Description
本申请是申请日为2011年1月14日、申请号为201180035413.8、发明名称为“方向感知性信息共享”的发明专利申请的分案申请。
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请涉及2008年1月21日提交且标题为“使用手持型装置的数据传送(Data Transfer Using Hand-Held Device)”的美国专利申请号12/017,294,其公开内容以引用方式并入本文中。
技术领域
本发明大体涉及共享信息。更具体来说,本发明涉及方向感知性(direction-conscious)信息共享。
背景技术
能够通过多种类型连接(例如,小区、蓝牙(Bluetooth)、因特网)进行通信的电子装置正变得越来越普遍。这样的装置的实例可包括移动电话、智能电话、个人数字助理(PDA)、便携式计算装置、便携式电子邮件装置和手持型游戏装置。尽管这些装置的连接性已得到增加,但从一个装置到另一装置传送文件的过程仍然低效且复杂。
当前可用的使用移动装置共享数字信息的方法包括发电子邮件、文本消息传递和实时消息传递。这样的方法通常需要输入或参考电子邮件地址、电话号码或其它唯一识别符。用于共享信息的其它方法可包括使用物理(例如,有线)、红外线、蓝牙或其它类型的连接。这样的连接可能需要专门的设备或验证协议,且可能因此对于自发使用或与其它活动同时使用来说不方便且繁杂。
共享信息的另一方式允许用户使用已与另一装置联网的装置上的浏览器或菜单查找文件的目的地。接着可用鼠标使用“拖放”操作或使用一系列键盘命令、选自菜单的命令、触摸命令或另一类型的命令来传输所述文件。这样的文件传输通常需要配置、验证及以其它方式设置每一装置以便彼此通信。
另一选项可为使用“碰撞”(bump)方法来在彼此碰撞的两个装置之间交换联系人信息。碰撞依赖于以下能力:检测彼此非常接近的两个装置的碰撞移动、识别(identify)每一装置,和在所述装置之间交换信息。然而,这样的解决方案限于具有加速计以检测移动的装置、彼此非常接近以能够碰撞的用户,和邻近区域中没有其它人正碰撞其装置的情形。在一个或多个用户正致力于执行需要很大注意力的其它任务的情况下(例如,在玩游戏期间),需要碰撞的物理动作也可能是困难的。另外,碰撞可能进一步需要用户先前已经用要被共享的信息填写了联系人卡片。尽管预先填写对于仅极少改变的信息(例如,联系人信息)是有用的,但其对于发送对时间敏感的信息和在忙碌中发送信息是不方便的。
因此,需要用于信息共享的改进的系统和方法。
发明内容

根据本发明的再一个方面,提供了一种非瞬态计算机可读存储介质,其上包含程序,该程序可由处理器执行来进行方向感知性信息共享方法,该方法可以包括:接收信息,该信息是从发送装置无线发送的,发送装置在接收装置的附近;以及确定方向,该方向是发送装置相对于接收装置的方向。

在一些情况下,可能存在可接收所指定信息的多个装置。因而,可以基于例如以下因素识别接收方:对准、接近性、共同网络、共同游戏会话、存在于包括或排除列表上、发送方选择,或先前通信。
本发明的各种实施方案可进一步包括用于方向感知性信息共享的装置。这些装置可包括:存储器,用于存储可与其它装置共享的信息;接口,用于接收指定将被共享的信息和相对于所述装置的方向的用户输入;和处理器,用于执行存储在存储器中用于识别在相对于所述装置的所指定方向上的目标区域中的接收计算装置的指令。所述装置可进一步将所指定的信息发送到所识别的接收方,所述信息可包括指示所述装置相对于接收装置的方向的通知。

具体实施方式
本发明的实施例提供方向感知性信息共享的系统和方法。接收指定将被共享的信息和相对于发送装置的方向的用户输入。将接收装置识别为位于相对于发送装置的所指定方向上的目标区域中。将所指定的信息发送到所识别的接收装置,所述信息包括用以允许接收装置产生通知的数据,所述通知指示发送装置相对于接收装置的方向。
