    摘要: A peripheral device with an adaptive scroll wheel can be used to provide additional control of a host computing device. A variable force is used to change friction on the adaptive scroll wheel for different situations. Examples include stopping a scroll wheel at an end of a document, changing a number of ratchet steps based on a number of items on a list, and changing scroll profiles based on application, such as a scroll profile for document processing and a scroll profile for gaming.

    摘要: A method can include intercepting a command generated by a computer peripheral device; determining a function corresponding to the command; generating a lighting output schema configured to be output on one or more visual output elements on the computer peripheral device based on the determined function; identifying, based on the determined function, whether a second software component can accept the command; and in response to determining that the second software component can accept the command, sending the intercepted command to the second software component. The method can further include requesting confirmation data from the second software component that indicates whether the second software component can perform the determined function; receiving the confirmation data; and in response to the confirmation data indicating that the second software component cannot perform the determined function, preventing the intercepted command from being sent to the second software component at the intended destination.

    摘要: The present disclosure generally provides an apparatus and method of controlling an audible signal generated by an audio device to improve the sound quality of the generated audible signal and/or sound quality perceived by a user. In some embodiments, the audio device is able to improve the sound quality generated by the audio device that is generating audible sound based on any type of audio signal. The processes described herein allow the audible signal processor to determine the acoustic fingerprint of the environment in which the audio device is positioned, and thus by use of the method steps disclosed herein to optimize the sound quality in one or more frequency bands of a generated audible signal in real time based on the determined acoustic fingerprint.

    摘要: A method includes detecting an object in in proximity with the a peripheral device such that the object is located in a position indicative of light generated by one or more visual output elements of the peripheral device being obfuscated from a user; determining an obfuscation area defining a boundary of an area being obfuscated; determining a current output schema displayed on a set of visual output elements; determining a current visual output area defining a boundary of the current output schema; determining a location of the obfuscation area; determining a location of the current visual output area; determining an amount of overlap between the obfuscation area and the current visual output area based on their corresponding determined locations; and in response to the amount of overlap being greater than an overlap threshold value: reconfiguring the current output schema to be displayed on a different set of visual output elements.

    摘要: In certain embodiments, a gaming pedal assembly comprises a base platform and a pedal arm rotatably coupled to the base platform at a first mounting location that provides a first axis of rotation for the pedal arm relative to the base platform. The gaming pedal assembly further includes a piston assembly having a resistance profile, the piston assembly coupled to the pedal arm at a coupling location that provides a second axis of rotation for the piston assembly relative to the pedal arm. The piston assembly is rotatably coupled to the base platform at a second mounting location that provides a third axis of rotation for the piston assembly relative to the base platform. The piston assembly compresses according to the resistance profile of the piston assembly in response to a user interface region of the pedal arm receiving a pressing force.

    摘要: Some embodiments include a computer-implemented method for tracking a gaze of a user that can include receiving image data that includes a plurality of eye landmarks that identify a perimeter of a user's eye, applying dynamic thresholding to the image data, determining a convex hull based on the dynamically thresholded and image data, computing and fitting an ellipse along a boundary of the convex hull, the ellipse corresponding to an iris of the user's eye, updating the image data with the computed ellipse, computing a refined ellipse by reapplying the dynamic thresholding and determining the convex hull using the updated image data, and determining a gaze direction of the user based in part on a position of the refined ellipse relative to the perimeter of the user's eye.
