  • Publication number: 20240192765
    Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for providing a force dimension to interface elements. In one aspect, a method includes (i) communicatively coupling a wearable device that includes electromyography (EMG) sensors with an activatable device that includes a mechanical user interface element; (ii) in accordance with an activation of the user interface element, obtaining data from the EMG sensors that corresponds to the activation; (iii) determining, based on the data from the EMG sensors, whether the activation includes an activation force that meets predefined criteria; (iv) in accordance with a determination that the activation force meets the predefined criteria, causing execution of a first function corresponding to the user interface element; and (v) in accordance with a determination that the activation force meets the predefined criteria, causing execution of a second function corresponding to the user interface element.

  • Publication number: 20240168567
    Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for power-efficient processing of neuromuscular signals. In one aspect, a method includes: (i) obtaining a first set of neuromuscular signals; (ii) after determining, using a low-power detector, that the first set of neuromuscular signals require further processing to confirm that a predetermined in-air hand gesture has been performed: (a) processing the first set of neuromuscular signals using a high-power detector; and (b) in accordance with a determination that the processing indicates that the predetermined in-air hand gesture did occur, registering an occurrence of the predetermined in-air hand gesture; (iii) receiving a second set of neuromuscular signals; and (iv) after determining, using the low-power detector and not using the high-power detector, that a different predetermined in-air hand gesture was performed, performing an action in response to the different predetermined in-air hand gesture.

  • Publication number: 20240148331
    Abstract: An example method for securing a wearable device to a user occurs while the wearable device is worn around a body part. The wearable device includes a biopotential-signal sensor connected to an amplifier to adjust amplification of biopotential signal. The method includes receiving first information representative of power needed to amplify the biopotential signal to the particular amplitude for signal processing. The method also includes, in accordance with a determination that the first information indicates that the wearable device is not properly affixed to the body part, providing first instructions to adjust how the wearable device is affixed to the body part. The method includes receiving second information, and, in accordance with a determination that the second information indicates that the wearable device is properly affixed to the body part, forgoing providing second instructions to adjust how the wearable device is affixed to the body part.

  • Patent number: 11910245
    Abstract: Systems and methods for transitioning a call between two devices are disclosed herein. An origin device for the call is determined based on a first position of an ultra-wideband (UWB) device. A destination device for the call is then determined based on a second position of the UWB device. The UWB device sends transition commands to both the origin device and the destination device, each transition command including an identifier of the other device. Using the identifier of the origin device, the destination device connects to the call the origin device is currently participating in. When the origin device detects that the destination device has connected to the call, the origin device disconnects from the call.

  • Patent number: 11496790
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a smart streaming device are disclosed herein. The smart streaming device is controlled based on a position of an ultra-wideband (UWB) device. Based on the position of the UWB device, one or more service events for the smart streaming device can be conducted. For example, a privacy mode of the smart streaming device can be enabled or disabled based on the position of the UWB device. In another example, a distance can be determined between the smart streaming device and the position of the UWB device. Based on the distance, an output configuration of the smart streaming device can be set, such as dynamically adjusting volume or text size on the smart streaming device.
