  • Patent number: 11914780
    Abstract: A finger-mounted device may include finger-mounted units. The finger-mounted units may each have a body that serves as a support structure for components such as force sensors, accelerometers, and other sensors and for haptic output devices. The body may have sidewall portions coupled by a portion that rests adjacent to a user's fingernail. The body may be formed from deformable material such as metal or may be formed from adjustable structures such as sliding body portions that are coupled to each other using magnetic attraction, springs, or other structures. The body of each finger-mounted unit may have a U-shaped cross-sectional profile that leaves the finger pad of each finger exposed when the body is coupled to a fingertip of a user's finger. Control circuitry may gather finger press input, lateral finger movement input, and finger tap input using the sensors and may provide haptic output using the haptic output device.

  • Patent number: 11907509
    Abstract: A DiskLink system is provided in the present disclosure. The DiskLink system is established on a cloud-based network, and is formed by cloud-based disks connecting to each other in a way similar to that of a neural network system. The DiskLink system includes information webpages that each display virtual reality scenes. When any movement option of one information webpage is selected, an information webpage program of the information webpage stores a movement record data in a browser. When each of the information webpages is executed, the information webpage program loads the movement record data from the browser and displays a previous webpage option. When the previous webpage option is selected, the browser displays a previous webpage address in the previous webpage option, and the information webpage program uses the movement record data to simulate a user selecting the movement options to change the virtual reality scenes.

  • Patent number: 11907610
    Abstract: Example techniques may involve guest access to a media playback system. A guest may use a guest control device, such as a smartphone or tablet, to control aspects of a host's media playback system. In addition, the guest may temporarily register their user account of a streaming audio service with the host's media playback system, which enables playback of audio content from that service by one or more playback devices of the media playback system. When the guest control device de-registers from the host's media playback system, retrieval of audio content from the streaming audio service is disabled.

  • Patent number: 11803292
    Abstract: An embodiment facilitates user control of user interface layouts. A layout diagram visually and diagrammatically represents a current layout. The layout diagram includes layout diagram regions which correspond to user interface component regions in the current layout; the user interface component regions have user interface components as occupants. The embodiment gets a choice identifying a traveler component and a destination region, with the traveler component being an occupant of a source region. The embodiment modifies the current layout of the user interface to produce a modified layout in response to the choice, and updates the layout diagram to match the modified layout. Interaction is improved by diagrammatically showing the user the results of possible layout changes before performing any of them.
