  • Patent number: 12699538
    Abstract: A system and method provides for the transfer of the output of content from a user device to an external device for output by the external device. External devices may be detected in a physical space, and identified based on previous connection with the user device, based on a shared network or shared system of connected devices including the user device, based on image information captured by the user device and previously stored anchoring information that identifies the external devices, and the like. An external device may be selected for potential output of the content based on previously stored configuration information associated with the external device including, for example, output capabilities associated with the external device. The identified external device may output the transferred content in response to a user verification input, verifying that the content is to be output by the external device.

  • Patent number: 12694818
    Abstract: An e-paper poster system and method are disclosed relating to displaying an always compliant poster, such as a labor law poster, at a given location without end user effort. An e-paper display is provided and connected to a network in communication with an information source. At the termination of a sleep cycle, a wake cycle is entered by connecting the e-paper display to the information source to determine if updated poster content to maintain legal compliance is available. If there is no available updated poster content, the sleep cycle is re-entered. If there is available update poster content, an update cycle is entered by sending the updated poster content from the information source to be displayed on the e-paper display to maintain compliance without any required end user effort and then the sleep cycle is re-entered.

  • Patent number: 12688840
    Abstract: A light emitter that operates through a display may cause display artifacts, even when the light emitter operates using non-visible wavelengths. To determine whether the light emitter has caused these artifacts, a display light sensor under the display may measure backside light leakage from the display. Based on the measured backside light leakage, the display light sensor or control circuitry may determine whether artifacts in the display exceed a predetermined acceptable artifact range. If the artifacts exceed this range, the artifacts may be mitigated. To mitigate the artifacts, the light emitter and/or the display may be adjusted. For example, the timing and/or dosage of the light emitter, the acceptable artifact range, and/or the timing of display content may be adjusted. In this way, the display light sensor may be used to form a closed-loop system to determine whether artifacts are present in the display and to mitigate those artifacts.

  • Patent number: 12681637
    Abstract: Some aspects relate to technologies for providing keyboard emulators on product webpages of mechanical keyboards to emulate the tactile and/our auditory features of the mechanical keyboards. To configure a keyboard emulator for a given mechanical keyboard, a user interface is provided for presentation on a first user device. An input is received via the user interface that adjusts an element of a haptic pattern and/or a sound pattern for the keyboard emulator. Based on the input, a configured haptic pattern and/or configured sound pattern is provided for the virtual keys of the keyboard emulator. Once configured, the keyboard emulator is provided on a product webpage for the mechanical keyboard for presentation on a second user device. User interaction with virtual keys of the keyboard emulator causes the second user device to provide a haptic feedback and/or sound using the configured haptic pattern and/or configured sound pattern.

  • Patent number: 12626332
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a projection data processing method, to reduce a delay in a wireless projection process. In the embodiments of this application, the method includes: A projection transmit end obtains network status information, and determines a target resolution of an image to be projected based on the network status information; and then determines a to-be-synthesized layer based on whether the image is in a full-screen scenario. Therefore, an amount of data to be sent during projection can be reduced, and a projection delay can be reduced. In addition, a projection receive end can perform super-resolution on the image, to avoid image quality damage caused by reducing the amount of data sent by the transmit end. This solution reduces the projection delay and ensures projection image quality to improve user experience.
