of baseline signatures, each baseline signature corresponding to a type of user activity and having data formed from a first data representing a varying static electric field and a second data representing motion. Data responsive to a varying static electric field is obtained from a first sensor, and data responsive to motion is obtained from a second sensor. The first data is combined with the second data, and the user activity is identified based on a comparison of the combined first and second data with the plurality of baseline signatures.

Abstract: A method, system and devices provide for transmitting, by a first device, a body area network (BAN) session initiation signal indicating an availability to establish an on-body communication with a second device. At least one BAN acknowledgement signal is received by the first device from the second device. The first device determines whether one of the at least one BAN acknowledgement signal is received via conducting across a body. The first device proceeds with BAN session initiation based on determining that one of the at least one BAN acknowledgement signal is received via conducting across a body and terminates BAN session initiation based on not determining that one of the at least one BAN acknowledgement signal is received via conducting across a body.

Abstract: Determining the location of a body area network enabled device on a user's body and using the location information to determine whether to send instructions or data to the device over the body area network, includes integrating an EMG sensor into a device that is wearable or otherwise meant to be in contact with or close proximity to an intended area of a user's body. The integrated EMG sensor may detect the electrical potential of the user's body at the point of contact. Variance of electrical potential across the user's body may be used to determine information regarding the location of the sensor, and thus, the location of the device on the user's body. The location of the device, in turn, may be used to determine whether to send instructions or data to the device over the body area network.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a proximity-sensitive touch sensor array which extends along an input surface of the electronic device and a processing device coupled to the touch sensor array. The processing device is configured to process data captured by the touch sensor array to determine a finger angle at which a finger is directed towards the input surface and an actuation position on the input surface. The processing device is configured to establish an offset-corrected actuation position as a function of the actuation position and the finger angle.

Abstract: A device comprising a display, a predictive input system coupled to the display and configured to store zone data indicating zones of the display, wherein each zone constitutes a portion of a display area; store predictive parameter data, wherein each zone is assigned a subset of predictive parameter data, wherein each subset indicates at least one of a look-ahead prediction value that indicates a time period corresponding to how far in the future a predictive user input pertains, an indication of a particular prediction algorithm, or at least one value used by the particular prediction algorithm, and wherein at least two zones of the display have different values for the subsets of predictive parameter data; receive input data via the display; determine the zone in which the input data is received; and generate prediction data based on the input data, the zone data, and the subset of predictive parameter data.

Abstract: A device for weighing a user includes a weight sensor that determines a weight of the user, and a bare feet image sensor that generates an image of the bare feet of the user. The device includes a processor that is responsive to the weight sensor and to the bare feet image sensor and executes computer program instructions to perform operations such as identifying a provisioned user out of one or more provisioned users based on the image of the bare feet of the user standing on the device. A database stores information associated with the image of the bare feet of one or more provisioned users of the device. The weight of the user associated with the identified provisioned is stored. Related devices and methods are provided.
