  • Patent number: 11145097
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for adjusting the Z-index of an augmented reality (AR) object. When an AR object covers a first object, the user gazes at the first object for a predetermined amount of time, and then the AR object Z-index is adjusted with respect to the Z-index of the first object, such that the AR object is now rendered behind the first object, such that the user can continue to view the first object. The first object can be a physical object, a virtual object, or another augmented reality object. This allows the user to conveniently continue viewing the first object. Embodiments provide techniques for reverting the Z-index of the AR object at a later time when the user is ready to respond to the AR object. In this way, the user experience for augmented reality systems is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 11144987
    Abstract: A system, method and tools for normalizing product reviews and the presentation of product information viewed within a vendor's virtual storefront. Disclosed embodiments customize a user's navigation experience of a vendor's virtual storefront to be normalized to a target user's profile, social media or past information of the target user to prioritize relevant product reviews while de-prioritizing irrelevant ones. Normalization occurs through the identification of product reviews relevant to the target user's age, interests, purchasing history, activity levels, sizing, environment, location and internet activity or other distinguishing settings, features or information known. Sensor measurements from one or more TOT devices provide additional information which can be used to normalize the product reviews.

  • Patent number: 11144049
    Abstract: Management of available energy among multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is provided by identifying tasks to be completed by the multiple UAVs, and determining energy requirements of one or more UAVs of the multiple UAVs to facilitate completing one or more tasks of the tasks to be completed by the multiple UAVs. Further, the approach includes identifying an energy sharing approach for completion of the task(s) by the UAV(s) where one or more other UAVs of the multiple UAVs transfer energy in operation to the unmanned aerial vehicle(s) to facilitate completion of the task(s). In operation, the multiple UAVs may be detachably coupled, and the approach may include implementing the energy sharing approach by transferring energy from the other UAV(s) to the UAV(s) to facilitate completion of the task(s), for instance, prior to decoupling of the other UAV(s) from the UAV(s).
