  • Patent number: 12613664
    Abstract: Communication setting information for use in UWB communication is exchanged between a mobile terminal and an image forming apparatus by BLE communication. Information for identifying a ranging target is transmitted from the mobile terminal to the image forming apparatus by BLE communication or UWB communication, and the ranging target is identified by the image forming apparatus based on the received information. Ranging is started when the ranging target is identified, and the ranging request data is transmitted to the identified ranging target. The ranging is continued until a measured distance satisfies a first condition, and when the measured distance satisfies the first condition and the ranging is terminated, login authentication is performed on a user having logged in the mobile terminal, for the image forming apparatus.

  • Patent number: 12525058
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for extracting high resolution oculometric parameters and eye movement parameters. A video stream having a video of a face of a user is processed to obtain a set of oculometric parameters, such as eyelid data, iris data (e.g., iris translation, iris radius and iris rotation), and pupil data (e.g., pupil center and pupil radius). The oculometric parameters are generated at a first temporal resolution. The oculometric parameters are up sampled to increase the temporal resolution to a second temporal resolution. The oculometric parameters are then processed to generate various eye movement parameters such as blink parameter, pupil response parameter, saccade parameter, anti-saccade parameter, fixation parameter, or smooth pursuit parameter. The oculometric parameters are synchronized with a video stimulus presented on a user device prior to generating the eye movement parameters.
