Patent number: 10651950Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to control devices configured for use with computing devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods and devices for shortening wireless reconnection time by determining the presence of an object or body near a device. When the control device detects an object or body in proximity to the device, the control device may automatically establish a wireless connection with a host devices, such that when the control device receives any user interactions, the wireless connection has already been established, preventing loss of data.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Logitech Europe S.A.Inventors: Jean-Christophe Hemes, Francesco Spina, Olivier Gay, Gilles de Preux, Olivier Bodenmann, Paolo Cremonino, Laurent Mealares

Patent number: 9184625Abstract: A method for determining a power sustainability status of a device having one or more solar panels and a battery includes receiving a request to indicate the power sustainability status, measuring a voltage of the battery, and determining a usage level of the device and a low power sustainability threshold. The method further includes computing a remaining capacity of the battery using the voltage of the battery and usage level of the device and computing a light exposure level associated with the one or more solar panels. Additionally, the method includes determining a power sustainability index using at least one of the remaining capacity of the battery or the light exposure level and comparing the power sustainability index to the low power sustainability threshold.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2011Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: Logitech Europe S.A.Inventors: Sylvain Sauvage, Jacques Robert, Olivier Bodenmann
