Publication number: 20230222894Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for determining a notification based on device properties. A device identification database may associate device identifications with device properties. A device identification associated with a device may be received, and corresponding device properties may be determined. Based on the device properties, a notification may be determined and sent.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Adam Eng, Tyler Vitale

Publication number: 20230122164Abstract: A speaker system uses destructive wave interference to generate “dead spots” with respect to an audio presentation. The signal for the dead spot generating device can be an inverted signal generated using the audio signal. In one embodiment, the inverted signal is generated using the audio signal, an indication of loudness at one or more active speakers, and a determination of the characteristics of the sound path from the one or more active speakers (including delay and attenuation).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventor: Adam ENG

Publication number: 20220394944Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a method that may include receiving a watering restriction for a location, detecting that a sprinkler controller is associated with a property within the location, and transmitting, to the sprinkler controller, the watering restriction. Additionally, a method may include receiving, at a sprinkler controller, a watering restriction for a location, the sprinkler controller associated with a property within the location, and adjusting, in response to the watering restriction, a sprinkling schedule for the property.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Inventors: Adam Eng, Pat W. Goodwin, James A. Heffner, Kevin Nervick, Paul Vaillancourt

Publication number: 20220377468Abstract: Audio content captured by a plurality of microphones associated with a device, such as a hearing device, may be received. It may be determined that a first portion of the audio content is associated with a first microphone of the plurality of microphones. The first microphone may be a unidirectional microphone. Audio indicative of the first portion may be generated and sent to the device for output. It may be determined that a second portion of the audio content is associated with a second, different microphone of the plurality of microphones. The second microphone may be an omnidirectional microphone. Audio indicative of the second portion may be generated and sent to the device for output.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2021Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventor: Adam Eng

Publication number: 20220168540Abstract: Methods are disclosed for receiving and processing video content to aid in a user's rest cycles, such as sleep and wake cycles. Video content may be received and processed to determine information related to a plurality of pixels to be displayed on a screen. Each of the plurality of pixels may have a corresponding color value. A time of day when the video content is to be displayed is determined, and compared to a current time of day. Based on the comparison or other data, a color value of one or more of the pixels can be adjusted or changed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2021Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventors: Adam Eng, Glenn Barnett

Publication number: 20220124345Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for providing variable bitrate content (e.g., video content, audio content, multimedia content, etc.). The content may comprise a plurality of portions (e.g., frames, segments, fragments, etc.). Each portion of the content may be tagged and/or associated with a content element. A content element may be associated with and/or indicate one or more of an encoding parameter associated with a respective portion of the content, attributes of the content (e.g., a scene transition, scene change, etc.) associated with the respective portion of the content, or additional content related items (e.g., one or more advertisements, etc.) associated with the respective portion of the content. The content element may be used to determine a bitrate to associate with the respective portion of the content. The content may be received/retrieved according to the determined bitrates.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2021Publication date: April 21, 2022Inventors: Adam Eng, David Eng

Publication number: 20210368415Abstract: Networking devices may allow for directed wireless communication. Such devices may comprise a movable antenna within a spherical housing having different ports associated with different positions, and may direct wireless communication beams in different directions to provide access to different zones by moving the antenna. A user may configure a system to prioritize or restrict zones or devices based on criteria. This prioritization may facilitate tiered services among users or devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2021Publication date: November 25, 2021Inventors: William Bellis, Christine Compton, Nirav Dave, Adam Eng, David Eng, Brendan Lavery, Tamara Nowakowski, Anupama Vaidya