图1A说明用于方向感知性信息共享的示例性装置100。装置100包括外壳102和可供显示各种类型信息的显示器104。在图1的说明中,表示特定信息的图标106包括于显示器104中。
装置100可为许多种不同电子装置中的一个,这些电子装置诸如移动电话、智能电话、个人数字助理(PDA)、便携式计算装置、便携式电子邮件装置和手持型游戏装置。装置100可进一步与以下系统相关联或附属于以下系统:电子游戏系统、通用计算机、机顶盒、蓝光播放器,或家庭娱乐装置,诸如来自索尼计算机娱乐公司(SonyComputer Entertainment Inc.)的3以及许多便携式媒体装置中的任何一个,诸如便携式游戏机(PlayStation Portable,),包括同样来自索尼计算机娱乐公司的Go系统。
装置100可被配置来适当地管理来自诸如存储卡或磁盘驱动器的存储介质的数据。装置100同样包括能够进行以下操作的任何装置:通过网络或通过一些其它通信操作来接收数据,所述其它通信操作诸如与另一计算装置经由特用(ad hoc)通信网络的同步操作;将内容在本地存储在装置100处或存储在耦接到装置100的存储装置处;以及与被配置来用于交换数据的其它装置交换数据。
安置在装置100的外壳101的一侧上的显示器104可包括一个或多个屏幕。显示器104的每一屏幕可为平板显示器(例如,液晶显示器(LCD)阵列)、触摸屏或本领域中已知的任何其它类型的显示屏。在显示器104可包括触摸屏的情况下,这种触摸屏可以基于任何适当触摸屏技术,诸如电阻性、表面声波(SAW)电容性、红外线、应变计、光学成像、分散信号技术、声脉冲辨识、受抑全内反射或基于磁致伸缩技术来定位手写笔尖端的图形输入板。电阻性触摸屏面板可包括例如由窄的空间区域隔开的若干层薄的、金属性、导电和电阻性材料。当某个物体接触触摸屏时,所述层可在接触点处连接。显示器104接着可在电学上以与具有连接的输出的两个分压器类似的方式运作,由此记录所述接触。进一步处理可确定所记录的接触在特定接触点处的有效性。
图标106可包括任何形式的信息,包括文本、图形、照片、动画、音频和视频。图标106所表示的内容可包括例如联系人信息、文档、音乐文件、视频文件和与某类型的活动特定地相关联的内容(例如,游戏信息)。游戏信息可包括定制信息、与游戏人物、武器、附件、评分、游戏记录有关的信息和与特定游戏有关的代码。
图1B是说明用于方向感知性信息共享的示例性装置100的部件的框图。如图1B中所说明的装置100的部件包括接口108、运动传感器110、装置检测器112、处理器114、输入/输出116、电源118、时钟120、罗盘122、GPS芯片124、高速缓冲存储器126、大容量存储装置128和存储器130。所述部件可经由系统总线132彼此通信。
接口108可被配置来促进装置100与其它装置之间的通信。经由接口108的通信可通过无线连接发生,所述无线连接可包括无线通信网络、光学或红外线链路、诸如的射频链路。无线通信网络可为本地专属网络(例如,内部网络),和/或可为较大广域网的一部分。无线通信网络可为局域网(LAN),所述局域网可以通信的方式连接到诸如因特网的广域网(WAN)。因特网是互连的计算机和服务器的广泛网络,其允许在通过网络服务提供商而连接的用户之间传输和交换因特网协议(IP)数据。网络服务提供商的实例有公共交换电话网络、有线服务提供商、数字订户线(DSL)服务提供商,或卫星服务提供商。
运动传感器110可基于用于跟踪装置100的位置和/或定向的任何适当工具来检测由用户导致的装置100的运动。运动传感器110可并有例如惯性传感器(例如,加速计、倾斜传感器)、声传感器(例如,声源和麦克风阵列)或光学传感器(例如,摄像机)。在运动传感器110使用例如6轴加速计的情况下,可以通过获得对应于沿垂直x轴、y轴和z轴的平移加速和绕这些轴中的每一个的旋转的指示符来跟踪装置100的运动。加速信号可进一步加以积分,一次积分用来确定速度的变化,二次积分用来确定位移。
