Patent number: 12001536Abstract: Various examples described herein are directed to systems and methods for managing an interface between a user and a user computing device. The user computing device may determine that an audio sensor in communication with the user computing device indicates a first command in a user voice of the user, where the first command instructs the user computing device to perform a first task. The user computing device may determine that the audio sensor also indicates a first ambient voice different than the user voice and match the first ambient voice to a first known voice. The user computing device may determine that a second computing device associated with the first known voice is within a threshold distance of the user computing device and select a first privacy level for the first task based at least in part on the first known voice.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2022Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Tambra Nichols, Teresa Lynn Rench, Jonathan Austin Hartsell, John C. Brenner, Christopher James Williams

Publication number: 20240089169Abstract: Various examples described herein are directed to systems and methods for providing a user interface at a plurality of computing devices. A first interface application executing at a first computing device may determine a first state for a user interface. The first interface application may detect a set of user computing devices for providing the user interface to a user and select a second computing device that is in the set of user computing devices based at least in part on the first state of the user interface. The first interface application may send a description of the user interface to the second computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Tambra Nichols, Teresa Lynn Rench, Jonathan Austin Hartsell, John C.

Publication number: 20140209572Abstract: There is provided a contact device (10) for application to an opposing surface (46;50) in use. The contact device comprises a support (12) and a plurality of contact members (14) aligned along the support. Each contact member has an end portion (15) spaced from the support and is independently resiliently mounted to the support such that the end portions (15) can conform to the opposing surface (46;50) in use and thereby provide a seal there-against. The contact members and/or support and may be planar in form and may be cut from a sheet metal material. The contact device may serve as a gas shield or a support jig or clamp device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2014Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: ROLLS-ROYCE PLCInventors: Christopher James WILLIAMS, Martyn Anthony JONES, Andrew James GILMOUR, Andrew James LODGE, Kwok Hei WONG, Jonathan Robert HAM
