  • Patent number: 10665204
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples for adjusting screen brightness based on screen content being presented on a display screen of a mobile device. The described examples may determine a time at which the screen content is to be evaluated. The screen content is categorized based on the evaluation. A category of the screen content may be input into a machine learning algorithm that may be used to determine whether a screen brightness adjustment is appropriate. If a screen brightness adjustment is appropriate, a degree of the screen brightness adjustment may be determined.

  • Patent number: 10620455
    Abstract: An eye-mounted display includes a scleral contact lens with one or more femtoprojectors that project images onto the user's retina. The scleral contact lens has a non-circular perimeter, for example elongated along the direction of the eye opening. The non-circular shape can result in less slippage and/or rotation of the contact lens relative to the eye. If the contact lens is elongated (compared to traditional circular lenses), then it can contain conductive coils that enclose a larger area. Thus, the lens increases coupling efficiency for power or data transfer. There can also be more space within the contact lens for payloads.

  • Patent number: 10551616
    Abstract: A display device system includes a display engine and optical waveguide. The display engine includes an image former, that produces light corresponding to an image, and one or more lens groups that collimate the light corresponding to the image and outputs the light from the display engine. Each lens group includes one or more lenses that share a mechanical axis. The light corresponding to the image produced by the image former has an optical axis ray coincident with a principal ray of the light that originates at a center of the image produced by the image former. At least one lens group has its mechanical axis tilted relative to the optical axis ray of the light corresponding to the image produced by the image former, to prevent a ghost image from being formed by light corresponding to the image that is reflected-back from the waveguide toward the display engine.

  • Patent number: 10540008
    Abstract: A method and system for assisting a user when interacting with a graphical user interface combines gaze based input with gesture based user commands. A user of a computer system without a traditional touch-screen can interact with graphical user interfaces in a touch-screen like manner using a combination of gaze based input and gesture based user commands. A solution for touch-screen like interaction uses gaze input and gesture based input as a complement or an alternative to touch-screen interactions with a computer device having a touch-screen. Combined gaze and gesture based interaction with graphical user interfaces can be used to achieve a touchscreen like environment in computer systems without a traditional touchscreen or in computer systems having a touchscreen arranged ergonomically unfavorable for the user or a touchscreen arranged such that it is more comfortable for the user to use gesture and gaze for the interaction than the touchscreen.