装置检测器112允许检测在装置100附近的一个或多个其它装置。装置检测可以基于视觉检测,其中装置100与处于合理地紧密接近范围内的另一装置之间的视线不被阻挡。装置检测也可以基于与另一装置相关联且传达到装置100的唯一识别符(identifier)。装置检测器112可包括用于读取另一装置的唯一射频识别(RFID)标签(identification tag)的RFID读取器、用于读取另一装置的唯一条形码的条形码读取器,或使得能够在视觉上辨识另一装置或另一装置的标记的摄影机。在一些情况下,所述另一装置可经由无线通信链路传达识别符。所述识别符可专门针对特定应用或网络(例如,游戏或游戏网络),且进一步与虚拟形象相关联。这样的识别符可由其它装置常规地提供或响应于从装置100发送的查询而提供。
在一些情况下,由装置检测器112收集到的信息可用以产生与装置100邻近的其它装置的地图。这种地图可显示在装置100的显示器104上。在其它装置将包括虚拟形象信息的识别符发送到装置100的情况下,所述地图可并有这些虚拟形象以指示相关联装置的相对位置。
接口108、运动传感器110和/或装置检测器112的一些功能可共享或联合操作。例如,基于红外线的收发器可用以感测运动,以及提供通信链路。类似地,摄影机可由运动传感器110和装置检测器112两者用以跟踪外壳的运动并识别远程装置。
装置100还可包括本领域中所熟知的其它部件,诸如处理器114、输入/输出(I/O)元件116、电源118、时钟120、罗盘(或磁力计)122、GPS芯片124、高速缓冲存储器126、大容量存储装置128和存储器130。处理器114可用以执行程序、例行程序和指令以执行各种功能。在一些实施例中,装置100可包括并行操作的多个处理器114。作为实例,装置100可被配置来用作游戏装置、电话、便携式媒体播放器、电子邮件装置或网页浏览器装置。
取决于装置100的类型,输入/输出元件116可包括键盘、小键盘、触摸板、按钮、鼠标、轨迹球或操纵杆。输入/输出元件116可进一步包括手势辨识工具,所述手势辨识工具可进一步结合显示器104(例如,触摸屏)和/或运动传感器110而操作。这些手势辨识工具可用以辨识例如由用户在显示器104上进行的轻击、划过或拖曳指示对图标(例如,图标106)的选择和用户希望图标移动的方向。手势辨识(gesture recognition)还可使用由装置100的用户提供的样本运动数据。可从这种样本运动数据确定与运动的速度、压力和移动区域有关的基线值。可在预定数目个样本上计算变化。可基于从基线值的这些变化来计算用于辨识特定手势的阈值。
图2A说明用于方向感知性信息共享的方法的示例性实施。在图2A中,说明四个装置210A至210D。希望与另一装置(例如,接收装置210B)共享信息的一个装置(例如,发送装置210A)的用户可选择表示此信息的图标,且在接收装置210B的方向上执行定向手势(例如,轻击或划过)。在图2A的说明中,图标展示于发送装置210A的显示器上。提供箭头以指示示例性手势的方向。当检测到定向手势时,可以也可以不在发送装置210A的显示器104中产生箭头的图形显示。
目标区域220可在所述定向手势的方向上相对于发送装置210A加以界定。目标区域220可进一步界定为处于与发送装置210A的特定接近性范围内。所述接近性可与定向手势的速度(或其它特性)相关,使得快速手势可比慢速手势产生更大目标区域。虽然图2A中所说明的目标区域220涵盖仅一个装置(接收装置210B),但有可能目标区域220涵盖多个装置。
在目标区域220涵盖多个装置的情况下,可考虑额外因素来识别所希望的接收装置。这些因素可包括与所指定方向的对准、包括或排除于由发送装置210A的用户界定的列表(例如,朋友列表)、从装置检测器112所产生的地图中选择、共享的网络连接、共享的游戏会话、先前通信,和对装置能够接收所指定的信息的确认。在不能以任何确定性将潜在接收方减少到一个的一些情况下,可从发送方请求额外确认。
