  • Patent number: 11983949
    Abstract: Biometric robustness systems and methods are described for detecting biometric signals of a user and adaptively adjusting signal output to control biometric devices(s). In various aspects, the biometrics robustness systems and methods comprise determining a biometric signal pattern of the user based on analysis of biometric signals of the user. The biometric signals of the user are detected by one or more biometric sensors. The biometrics robustness systems and methods may comprise generating, by a processor communicatively coupled to the one or more biometric sensors, an adjusted control output based on an anomaly as detected within the biometric signal pattern. The biometrics robustness systems and methods may comprise providing, by the processor, an adjusted control output to a biometric device to control operation of the biometric device.

  • Publication number: 20240111851
    Abstract: In various aspects, systems and methods are described for a biometric identification and control for providing customizable security through authentication of biosignal representations and control. The biometric identification and control systems and methods comprise hardware and software components that are used to detect, via a biometric detection device, biometric signals of a user. These biosignals are analyzed by a processor communicatively coupled to the biometric detection device. After analyzation of the biosignals, a biometric profile is created and used with a security interface to access a secure resource or device or to output a command to another device.

  • Publication number: 20240071595
    Abstract: Cloud-enabled and artificial intelligence (AI) based biosignal systems and methods are described for the coaching of users to enhance biosignal enabled devices based on device usage. The systems and methods are comprised of, and/or utilize, a cloud based server to aggregate biosignal data from biosignal enabled devices, train an enhanced AI based coaching model using the biosignal data, and to provide the enhanced AI based coaching model to the biosignal enabled devices. The biosignal enabled devices replace a first AI coaching model with the enhanced AI based coaching model, and input user-specific biosignal data to the enhanced AI based coaching model to output a device usage classification. Based on the device usage classification, the systems and methods initiate a coaching procedure that coaches the user how to use or configure the biosignal enabled device to implement an updated configuration for the biosignal enabled device that is optimized for the user.

  • Patent number: 11914775
    Abstract: Biometric enabled virtual reality (VR) systems and methods are disclosed for detecting user intention(s) and modulating virtual avatar control based on the user intention(s) for creation of virtual avatar(s) or object(s) in holographic space, two-dimensional (2D) virtual space, or three-dimensional (3D) virtual space. A virtual representation of an intended motion of a user corresponding to an intention of muscle activation of the user is determined based on analysis of a biometric signal data of the user as collected by a biometric detection device. The virtual representation of the intended motion is used to modulate virtual avatar control or output to create at least one of a virtual avatar representing aspect(s) of the user or an object manipulated by the user in a holographic space, virtual 2D space, or virtual 3D space. The avatar or the object is created based on: (1) the biometric signal data of a user, or (2) user-specific specifications as provided by the user.

  • Publication number: 20230389623
    Abstract: A wearable device configured to evaluate a breast area of a user and provide a prediction associated with the breast area of the user is provided. The wearable device includes a garment insert detachably coupled to a garment designed for at least partial contact with the breast area of the user and sensors configured to collect data associated with the breast area of the user. The sensors may collect first breast data at a first time and second breast data at a second time, different from the first time. A breast area prediction may be generated based on comparing the first breast data to the second breast data, and may define an estimation of breast area risk for the user. A feedback indication may be provided to a user interface based on the breast area prediction, indicating whether the user should receive a breast area evaluation from a medical professional.

  • Patent number: 11775066
    Abstract: Biometric enabled virtual reality (VR) systems and methods are disclosed for detecting user intention(s) and manipulating virtual avatar control based on the user intention(s) for providing kinematic awareness in holographic space, two-dimensional (2D) space, or three-dimensional (3D) virtual space. A virtual representation of an intended motion of a user corresponding to an intention of muscle activation of the user is determined based on analysis of a biometric signal data of the user as collected by a biometric detection device. The virtual representation of the intended motion is used to modulate virtual avatar control or output of a virtual avatar (representing one or more aspects of at least one of the user) or an object (as manipulated by the user) is manipulated in the holographic space, the virtual 2D, or the 3D space. The virtual avatar is rendered by a virtual interface configured to provide the kinematic awareness to the user in the holographic space, the 2D virtual space, or the 3D virtual space.
