  • Patent number: 11669993
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining position and pose of as well as tracking an object in a physical environment based on the emission and sensing of light signals. The derived position, pose and tracking information may be used in a VR/AR environment. The disclosed systems and methods allow for the improved tracking of both active and passive devices. In addition, the disclosed systems and methods enable an arbitrary number of light sensors to be disposed on an object, thereby increasing accuracy and mitigating the effects of occlusion of certain light sensors. Position and pose estimates may be refined and tracked using a filter lattice responsive to changes in observed system states and/or settings. Further, data received from an inertial measurement unit may be used to increase tracking accuracy as well as position and pose determination itself.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8799355
    Abstract: A client/server distribution system for applications, media, messages, and other items operates by distributing a list of items to client devices, then the client devices may generate a user interface that reflects the availability of the items based on the capabilities of the device and permissions of the user. The distribution system may distribute media for consumption on the clients, applications that may be executed on the server, messages for status and other purposes. Each item may have an associated application that may be launched from the user interface, and the client devices may customize the launch script or other configuration based on the characteristics of the client device and permissions of the user.

  • Publication number: 20070143411
    Abstract: A user defines mutually exclusive inbox and spam folders to which emails are routed based on a rating assigned to each email. A variable user-defined range defines a mapping of the ratings to each folder. Incoming emails are routing to one of the folders according to the range. A reference set of emails is designated, each having a rating and either an inbox label or a spam label. A display indicates the number the reference emails in each folder if the reference emails are routed to one of the folders according to their ratings and according to the user-defined range.
