Patent number: 12028775Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may determine its position by receiving locations from one or more other UEs capable of network-based positioning. For example, a second UE may determine its location using network-based positioning and may transmit its location information to the first UE. The first UE may determine its location based on the received location information (e.g., by calculating a weighted average of different locations, by setting its location to be the same as the received location). In some cases, the first UE may receive location information from other UEs during or after a discovery process with other UEs. In some other cases, the first UE may receive messages (e.g., periodic safety messages) from the other UEs, and the messages may each include location information of the respective other UEs.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2021Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Shuanshuan Wu, Junyi Li, Hong Cheng, Kapil Gulati

Patent number: 11983628Abstract: Systems and methods dynamically adjust an available range for editing an attribute in an image. An image editing system computes a metric for an attribute in an input image as a function of a latent space representation of the input image and a filtering vector for editing the input image. The image editing system compares the metric to a threshold. If the metric exceeds the threshold, then the image editing system selects a first range for editing the attribute in the input image. If the metric does not exceed the threshold, a second range is selected. The image editing system causes display of a user interface for editing the input image comprising an interface element for editing the attribute within the selected range.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Wei-An Lin, Baldo Faieta, Cameron Smith, Elya Shechtman, Jingwan Lu, Jun-Yan Zhu, Niloy Mitra, Ratheesh Kalarot, Richard Zhang, Shabnam Ghadar, Zhixin Shu
