  • Patent number: 11656678
    Abstract: An electronic device detects a user presence in a first distance range from a user detection sensor of an electronic device. The electronic device communicates with multiple input components, setting the electronic device to a first device state based on detecting a user presence in the first distance range. The first device state applies a scanning rate to a first input component. The electronic device also detects a user presence in a second distance range from the user detection sensor of the electronic device while the electronic device is in the first device state. The electronic device sets the electronic device to a second device state, based on detecting a user presence in the second distance range while the electronic device is in the first device state. The second device state applies a different scanning rate to the first input component than in the first device state.

  • Patent number: 11657542
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for point cloud coefficient coding are provided. Transform coefficients associated with point cloud data are decomposed into set-index values and symbol-index values, the symbol index-value specifying location of the transform coefficient within a set. The decomposed transform coefficients are partitioned into one or more sets based on the set-index values and the symbol-index values. The set-index values of the partitioned transform coefficients are entropy-coded, and the symbol-index values of the partitioned transform coefficients are bypass-coded. The point cloud data is compressed based on the entropy-coded symbol-index values and the bypass-coded set-index values.
