  • Patent number: 11866967
    Abstract: A locking structure for an opening and closing body includes an opening and closing body that is supported to be movable between an open position where an opening formed in a device main body is opened and a closed position where the opening is closed and a push latch device that is disposed in the device main body, locks the opening and closing body at the closed position as an engaging body, which is provided on the opening and closing body to protrude in a pushing direction, pushes in a latch body, and releases locking of the opening and closing body to push out the opening and closing body in an opposite direction to the pushing direction in a case where the engaging body is further pushed in at the closed position. Even in a case where the opening and closing body is pushed at the closed position in the pushing direction, the opening and closing body does not move, and the push latch device is held in a locked state.

  • Patent number: 11847266
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for a gesture-based augmented reality and/or extended reality (AR/XR) user interface. Conventional image processing scales quadratically based on image resolution. Processing complexity directly corresponds to memory size, power consumption, and heat dissipation. As a result, existing smart glasses solutions have short run-times (<1 hr) and may have battery weight and heat dissipation issues that are uncomfortable for continuous wear. The disclosed solution provides a system and method for low-power image processing via the use of scalable processing. In one specific implementation, gesture detection is divided into multiple stages. Each stage conditionally enables subsequent stages for more complex processing. By scaling processing complexity at each stage, high complexity processing can be performed on an “as-needed” basis.

  • Patent number: 11830135
    Abstract: Techniques are described for using computing devices to perform automated operations for determining matching buildings and using corresponding information in further automated manners, such as by determining buildings having similarities to other indicated buildings based at least in part on building floor plans and/or other attributes, and by automatically generating descriptions of the similarities. In some situations, such matching building determinations are based on generating and using adjacency graphs for floor plans that represent inter-connections between rooms and other attributes of the buildings, and further generating and comparing vector-based embeddings that concisely represent the information of the adjacency graphs for use in performing inter-building comparisons and generating the descriptions. Information about such determined buildings may be used in various automated manners, including for controlling device navigation (e.g.

  • Patent number: 11810489
    Abstract: A sensing circuit includes initialization switches, shield switches, signal selection switches and a signal current integrator. The initialization switches apply an initialization voltage to sensing channels based on an initialization control signal. The shield switches apply a shield voltage different from the initialization voltage to the sensing channels based on shield control signals. The signal selection switches sequentially output sensing currents received from the sensing channels based on sensing control signals. The signal current integrator sequentially converts the sensing currents into sensing voltages. When a target sensing current is to be detected from a target sensing channel from the sensing channels, the shield voltage is applied to at least one shield sensing channel adjacent to the target sensing channel from the sensing channels.

  • Patent number: 11768544
    Abstract: A method for evaluating gesture input comprises receiving input data for sequential data frames, including hand tracking data for hands of a user. A first neural network is trained to recognize features indicative of subsequent gesture interactions and configured to evaluate input data for a sequence of data frames and to output an indication of a likelihood of the user performing gesture interactions during a predetermined window of data frames. A second neural network is trained to recognize features indicative of whether the user is currently performing one or more gesture interactions and configured to adjust parameters for gesture interaction recognition during the predetermined window based on the indicated likelihood. The second neural network evaluates the predetermined window for performed gesture interactions based on the adjusted parameters, and outputs a signal as to whether the user is performing one or more gesture interactions during the predetermined window.