在一些情况下,潜在的接收装置中的一个可能正在移动。因而,在用户发起定向手势时最初处于所界定目标区域220中的装置可能在所述手势完成时移出目标区域220。因此,在确定可能的接收装置在移动的情况下,可重新界定目标区域220以涵盖正移动的装置可能所在的区域。可基于新位置(例如,GPS)信息判定新位置,或基于先前位置信息估计(例如,推测(dead reckoning))新位置。
移动的一个结果是,发送装置210A与所希望的接收装置210B之间的视线可能被挡住或以其它方式被阻挡。在这样的情况下,某些形式的通信可能变得困难或不可能。因而,发送方可能希望允许通过可与所希望的接收装置210B通信的中间装置或同等装置来进行传输。
一旦识别到接收装置210B,即可将信息包发送到所识别的接收装置210B。所述包可包括关于所指定信息的传输以及所指定信息本身或到所指定信息的链接的通知。另外,所述包可进一步包括表示所指定信息的图标106、发送装置210A的识别符和发送所述包的方向(例如,发送装置210A相对于接收装置210B的方向)。在图2A的说明中,接收装置210B的显示器包括表示信息包的图标和指示所述包所来自的方向的箭头。接收装置210B的显示器可进一步包括图标从适当方向飞入的动画表示。
图2B说明用于方向感知性信息共享的方法的替代实施。如关于图2A所提及,接收装置210B所接收的信息包包括发送所述包的方向的指示。确定方向的一个方式包括使用每一装置(例如,发送装置210A和接收装置210B)中的罗盘122来识别哪一方向为北方,由此使得能够确定每一装置相对于北方的定向(orientation)。虽然本文为简单起见而将定向判定描述为相对于指向北方的矢量进行计算,但也可以相对于其它方向确定定向。
大体上,可基于发送装置210A和接收装置210B的相应定向来确定传入包的相对角度(角度230C)。虽然一些实施例可能需要发送装置210A定向于或面向接收装置210B(或接收装置210B定向于或面向发送装置210A),但两个装置之间的矢量的方向大体上可通过由发送方执行的定向手势来指定。例如,第一角度230A可通过从发送装置210A指向北方的矢量和从发送装置210A指向接收装置210B的另一矢量来形成。
另外,第二角度230B可通过从接收装置210B指向北方的矢量和从接收装置210B指向接收装置210B所面向的方向的另一矢量来形成。为了确定发送包的方向(例如,角度230C),用180°减去第一角度230A,将差加到第二角度230B。从自接收装置指向接收装置所面向的方向的矢量来测量角度230C。可在发送装置210A与接收装置210B之间交换关于角度230A和230B的信息,使得各自可计算角度230B,由此使得能够确定发送包的方向。因此,发送装置210A可发送指定该方向的信息或简单地提供可供接收装置210B确定方向的信息。
图2C说明另一替代网络环境,其中可实施用于方向感知性信息共享的方法。确定传入包的方向的另一方式依赖于获得发送装置210A和接收装置210B的位置信息(例如,由GPS确定)。例如,界定从发送装置的位置到接收装置的位置的第一矢量。将第二矢量界定为从发送装置的位置指向北方。计算第一矢量与第二矢量的点积,且确定所述点积的反余弦。点积的结果提供角度230D的大小。可以从指向北方的矢量来测量角度230D以提供信息包的方向。在存在可能包括于目标区域220中的多个装置的情况下,识别接收装置的一个方式是计算每一装置的角度,且选择具有最小角度(与所指定方向最为对准)的装置。
图3是说明用于方向感知性信息共享的示例性方法的流程图。在所述方法中,由发送装置接收指定信息和方向的输入。在所指定的方向上界定目标区域。确定位于所界定的目标区域中的一个或多个装置。识别特定的接收装置。确定发送装置相对于接收装置的方向。将通知发送到接收装置。
