Abstract: Provided is a system that includes an interactive casing and a GR device. The interactive casing receives a first signal based on activation of a masked electrical switch by release of a magnetic assertion when a lid member of an interactive casing is disengaged from a base member of the interactive casing. A first system state of the interactive casing is converted to a second system state. Audio-visual feedback is generated and a second signal is communicated to the GR device based on the conversion. Based on the received second signal, a first device state of the GR device is converted to a second device state. Power levels of a first power storage device of the interactive casing and a second power storage device of the GR device are maintained during the first system state and the first device state, respectively.

Abstract: A gesture-recognition (GR) device is disclosed that includes a capacitive touch sensor panel and a controller. The capacitive touch sensor panel comprises a plurality of sensing pads arranged in a cylindrical pattern inside a handle of the GR device and detects a multi-factor touch assertion at a set of sensing pads of the plurality of sensing pads. The controller transmits a driving signal to each of the plurality of sensing pads for the detection of the multi-factor touch assertion, generates an assertion signal, determines a signal sequence based on the assertion signal, and converts a current inactive state of the GR device to an active state based on a validation of the determined signal sequence corresponding to the multi-factor touch assertion and an inferred user intent.

Abstract: Provided is a gesture-recognition (GR) device that includes a printed circuit board (PCB) and a controller. The circuit board has an aspect ratio exceeding a threshold value that corresponds to at least a 70 percent difference between length and width of the PCB. The PCB includes a first unit and a second unit. The first unit corresponds to a base unit to be grasped by hand of a user. The second unit corresponds to an elongate unit that extends outward from the first unit. The second unit is characterized by a minimal wand form factor. A rigid strength of the second unit is based on at least a shape of an outer shell and a structural attribute of the second unit. The controller controls illumination of a plurality of light sources mounted on the second unit of the circuit board based on assertion signals.

Abstract: Provided is a gesture recognition (GR) device that includes a circuit board on which a plurality of light sources are mounted. A first light source is side-mounted at a tip of a second unit of the circuit board, and the set of second light sources is mounted at right angles at top and bottom surfaces of the second unit. A first pair from the set of second light sources is positioned adjacent to the side-mounted first light source. The plurality of light sources are controlled to generate multiple lighting effects for the tip based on assertion signals generated at a first unit of the circuit board. A first lighting effect corresponds to a directional beam generated by the first light source. A set of second lighting effects, which remains unblocked by the side-mounted first light source, corresponds to a multi-color illumination generated by the set of second light sources.
