Abstract: Methods and systems for a MEMS detector that enables control of a device using human breath are disclosed and may include detecting air flow caused by human breath via a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) detector, which may include deflectable members operable to detect the movement of air. The deflection of the members may be limited via a spacer within the MEMS detector. The amount of deflection may be determined by measuring reflected light signals, piezoelectric signals, capacitance changes, or current generated by the deflection in a magnetic field. Output signals may be generated based on the detected movement. The MEMS detector may include a substrate, a spacer, and the MEMS deflectable members. The substrate may include a ceramic material and/or silicon, and may include embedded devices and interconnects. An integrated circuit may be electrically coupled to the substrate. Air flows may be directed out of the side of the MEMS detector.

Abstract: A method and system for processing signals for a MEMS detector that enables control of a device using expulsion of air via human breath, a machine and/or a device are provided. A microprocessor may receive one or more signals from the MEMS detector that may comprise various component sensor(s), sensing member(s) or sensing segment(s) that may detect movement of air caused by the expulsion of human breath. The signals may be processed by the microprocessor and an interactive output comprising one or more control signals that may enable control of a user interface such as 107a-107e on the multimedia device 106a-106e may be generated. For each component sensor(s), sensing member(s) or sensing segment(s) in the MEMS detector, ranges or gradients may be measured and evaluated to determine which of the sensor(s), sensing member(s) or sensing segment(s) of the MEMS detector 212 may have been activated, moved or deflected.

Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for interfacing with an electronic device via respiratory and/or tactual input are provided. In this regard, respiratory and tactual input may be utilized to interact with an electronic device via a user interface. The user interface may comprise a control region that may enable navigating and selecting objects, a fixed region that may enable display of information that may be independent of a state of, or activity in, the control region, and a content region that may enable display of information that may depend on a state of, or activity in, the control region. Accordingly, objects and/or information displayed on the electronic device may be affected and/or manipulated via tactual and respiratory input. Additionally, each region of the user interface may comprise one or more zones and a size, shape, and/or location of each region may be customized by a user.

Abstract: Certain aspects of a method and system for controlling a user interface of a device using human breath may include detecting movement caused by expulsion of human breath by a user. In response to the detection of movement caused by expulsion of human breath, one or more control signals may be generated. The generated control signals may control the user interface of a device and may enable navigation and/or selection of components in the user interface. The generated one or more control signals may be communicated to the device being controlled via a wired and/or a wireless signal. The expulsion of the human breath may occur in open space and the detection of the movement caused by the expulsion may occur without the use of a channel. The detection of the movement and/or the generation of the control signals may be performed by a MEMS detector or sensor.
