  • Patent number: 10607408
    Abstract: One variation of a method for modeling a human body includes: driving a sensor block along a path above a platform occupied by a user and recording a sequence of depth images and color images, via the sensor block, at each capture position in a sequence of capture positions along the path; compiling the set of depth images into a low-density 3D model of the user and a high-density 3D model of the user; extracting a set of color patches, from the sequence of color images, corresponding to discrete regions on a surface of the low-density 3D model of the user; projecting the set of color patches onto the surface of the low-density 3D model to generate a 3D color model of the user; and extracting a value of a dimension, projected from the low-density 3D color model onto the high-density 3D model, from the high-density 3D model.

  • Publication number: 20200099717
    Abstract: A method and associated circuits protect data stored in a secure data circuit of a telecommunication device equipped with a near-field communication (NFC) router, a microcontroller, and the secure data circuit. In the method, each message received with the NFC router is parsed to retrieve a communication pipe identifier and an instruction code. The communication pipe identifier and the instruction code are compared to corresponding information in a filter table. Instruction codes of particular messages that attempt to modify a communication pipe by reassigning one end of the communication pipe from the port of the NFC router to a different circuit are acted upon. These messages are blocked from reaching the secure data circuit when the instruction code is not authorized in the filter table, and these messages are permitted when the instruction code is authorized in the filter table.

  • Patent number: 9661448
    Abstract: A method is for managing information communication between an NFC controller coupled to an antenna for a contactless communication with an object, a device host, and a secure element. The method may include routing the information through the NFC controller, and communicating first information to be communicated between the secure element and the device host through a first communication link between the NFC controller and the device host, and through a second communication link between the NFC controller and the secure element. The method may include communicating second information with the antenna through a third communication link between the NFC controller and the secure element, the first and second communication links having bandwidths greater than a bandwidth of the third communication link.
