Title: Innovations of Robert James Norton, Jr.

Introduction

Robert James Norton, Jr. is a prominent inventor based in Raleigh, NC (US). He holds an impressive portfolio of 104 patents, showcasing his contributions to technology and innovation. His work primarily focuses on advancements in camera devices and display technologies.

Latest Patents

Among his latest patents is a groundbreaking camera device and method for precluding the capture of manual data entry in image data. This invention utilizes object detection on sensor data generated by an image sensor to identify an input device in the environment. The camera analyzes the sensor data to detect a user's hand and predicts the impending use of the input device based on the hand's proximity and movement. By generating an image data stream with altered content, the device prevents the accurate capture of manual data entry.

Another significant patent involves a method to save power on pixel-lit displays. This method identifies focused and non-focused regions of an original image and transforms the color values of pixels in the non-focused region to a power-reduced color gamut. The remapped image is then outputted on the display, maintaining full color in the focused region while conserving energy in the non-focused area.