在步骤310中,接收指定信息和发送所述信息的方向的输入。为指定信息,发送装置210A的用户可从发送装置210A的显示器104选择表示此信息的图标106。为执行方向,所述用户可划过、轻击、拖曳或执行指示用户希望发送信息的方向的某一其它定向手势。
在步骤320中,在所指定方向上界定目标区域220。可基于目标区域220与发送装置210A之间的距离的目标区域220的大小可取决于发送装置210A的装置检测器112的范围。或者,所述距离可设定于预定距离、基于网络考虑而自动设置或基于用户偏好。在一些情况下,目标区域220也可基于本地网络(例如,Wifi网络),使得目标区域220可涵盖已连接到本地网络的所有装置。
在步骤330中,确定位于目标区域220中的一个或多个装置。可由发送装置210A的装置检测器112来检测这些装置。可基于如下因素而将目标区域220中的一些装置排除在可能的接收方之外:不能接收或处理通信、通信偏好/条件和包括或排除于特定列表。发送装置210A可能表达或先前已表达在所指定方向上将所指定信息发送到一个或多个装置的偏好。例如,作为团队一员玩多人在线游戏的发送方可能希望将信息广播到紧密邻近的团队成员。因而,发送方可能表达将通信发送到属于由发送方创建或参考的名册上所列出的团队成员的任何装置的偏好。或者,发送方可能已表达通信仅到达一个接收方的偏好。
在步骤340中,识别接收装置210B。如果目标区域220仅包括一个装置,且发送装置210A未表达关于接收装置210B的身份的任何偏好或条件,那么可能易于识别接收装置210B。然而,在存在多个装置的情况下,或在存在若干条件的情况下,可考虑额外因素,包括对准、接近性、共同网络、共同游戏会话、存在于包括或排除列表上、发送方选择或先前通信。
在步骤350中,确定指示所指定信息的起始方向的方向。可基于发送装置210A和接收装置210B的相应定向(关于图2B详细描述)或基于发送装置210A和接收装置210B的相应位置信息来确定方向。
在步骤360中,将通知发送到接收装置210B。所述通知可包括于信息包中,所述信息包可伴有正发送信息的发送的装置210A的方向的指示。此指示可为箭头或动画效果,其中图标表现为从发送装置210A的方向进入屏幕。所述通知可额外包括所指定的信息本身或到信息的链接。在一些情况下,所述信息可以是加密的或需要密码或其它类型的验证来存取所述信息。
本发明可实施于可使用各种最终用户装置操作的应用中。本文描述的本发明方法充分希望可在各种装置上操作。本发明还可在跨标题中立的情况下实施,其中可跨来自不同发布方的各种标题来利用本发明。
计算机可读存储介质是指参与提供指令到中央处理单元(CPU)(例如,处理器114)以供执行的任何介质。这样的介质可采取许多形式,包括但不限于非易失性和易失性介质,分别诸如光盘或磁盘和动态存储器。常见形式的计算机可读存储介质包括例如软盘、软磁盘、硬盘、磁带、其它磁性存储介质、CD-ROM盘、数字视频光盘(DVD)、任何其它光学介质、RAM、PROM、EPROM、FLASHEPROM、任何其它存储器芯片或存储器盒。
各种形式的传输介质可用于将一个或多个序列的一个或多个指令载送到CPU以供执行。总线将数据载送到系统RAM,CPU从系统RAM检索并执行指令。由系统RAM接收的指令可选地在由CPU执行之前或之后存储在固定盘上。可同样地实施各种形式的存储装置以及实施存储装置所必需的网络接口和网络拓扑。
尽管上文已描述各种实施例,但应理解,其仅作为实例而非限制来呈现。所述描述不希望将本发明的范围限制于本文所陈述的特定形式。相反,本描述旨在涵盖包括于如由附加权利要求书界定和本领域一般技术人员以其它方式了解的本发明的精神和范围内的这样的替代、修改和等效物。因此,优选实施例的广度和范围不应被上述示例性实施例中的任何一个所限制。
