  • Patent number: 11997576
    Abstract: A method of BLE-Mesh communications includes providing a dual-mode BLE-Mesh device including dual-mode RF driver, dual-mode manager, a BLE stack for BLE operations. and a mesh stack for mesh operations in a BLE-mesh network having a BLE relay device and a functional end BLE device. The BLE-mesh device has a periodic set of time indexed data slots common throughout the BLE-mesh network which provides a BLE event timeline for BLE connection events. The dual-mode BLE device implements an event clustering algorithm that delays or advances mesh events with respect to a timing the BLE connection events for clustering together their respective occurrences into continuous BLE/Mesh events to reduce a duty cycle by reducing a number of transitions from active mode to sleep mode and from sleep mode to active mode. The BLE-Mesh device communicates in the BLE-mesh network using the continuous BLE/Mesh events with at least one mesh device.

  • Patent number: 11985215
    Abstract: A communication device in a network may receive a stream of frames from the network, in which each frame includes one or more beacon packets. A communication protocol being used by the network may be identified by tracking a preselected field within a sequence of beacon packets, in which the preselected field varies in a first known manner for a first protocol and in a second known manner for a second protocol. The communication device may then join to the network using the identified communication protocol to transmit and receive data.

  • Publication number: 20240029360
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting an unauthorized virtual object in a mobile device are disclosed. In an aspect, a mobile device may receive an image from a camera. The mobile device may detect a virtual object displayed on a display of a mobile device included in the image. The mobile device may receive data from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) after a movement of the mobile device. The mobile device may determine an estimated new position of the virtual object based on the data received from the IMU. The mobile device may determine an actual position of the virtual object after receiving the data from the IMU. The mobile device may determine a difference between the estimated new position and the actual position of the virtual object. The mobile device may determine whether the virtual object is the unauthorized virtual object based on the difference.

  • Patent number: 11368573
    Abstract: In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) determines, using an inertial measurement unit, an orientation of the UE and determines, using ambient light sensors, an ambient light condition of the UE. The UE determines, using a machine learning module and based on the orientation and the ambient light condition, a position of the UE. If the position comprises an on-body position, the UE uses the machine learning module and touch data received by a touchscreen of the UE to determine whether the position comprises an in-hand position. If the position comprises the in-hand position, the UE determines, using the machine learning module and based on the orientation and the touch data, a grip mode. If the position comprises an off-body position, the UE determines, using the machine learning module and at least one of the inertial measurement unit or the ambient light sensors, a user presence or a user absence.

  • Patent number: 11283999
    Abstract: Techniques described herein can address these and other issues by synchronizing the positioning of an adjustable lens in a camera assembly with the capture of an image frame by the image sensor and optimizing the position of the adjustable lens to reduce the amount of blur caused by translation of the camera assembly along a direction along the optical axis over the course of a frame. More specifically, techniques provide for moving the lens to a plurality of optimized positions, relative to the image sensor, over the course of a frame, to reduce motion blur in an image due to translation of the camera assembly in a direction of along the optical axis during the frame. Some embodiments may provide for “tight” synchronization in cases where the plurality of optimized positions are based on a time-dependent function that takes into account when each row of the image sensor is being exposed over the course of the frame.
