Abstract:
A user interface input apparatus (10) and method allows the detection of when and where a user touches a surface of a translucent screen (12) by the processing of imagery generated by a camera that views an opposite surface of the screen, An input device (10) and system includes a translucent screen (12); an image capture device (14) located for imaging a first side of the screen opposite a second side where user interaction occurs; and an image processor (20) coupled to the output of the image capture device to determine at least one of where and when a person touches an area on the second side of the screen by a change in intensity of light emanating from the touched area relative to a surrounding area.
Abstract:
A system, method and computer program product for automatically estimating the confidence of a detected LAT to provide a more accurate overall score for an obtained candidate answer. A confidence "score" or value of each detected LAT is obtained, and the system and method performs combining the confidence score with a degree of match between a LAT and an AnswerType of the candidate answer to provide improved overall score for the candidate answer.
