  • Patent number: 12094239
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a memory storing a plurality of fingerprint reference data files and one or more sensors identifying whether a mechanical support condition of the electronic device is a hand supported condition or a surface supported condition. A fingerprint sensor receives fingerprint data while the electronic device is in the mechanical support condition. One or more processors select a prioritized fingerprint data reference file from the plurality of fingerprint reference data files as a function of the mechanical support condition and authenticate an authorized user of the electronic device by comparing the fingerprint data to the prioritized fingerprint data reference file before comparing the fingerprint data to any other fingerprint reference data files of the plurality of fingerprint reference data files. The prioritized fingerprint reference data file can also be selected as a function of a geometric form factor of the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 12088130
    Abstract: An electronic device included a first energy storage device coupled to a second energy storage device by a conductor. A charging node is coupled to the first energy storage device. Another conductor couples the charging node to the second energy storage device. A switch is electrically coupled between the conductor and the second energy storage device. A control circuit opens the switch, thereby allowing a first charging current to flow from the charging node to the first energy storage device through the conductor and a second charging current to flow from the charging node to the second energy storage device through the other conductor and closes the switch when a difference between a voltage of the first energy storage device and a voltage of the second energy storage device is within a predefined voltage difference threshold.

  • Patent number: 12079639
    Abstract: A device property control system determines whether a current user of a device is an owner of the device, a trusted secondary user of the device, or an untrusted secondary user of the device. The system maintains device property values for the owner as well as each trusted secondary user of the device. When the current user of the device changes, the system determines whether the current user is the owner or a trusted secondary user and if so changes the device property values to those previously used by the owner or one of the trusted secondary users (whichever is the current user of the device). However, if the current user is an untrusted secondary user, the device property control system changes the device property values to demonstration mode device property values that are expected to best demonstrate the capabilities of the device.

  • Patent number: 12081907
    Abstract: An electronic device, computer program product, and method avoids presenting certain objects during a video communication session. During a video communication session with second electronic device(s), a controller of an electronic device identifies baseline image(s) from an image stream provided by an image capturing device of the electronic device. The baseline image includes a primary image portion of participant(s) and including a scene of objects within the foreground or background of participant (s), during an initial portion of the video communication session. The controller monitors the image stream for a subsequent detection of the primary image portion and of non-participant(s) or object(s) as a secondary image portion that is not included within the baseline image(s).

  • Patent number: 12073519
    Abstract: An electronic system, a method, and a computer program product generate a video recording or stream with a spherical background image that maintains orientation like a natural background as an image capturing device changes location or aim direction. The method includes determining a stationary orientation of a spherical background image in a virtual space geospatially aligned with a first physical location of an image capturing device. The method includes extracting a foreground image from an image stream of the field of view captured by the image capturing device. The method includes generating a composite image stream of a foreground image, which is extracted from an image stream from the image capturing device, superimposed on the spherical background image. In response to movement, the method includes updating a virtual orientation and/or a virtual location of the spherical background image to remain geospatially aligned with the first physical location.

  • Publication number: 20240283893
    Abstract: In aspects of controlling display of content based on screen sharing in a video conference session, a video conference session is determined to be active on a computing device in a screen sharing mode. In the screen sharing mode, a user of a computing device shares content displayed on a display screen associated with the computing device with a remote user connected to the video conference session via a remote device. The remote user is then detected as having entered the screen sharing mode on the remote device, which causes the screen sharing mode to end on the computing device. Then, the remote user is detected as having ended the screen sharing mode on the remote device. In response to the screen sharing mode ending on the remote device, a prompt is displayed on the display screen that is selectable to resume the screen sharing mode on the computing device.

  • Patent number: 12069395
    Abstract: An electronic device, computer program product, and method are provided that automatically focus on meaningful content in an image stream during an instruction-oriented video communication session. The electronic device communicatively connects the electronic device via a network to second electronic device(s) during a video communication session. A controller of the electronic device identifies a person and a writing surface within an image stream from a local image capturing device. In response to determining that the person is attending to the writing surface, the controller communicates to a video communication session a first portion of the image stream that focusses on the writing surface. In response to determining that the person is not attending to the writing surface, the controller communicates to the video communication session via the at least one network interface, a second portion of the image stream that does not focus on the writing surface.
