  • Patent number: 11636658
    Abstract: Three-dimensional occlusion can be used when generating AR display overlays. Depth information can be used to delete portions of an AR element, based on intervening objects between a viewer and the AR element. In cases where the depth information does not impart a complete picture of the intervening objects, additional image processing and object detection systems and techniques can be used to further improve the precision of the occlusion.

  • Patent number: 11638272
    Abstract: This document describes methods, devices, systems, and means for user-equipment-coordination-set (404) selective participation in which a coordinating user equipment (111) determines which user equipments in the user-equipment-coordination-set (404) participate in a joint communication with a base station (121). The coordinating user equipment (111) receives an indication from the base station (121) specifying multiple user equipments to include in the user-equipment-coordination set (702) and determines a first subset of the multiple user equipments to participate in the joint communication with the base station (121) (704). The coordinating user equipment (111) transmits one or more joint-communication-selection messages to the first subset of the multiple user equipments that directs the first subset of the multiple user equipments to participate in the joint communication with the base station (121) (706).

  • Patent number: 11636138
    Abstract: A temporal layer containing personalization markers (e.g., placemarks) created by a user at a given time (or time period), can be combined with map imagery, allowing the user (or other users) to show only the personalization markers contained in the temporal layer. Temporal layers can be of arbitrary temporal or geographical size, fully or partially overlapping in time or space, split into smaller temporal layers, logically aligned or combined and/or continuous or non-continuous in time or space. Temporal layers can be stored in a repository where they can be searched and used by others. Temporal layers can be associated with search services (e.g., news search) or search histories (e.g., automatic temporal layers based on search history). A user's personal profile can be compared with other users' personal profiles and the results of the comparison can be used to recommend temporal layers. Advertisements can be associated with temporal layers.

  • Patent number: 11636610
    Abstract: A set of media items to be shared with users of a content sharing service is identified. Each of the set of media items corresponds to a video recording generated by a client device that depicts one or more objects corresponding to a real-world event at a geographic location. A positioning of the client device that generated the video recording corresponding to a respective media item of the set of media items is determined. The positioning is determined based on image features depicted in a set of frames of the video recording. A request for content associated with at least one of the real-world event or the geographic location is received from another client device connected to the content sharing service. The set of media items and, for each of the set of media items, an indication of the determined positioning of the client device that generated the corresponding video recording is provided in accordance with the request for content.

  • Patent number: 11635632
    Abstract: This document describes a mirror-based microelectromechanical system (MEMS) for optical image stabilization in image-capture systems. The mirror-based MEMS includes a MEMS platform that can rotate about a pitch axis and/or a yaw axis. MEMS rotors drive rotational motion of the MEMS platform. One or more piezo films, flexibly connected to the stationary platform, extend over the MEMS rotors. The piezo films have a resistance value that varies when the piezo films are deformed by the MEMS rotors. The piezo films form a bridge circuit across the MEMS platform, which produces an output voltage that varies with the resistance values. A MEMS mirror, coupled to the MEMS platform, reflects light rays to an image sensor. A microcontroller receives pitch and yaw information from the image sensor. The microcontroller accesses the output voltage and determines how much to move the MEMS platform to compensate for the pitch and yaw of the camera.

  • Publication number: 20230118361
    Abstract: A media application receives user input that indicates one or more objects to be erased from a media item. The media application translates the user input to a bounding box. The media application provides a crop of the media item based on the bounding box to a segmentation machine-learning model. The segmentation machine-learning model outputs a segmentation mask for one or more segmented objects in the crop of the media item and a corresponding segmentation score that indicates a quality of the segmentation mask.

  • Publication number: 20230122941
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for language models using domain-specific model components. In some implementations, context data for an utterance is obtained. A domain-specific model component is selected from among multiple domain-specific model components of a language model based on the non-linguistic context of the utterance. A score for a candidate transcription for the utterance is generated using the selected domain-specific model component and a baseline model component of the language model that is domain-independent. A transcription for the utterance is determined using the score the transcription is provided as output of an automated speech recognition system.

  • Publication number: 20230122155
    Abstract: In a display assistant device, a speaker is mounted in a waveguide structure which is at least partially disposed beneath a display screen. The waveguide structure is mounted in an exterior housing which includes speaker grills distributed on a plurality of surfaces of the exterior housing, permitting sound waves from the speaker to be projected outside the exterior housing. A cover structure is disposed on top of the waveguide structure to conceal the waveguide structure and speaker within the exterior housing. The cover structure has a tilted bottom surface configured to be suspended above the waveguide structure and to be separated by a first space. Sound waves projected from an upper portion of the speaker are reflected by the tilted bottom surface and are guided through the first space to exit the device from a speaker grill portion located on a rear side of the exterior housing.
