Filed:

Dec 2, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/629678

Inventors:

Victor Tiscareno - Issaquah WA, US
Kevin Jonhson - Mundelein IL, US
Cindy Lawrence - University Place WA, US

Assignee:

Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

H04N 5/33

US Classification:

348164, 348E0509

Abstract:

Systems and methods for receiving infrared data with a camera designed to detect images based on visible light are provided. A system can include a camera and image processing circuitry electrically coupled to the camera. The image processing circuitry can determine whether each image detected by the camera includes an infrared signal with encoded data. If the image processing circuitry determines that an image includes an infrared signal with encoded data, the circuitry may route at least a portion of the image (e.g., the infrared signal) to circuitry operative to decode the encoded data. If the image processing circuitry determines that an image does not include an infrared signal with encoded data, the circuitry may route the image to a display or storage. Images routed to the display or storage can then be used as individual pictures or frames in a video because those images do not include any effects of infrared light communications.

International Classification:

G09B 23/02

US Classification:

434211

Abstract:

A variety of tools for demonstrating the mathematical properties is disclosed. In one embodiment, a demonstrator uses the tools to illuminate geometric relationships between objects in two and three-dimensional space. The tools may be a stationary exhibit or collected into a portable kit. Whether portable or stationary, the tools provide an easy to use, multi-functional, and visually captivating vehicle for demonstration of geometric properties.
