Patent number: 11997370Abstract: This application is directed to a doorbell camera for illuminating and capturing scenes. The doorbell camera includes at least a subset of processors for operating a camera module, an image sensor having a field of view of a scene and configured to capture video of a portion of the scene, one or more infrared (IR) illuminators for providing illumination, a waterproof button assembly, and a microphone and a speaker for enabling a real-time conversation between a visitor located at the doorbell camera and a user of a remote client device. The waterproof button assembly is configured to receive a user press on a button top, block water from entering the electronic device, and display a visual pattern uniformly at a peripheral region of the button assembly using LEDs and light guide component that are disposed under the button top.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2023Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Haerim Jeong, Rengarajan Aravamudhan, Jacobi Grillo, Michael Dixon, Yu-An Lien, Minjung Kim, Etienne Bérubé, Rochus Jacob, Brian Conner, Scott Mullins

Patent number: 11954146Abstract: A method and system for providing a data analysis in the form of a customized geographic visualization on a graphical user interface (GUI) on a remote client computing device using only a web browser on the remote client device. The system receives a user's selected data analysis to be performed by the system for display on the remote client device. The system verifies the data access permissions of the user to render a data analysis solution customized to that particular user, and automatically prevents that user from gaining access to data analysis solutions to which that user is prohibited. The system is configured to respond to the user's data analysis request, perform the necessary computations on the server side on the fly, and send a dataset interpretable by the client device's web browser for display on the client device or on a device associated with the client device.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Blue Cross and Blue Shield AssociationInventors: Teresa Nguyen Clark, Michael Steven Weinberg, Carlos Ricardo Villarreal, Nathania Hau, Jelani Akil McLean, Abigail Berube, Trent Tyrone Haywood
