Patent number: 11330649Abstract: Methods and systems of multi-link peer-to-peer communications enable consumer devices to have increased communication performance. A method of communication can include establishing, by a consumer device, a P2P interface with extender devices, transmitting uplink data to the two or more extender devices, and transmitting, by each of the two or more extender devices, uplink transmission data to a cellular network. The method can further include receiving, by the extender devices, downlink transmission data from a respective cellular network, transmitting, by each of the two or more extender devices via the peer-to-peer wireless interface, the received downlink transmission data, and receiving, at the consumer device via the peer-to-peer wireless interface, data related to the received downlink transmission data. In an example, the consumer device can also transmit data directly to a cellular network and receive data directly from the cellular network in parallel with the P2P communication.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: XCOM Labs, Inc.Inventors: Paul Eric Jacobs, Matthew Stuart Grob

Patent number: 9454265Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for touch and gesture recognition, using a field sequential color display. The display includes a processor, a lighting system, and an arrangement for spatial light modulation that includes an array of light modulators. Each light modulator is switchable between an open position that permits transmittance of light from the lighting system through a respective aperture and a shut position that blocks light transmission through the respective aperture. The processor switches the light modulators in accordance with a first modulation scheme to render an image and in accordance with a second modulation scheme to selectively pass object illuminating light through at least one of the respective apertures. A light sensor receives light resulting from interaction of the object illuminating with an object and outputs a signal to the processor. The processor recognizes, from the output of the light sensor, a characteristic of the object.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2013Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: John Michael Wyrwas, Paul Eric Jacobs, Evgeni Petrovich Gousev, Russell Wayne Gruhlke, Chung-Po Huang, Hae-Jong Seo, Xiquan Cui, Jacek Maitan

Publication number: 20160085440Abstract: An improved wireless device generates a customized representation of a keyboard for a touch-sensitive screen. The wireless device generates an anatomical model specific to the operator of the wireless device in response to an operator contacting their fingertips in a “typing” position as if the operator were about to use a standard QWERTY keyboard. The anatomical model is used to derive a keyboard layout optimized for a present operator of the wireless device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2014Publication date: March 24, 2016Inventors: Michael-David Nakayoshi Canoy, Zachary David Rattner, Stephen Alton Sprigg, Paul Eric Jacobs

Publication number: 20150071648Abstract: A display device may include a display, an optical touch system proximate the display and a control system. The control system may be capable of receiving input for initiating a peer-to-peer data transfer and of performing an authentication process for the peer-to-peer data transfer. The authentication process may involve obtaining fingerprint images via the optical touch system. The display device may provide a prompt to position the display device proximate a second device, e.g., with the display adjacent to a display of the second device. The display may display data transfer parameters for the peer-to-peer data transfer. The optical touch system may receive a confirmation that the second device received the data transfer parameters. The peer-to-peer data transfer may be performed, at least in part, by an array of optical transceivers.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2014Publication date: March 12, 2015Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: John Hyunchul Hong, Paul Eric Jacobs, Matthew Stuart Grob

Publication number: 20130027440Abstract: A field-sequential color architecture is included in a reflective mode display. The reflective mode display may be a direct-view display such as an interferometric modulator display. The reflective mode display may include three or more different subpixel types, each of which corresponds to a color. Data for each color may be written sequentially to all subpixels of the display. Flashing of a corresponding colored light, e.g., from a front light of the display, may be timed to immediately follow a process of writing data for that color. Colors other than the field color may be used to produce grayscale. The field color may correspond to the most significant bit (MSB) and the other colors may correspond to other bits.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2012Publication date: January 31, 2013Applicant: QUALCOMM MEMS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Russel Allyn Martin, Zhanpeng Feng, Jyotindra Raj Shakya, Paul Eric Jacobs, Clarence Chui
