Patent number: 11762485Abstract: An electromagnetic (EM) pose tracking system includes a computer input device having a pen or stylus form factor. In some embodiments, a base station device includes one of the transmitter (Tx) or receiver (Rx) module for the EM pose tracking system while the computer input device includes the other of the TX and receiver modules. The EM pose tracking system employs the Tx and Rx modules to collect EM pose data indicating a relative pose between the Tx and Rx modules. Based on the EM pose data, the EM pose tracking system (or a computer device working with the EM pose tracking system) identifies a pose (position, orientation, or both position and orientation) of the computer input device.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2019Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Sherk Chung, Saket Patkar, Advait Jain, Lucine Oganesian, Ian Atkinson, Murphy Stein, Xiaomi Mao, Tri Duc Pho, Joseph Ethier, Jacob Andrew Sharf

Patent number: 10863469Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods synchronize sensor data and timestamps based on a second clock of a second device relative to a first clock of a first device. The data are communicated from the second device to the first device by way of respective wireless circuits in the first and second devices. Timestamps based on the second clock are corrected based on one or more of a time offset value and a clock frequency offset value of the second clock relative to the first clock. The timestamps for the sensor data are scaled to account for clock drift, and shifted to account for clock offset error.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2017Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Sherk Chung, Ian Atkinson, Advait Jain, Lucine Oganesian, Murphy Stein, Saket Patkar

Patent number: 10830572Abstract: A method of receiving EM field magnitude values indicative of a first pose of a mobile unit in relation to a base unit, receiving sensor data from a second sensor associated with the mobile unit, where the sensor data is indicative of a direction of movement of the mobile unit, calculating a set of candidate pose solutions based on the EM field magnitude values, selecting a pose from the set of candidate pose solutions based on the sensor data from the second sensor, and sending the pose to the processor.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Sherk Chung, Ian Atkinson, Advait Jain, Lucine Oganesian, Murphy Stein, Saket Patkar, Robert Oliver

Patent number: 10754419Abstract: A device uses a hybrid pose tracking system, whereby the hybrid pose tracking system includes both an EM pose tracking system and a secondary pose tracking system, such as a line-of-sight pose tracking system. The hybrid pose tracking system collects EM pose data from the EM tracking system indicating a relative pose between a transmitter and a receiver, and further collects from the secondary tracking system secondary pose data that is also indicative of the pose of either the transmitter or the receiver. The hybrid pose tracking system calculates a weighted combination (e.g., a weighted sum) of the EM pose data and the secondary pose data to generate a final pose for the device.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Sherk Chung, Ian Atkinson, Saket Patkar, Lucine Oganesian, Advait Jain, Murphy Stein

Patent number: 10746819Abstract: An electromagnetic (EM) position tracking system identifies the pose of objects based on detected strength values of an EM field. To address distortions in the field, the system employs a pose sensor to provide a second pose of the mobile unit. Under conditions where no distortion in the EM field has been detected, the HMD applies a nominal set of corresponding weights to the EM pose data and the IMU pose data, respectively, and combines the weighted pose value to identify a combined pose of the mobile unit. In response to detecting conditions that indicate distortion in the EM field, the HMD can apply different weights to the EM pose data and IMU pose data to, for example increase the influence of the IMU pose data on the combined pose.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2017Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Sherk Chung, Ian Atkinson, Advait Jain, Lucine Oganesian, Murphy Stein, Saket Patkar

Publication number: 20190246350Abstract: An EM pose tracking system controls a power mode by adjusting a transmit power of the EM transmitter based on a metric correlated with jitter in the EM readings. Such a metric includes metrics such as estimated noise computed from received EM data, a computed distance between the transmitter and the receiver, a measured signal power between the transmitter and the receiver, and the like. By adjusting the transmit power based on the jitter metric, the EM tracking system can reduce overall power consumption at a device that employs the EM tracking system, thus allowing the system to be used in a wider variety of devices and improving the user experience with those devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2018Publication date: August 8, 2019Inventors: Murphy Stein, Ian Atkinson, Advait Jain, Lucine Oganesian, Sherk Chung, Saket Patkar
