Patent number: 11821984Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method and apparatus that can be used to determine whether an object is in proximity of an electronic device. When an object is not in proximity to the electronic device, the arrangement of two sensors at different distances from the optical emitter results in a higher strength of a reflection signal received in the sensor closer to the optical emitter and a lower strength of a reflection signal received in the sensor further from the optical emitter. The system uses this difference in reflection signals to calculate a ratio between the signals that are being reflected to both sensors, and based on the ratio whether an object is in proximity to the electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2020Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: AMS INTERNATIONAL AGInventors: Helmut Theiler, Christian Halper

Patent number: 11789565Abstract: A lid controller hub (LCH) comprising processing components located in the lid of a mobile computing device, such as a laptop, processes sensor data generated by input sensors (microphones, cameras, touchscreen) and provides for improved and enhanced experiences over existing devices. For example, the LCH provides hardened privacy and the synchronization of touch display activities with the display refresh rate, the latter providing for a smoother and more responsive touch experience over existing designs. The LCH enables continuous gestures comprising touch gesture and in-air gesture portions as well as multi-plane gestures in which an initial touch gesture places the device into a mode or context in which it recognizes and acts upon subsequent in-air gestures. Touch operations of a mobile computing device can be based on user presence, user engagement, and a level of user interaction with the device.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2020Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Kunjal S.
