  • Publication number: 20240121350
    Abstract: A video editor is configured to create and edit video content. These configurations provide tools to create shorter segments or video “moments” from longer video content. The tools may permit an end user to embedded information that identifies objects that appear in the short video segments. In one implementation, the video editor can provide interactive tools for the end use to manually create, edit, and “tag” objects in the shorter segment. The video editor may alternatively create a listing of text or transcription. The end user may, in turn, interact with this listing to create the smaller segments of the video content. Once complete, the tools may allow the end user to publish the shorter segments individually or as a collection through their own channels or social media, which may, inter alia, drive consumer views and customer conversion to the identified products and goods.

  • Patent number: 10798296
    Abstract: A method for operating a camera system for detecting codings, in which positions of contour points of the codings are determined in relation to edges of a search zone of the camera system, wherein a reading reliability of the search zone is determined from a distance of the contour points from the edges of the search zone.

  • Patent number: 10666370
    Abstract: An apparatus of a wireless device can include baseband processing circuitry configured to generate a digitized downconverted signal based on a received radio frequency (RF) signal. The apparatus can also include estimation circuitry configured to detect a blocker signal in the downconverted signal, the blocker signal having power that exceeds a pre-determined threshold, and map the detected blocker signal to a plurality of harmonic frequencies associated with two or more carrier frequencies. The apparatus can include reference signal generation circuitry configured to generate a reference signal based on the plurality of harmonic frequencies and the received RF signal. The apparatus can include cancellation circuitry configured to apply a pre-processed reference signal (based on the reference signal) to the digitized downconverted signal to remove distortion associated with the detected blocker signal. The digitized downconverted signal is a baseband signal or an intermediate frequency (IF) signal.

  • Patent number: 10172143
    Abstract: A method includes estimating a transmit leakage signal for a duplexer, where the duplexer is included in a transceiver that includes a transmit chain and a receive chain; squaring an envelope of the estimated transmit leakage signal; generating a replica signal based at least on the squared envelope of the estimated transmit leakage signal; and subtracting the replica signal from a total received signal in the receive chain to generate a wanted received baseband signal.

  • Patent number: 10097220
    Abstract: Examples provide a device, an apparatus, a method, a computer program, a receiver, a mobile terminal and a base station. An interference detection device (10) is configured to generate an auxiliary interference signal for a multi-carrier receive signal. The device (10) comprises a generator (12) configured to generate a plurality of oscillator signals. The plurality of oscillator signals comprises at least a first oscillator signal with a first local oscillator frequency. The plurality of oscillator signals further comprises a second oscillator signal with a second local oscillator frequency. The device (10) further comprises a plurality of subsequent mixers. A first mixer (14) is configured to mix the multi-carrier receive signal with the first oscillator signal to output a first mixed signal. A second mixer (16) is configured to mix a second mixed signal with the second oscillator signal to output the auxiliary interference signal.

  • Patent number: 9935722
    Abstract: A transceiver includes local oscillator (LO) signal circuitry configured to output an LO signal having an LO frequency and mixer circuitry configured to input the LO signal and an information signal that encodes communication data and output a shifted signal that corresponds to the information signal shifted to a desired frequency. The LO signal circuitry includes selection circuitry and generation circuitry. The selection circuitry is configured to select a pulse pattern and a gap duration based at least on a target harmonic of the LO frequency to be suppressed. The pulse pattern includes at least two pulses spaced apart by a gap having the gap duration. The generation circuitry is configured to generate an LO signal characterized by the selected pulse pattern and gap duration.
