Description
The present invention relates to an image display device equipped with a multi-point motion sensing system for providing a complete non-interrupted viewing experience to the users.
Digital and interactive TV systems provide a comprehensive amount of TV features enriching every day. Considering the fact that a large number of television and multimedia services are being made available to consumers today, image display devices are provided with distinct features to enable a more satisfactory viewing experience for the users.
The viewing experience of the users can be improved by monitoring the user’s viewing position and detecting his departure from the viewing area. When the image display device senses the presence or departure of a person, various actions can be taken so as to automatically initiate or terminate functioning of the image display device by turning on or off the same.
Distance sensing capabilities are actively used in existing television systems. The distance sensing feature generally aims at allowing the user to control the image display device with hand gestures. According to the present invention, departure or presence of a person while watching TV can be sensed by a number of wired or wireless and built-in or separate sensors in signal communication with the image display device such that the user’s location being continuously monitored is used as an input to perform different functions.
Among others, one of the prior art disclosures in the technical field of the present invention may be referred to as US2011080529, which discloses a system for controlling operation of an electronic device, such as a TV. The system includes a first sensor located at or near the electronic device and a second sensor spaced apart from the first sensor, wherein the first and second sensors are configured to detect motion of a user within an operating zone associated with the electronic device. A processor is coupled to the electronic device and the first and second sensors, the processor being configured to receive a signal from the first and second sensors. Memory is coupled to the processor, the memory comprising a sensing algorithm configured to process the input signal from the first and second sensors and determine the location of the user with respect to the operating zone. The processor is configured to send a control command to the electronic device based on an output of the sensing algorithm.
The present invention, on the other hand, provides a system by which an image display device is capable of sensing presence and location of a person through a multi-point motion sensors for providing an uninterrupted complete watching experience for the user.
The present invention detects the motion of a person within a viewing zone of a number of sensors while the user is watching a broadcast program. The image display device comprising a number of sensors detects the motion, i.e. arrival or departure of a person in the viewing zone of the sensors so that the broadcast program can be interrupted to be continued as soon as the presence of the user is acknowledged again.
The present invention therefore provides a user presence and locational information sensing system for an image display device as provided by the characterizing features defined in Claim 1.
Primary object of the present invention is hence to provide a multi-point sensing system by which an image display device provides an uninterrupted watching experience for the user by detecting interruption of TV viewing by the users within the viewing zone of the multi-point sensing system.
The present invention proposes an image display device with at least two motion sensing devices, a control unit of the image display device effectuates pausing and simultaneous recording of a streaming broadcast program when the motion detecting devices detect a person leaving the TV viewing area or a moving person blocks the line of sight of a stationary person.
Locational information regarding the individual viewing zones of each motion sensing device is processed by a position calculation algorithm so that presence and motion of persons in the resultant viewing area is detectable. The control unit effectuates streaming of the recorded broadcast program when a person returns to a viewing area where no one exists or a moving person stops blocking the line of sight of a stationary person in the viewing area.
Accompanying drawings are given solely for the purpose of exemplifying an image display device equipped with a multi-point sensing system whose advantages over prior art were outlined above and will be explained in brief hereinafter.
The drawings are not meant to delimit the scope of protection as identified in the claims nor should they be referred to alone in an effort to interpret the scope identified in the claims without recourse to the technical disclosure in the description of the present invention.
Fig. 1 demonstrates a schematic view of an image display device with a pair of sensors on the left and right side of the image display device with respective viewing zones so as to detect presence and displacement of users within the boundaries of the viewing zones of the sensors according to the present invention.
Fig. 2 demonstrates a schematic view of the image display device with a multi-point sensing system while a first user is stable at a particular position and a second user is moving and blocking the line of sight of the first user according to the present invention.
Fig. 3 demonstrates a schematic view of the image display device with a multi-point sensing system while a first user is stable at a particular position and a second user is moving without blocking the line of sight of the first user according to the present invention.
Fig. 4 demonstrates a schematic view of the image display device with a multi-point sensing system while a first user is stable at a particular position and a second user is approaching towards the first user so as to block his line of sight according to the present invention.
The present invention proposes an image display device comprising a multi-point motion sensing system in connection with a control unit receiving location information signals from a number of motion sensing devices indicating position as well as position changes of persons in front of the image display device. A memory unit coupled to the control unit stores locational information including position changes of the persons within a resultant viewing area of the motion sensing devices. It is to be noted that the control unit of the image display device conventionally executes a position calculation algorithm such that locational information within the individual viewing zones of the motion sensing devices are used to obtain general locational parameters regarding the positions of a plurality of users in the resultant viewing area, i.e. in the area in front of the image display device.
