Patent number: 10082915Abstract: A touchpad system is disclosed herein that includes a touchpad sensor formed from a plurality of flexible materials and is at least partially integrated into host clothing or furniture such that the touchpad sensor is generally obscured from view. The touchpad sensor may be implemented as a resistive or capacitive touchpad, whereby user input is detected and converted into a proportional electrical signal. The touchpad sensor may include N layers of flexible materials configured to conduct electrical energy, and also conform to contours of a host object. At least one layer of the flexible materials may be heat sealed or otherwise adhered to an inner surface of the host object, such as beneath a shirt sleeve. Thus smart clothing/furniture may appear to be “normal” while also providing convenient user-access to a touchpad sensor that can robustly handle a wide variety of user-input to control operation of a remote computing device.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2015Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Narayan Sundararajan, Steven T. Holmes, Lakshman Krishnamurthy, Prabhakar R. Datta, Fuad Al-Amin, Saurin Shah

Patent number: 9852731Abstract: Technologies are described herein that allow a user to wake up a computing device operating in a low-power state and for the user to be verified by speaking a single wake phrase. Wake phrase recognition is performed by a low-power engine. In some embodiments, the low-power engine may also perform speaker verification. In other embodiments, the mobile device wakes up after a wake phrase is recognized and a component other than the low-power engine performs speaker verification on a portion of the audio input comprising the wake phrase. More than one wake phrases may be associated with a particular user, and separate users may be associated with different wake phrases. Different wake phrases may cause the device transition from a low-power state to various active states.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2016Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Saurabh Dadu, Lakshman Krishnamurthy, Francis M. Tharappel, Prabhakar R. Datta, Bryan R. Peebler, Michael E. Deisher, Mandar S. Joshi, Saurin Shah, Brian K. Vogel

Patent number: 9270801Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for using an audio front end of a mobile device to sampled audio from an audio signal during a first portion of a periodic detection window, and reducing a power consumption of one or more components of the audio front end during a second portion of the periodic detection window. Additionally, a determination may be made as to whether voice activity is present in the audio signal based at least in part on the sampled audio. In one example, the length of the first portion and the length of the second portion are defined by a duty cycle of the periodic detection window.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Lakshman Krishnamurthy, Michael E.