According to the present invention, as will be delineated hereinafter, if the position calculation algorithm concludes that the line of sight of a user is blocked by another user or if a user leaves the resultant viewing area, an external or internal storage medium associated with the image display device is used while the broadcast program is paused and simultaneous recording of the program is initiated. Accordingly, interruption of the streamed program is avoided when the visual field is blocked by another person or when a person leaves the resultant viewing area.
The image display device comprises at least two motion sensing devices. By using two motion sensing devices on both ends of the image display device, it is possible to obtain information with respect to users’ position including position changes of the persons within the resultant viewing area of the motion sensing devices. The motion sensing devices can typically be positioned on the right and left sides of the image display device so as to scan and monitor the area directly in front of the image display device.
The motion sensing devices being in data communication with the control unit, permanent timeshift function is selectively activated to provide to the user a non-interrupted watching experience by way of recording the interrupted part of the broadcast program content to a storage medium, for instance when the user temporarily leaves the TV viewing room. Alternatively, the permanent timeshift function can be activated upon obstruction of the line of sight of a first user by a second moving user. In this case, similarly, the streaming program content is paused while simultaneously initiating recording of the streaming content.
The control unit may typically initiate certain calibration methods to be implemented by the user to calibrate and ameliorate the operating angles swept by the motion sensing devices. Therefore, a couch’s position as well as boundaries of the individual viewing zones of the motion sensing devices can be accurately determined to be recalibrated later at any time. The control unit, executing the position calculation algorithm, is configured to process signals from the motion sensing devices and thereby determines the location of the persons, either stationary or moving, within the resultant viewing area. The control unit triggers the permanent timeshift feature depending on the locational information signals received from the motion sensing devices.
The multi-point motion sensing system is automatically activated to monitor the resultant viewing area whenever the image display device is powered. The first and second motion detecting devices covering the right and left sides of the bezel of the image display device can be controlled and calibrated through the operating system interface in the settings menu of the device. Each motion sensing device detecting presence of a user or motion within the boundaries of an individual viewing zone, users’ locational information in the resultant viewing area is conventionally obtained by executing the position calculation algorithm based on the data obtained from both motion sensing devices.
In the case two or more persons watch TV and one user leaves the resultant viewing area, the motion of the moving user is sensed by the motion sensing devices on the right and left side of the TV. The motion sensing device positioned on the right side as well as the one on the left side will detect the person’s displacement within the resultant viewing area while he passes from a first recognized location to a second non-recognized outer location. The position calculation algorithm then determines whether the moving person will hinder the non-moving user’s sight and if so the control unit immediately effectuates pausing of the streaming program content.
The user may set a certain time duration as a predetermined threshold according to which the control unit initiates the permanent timeshift function as specified by the user. In other words, for instance interruption of the sight during a time period shorter than the specified time period will not trigger the permanent timeshift function.
The control unit triggers the permanent timeshift function after the specified time period of view blockage has elapsed upon which the streaming program is paused and the program being watched is recorded to the storage medium. The control unit then initiates the streaming of the program when the line of sight of the person is clear again. If on the other hand, the moving person will not hinder the non-moving user’s sight, the control unit does not effectuate pausing and recording of the streaming program content.
Activation of the permanent timeshift feature can be cancelled by the user by means of a remote control at the time of pausing or it is alternatively possible to fully inactivate the permanent timeshift function or change settings thereof through the operating system interface in the settings menu.
The system of the present invention is applicable based on a multi-point sensing multi-user context. The multi-point motion sensing system detects the number of persons within the resultant viewing area and dynamically analyses interaction of people to interrupt the line of sight of one another.
Alternatively, an infrared projector and camera may provide additional information to the multi-point motion sensing system for identification of the persons watching a TV program.
In summary, the present invention proposes an image display device comprising a multi-point motion sensing system with at least two motion sensing devices connected to the image display device and detecting presence and motion of at least one person in a viewing area for viewing the image display device, the image display device further comprising a control unit configured to perform an automatic pausing and recording function of a broadcast program.

Therefore, while the view on the screen is paused, the image display device starts in the background recording the broadcast program to be displayed later on.

In a further embodiment of the present invention, the control unit resumes automatic streaming of the recorded broadcast program from the paused state in response to a person returning to an empty viewing area. The control unit, depending on the settings may or may not initiate automatic streaming of the paused broadcast program if a number of persons are already present in the viewing area and another person joins them.
