Patent number: 11756563Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for performing multi-path calculations for energy levels on an electronic device. For instance, the electronic device may include a first circuit and a second circuit, where the first circuit uses less power than the second circuit. As such, when operating in a standby mode, the electronic device may use the first circuit to calculate energy levels at the electronic device, such as speech-energy values and ambient-energy values. Additionally, while operating in an active mode, the electronic device may active the second circuit and then use the second circuit to calculate the energy levels at the electronic device. The first circuit and the second circuit can send/receive current energy levels between one another so that the electronic device can continually calculate the energy levels even when the electronic device switches between modes of operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2019Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bhupal Kanaiyalal Dharia, Dibyendu Nandy, Marko Bundalo, Hannan Ma

Patent number: 11189273Abstract: Apparatuses and systems for conserving power for a portable electronic device that monitors local audio for a wakeword are described herein. In a non-limiting embodiment, a portable electronic device may have two-phases. The first phase may be a first circuit that stores an audio input while determining whether human speech is present in the audio input. The second phase may be a second circuit that activates when the first circuit determines that human speech is present in the audio input. The second circuit may receive the audio input from the first circuit, store the audio input, and determine whether a wakeword is present within the audio input.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Marko Bundalo, Dibyendu Nandy, Bhupal Kanaiyalal Dharia

Patent number: 10666077Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for remote configuration of battery charging settings. In one embodiment, an example device may include a battery, at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions, and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to access the at least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to determine that a charger is connected to the device, determine a first length of time that a maximum charging voltage for the battery has been set to a first voltage value, determine that the maximum charging voltage is to be reduced from the first voltage value to a second voltage value, and charge the battery at a maximum of the second voltage value.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2017Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bhupal Kanaiyalal Dharia, Feng Wang, Jianlin Chen, Xuezhang Dong

Patent number: 7801091Abstract: A communication system for communication using wireless signals in a fast macrodiversity switching environment. The wireless signals include downlink signals to and uplink signals from mobile stations where the wireless signals have bursts in time slots. In the communication system, a plurality of transceiver stations have broadcast channels (non-switched) and dedicated channels (switched) for the wireless signals. A zone manager controls the fast macrodiversity switching of bursts in dedicated channels among transceiver stations. The fast macrodiversity switching causes the bursts to have time shifts that are of a magnitude to cause unwanted burst overlap. A macro-diversity timing control controls the timing of bursts, to reduce burst overlap, in dedicated channels that have been dynamically switched timing problem.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2006Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Inventors: Gopal Chillariga, Bhupal Kanaiyalal Dharia, Gerhard Albert Koepf, Lance Kazumi Uyehara

Patent number: 7643423Abstract: Dynamic allocation of communication channels among communication units (CU) in a communications system. Dynamic channel allocation employs a reservation set for reserving channels and an allocation set corresponding to the reservation set for receiving allocated channels. The reservation set and the allocation set are changed dynamically as a function of network parameters to control the dynamic channel operation. Reservation set information is broadcast downlink to multiple users to reserve an allocation set of uplink radio resources for specific ones of the users. The system uses a modification of the packet data channel (PDCH) of a GPRS/EGPRS or EDGE system which employs an Uplink Status Flag (USF) on each PDCH downlink radio block. The downlink reservation set information is commonly received by all users in the group of users. Allocation delay, bandwidth efficiency and other system parameters are optimized.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2006Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Inventors: Gopal Chillariga, Rohit Kaushal, Bhupal Kanaiyalal Dharia, Lance Kazumi Uyehara, Gerhard Albert Koepf, Kevin Dean Raack, Ujjal Kumar Ghoshtagore

Patent number: 7613463Abstract: Fast macrodiversity switching (FMS) dynamically switches radio links used for traffic and control channels for a mobile station among a number of base transceiver stations (BTS) without changing the radio resource, that is, using the same frequency and time slot combination (TDMA) or frequency and spreading code combination (CDMA). The traffic channel switching is under control of zone managers. Each BTS includes a zone manager where a host BTS has its zone manager designated as a host zone manager and other BTSs (assistant BTSs) have their zone managers designated as assistant zone managers. The control by the host and assistant zone managers includes switching down-link signals to and up-link signals from mobile stations among base transceiver stations which include broadcast channels (non-switched) and dedicated (switched) channels. Measurements of the wireless signals are made at macrodiverse locations.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2008Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Inventors: Bhupal Kanaiyalal Dharia, Gopal Chillariga, Ujjal Kumar Ghoshtagore, Rohit Kaushal, Gerhard Albert Koepf, Lance Kazumi Uyehara

Patent number: 7551595Abstract: Fast macrodiversity switching (FMS) of channels that employ interleaving. The fast macrodiversity switching dynamically switches radio links used for traffic and control channels for a mobile station among a number of base transceiver stations (BTS) without switching the radio resource, using the same frequency and time slot combination (TDMA) in an environment where interleaving is occurring. The fast macrodiversity switching of channels and interleave processing is under control of an interleave manager which is distributed among zone managers. The control by the host and assistant zone managers includes switching down-link signals to and up-link signals from mobile stations among base transceiver stations which include broadcast channels (non-switched) and dedicated (switched) channels that employ interleaving. The dedicated channels are switched as frequently as a signal switch time which can be the frame rate of the up-link signals.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2006Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: Northstar Acquisitions, LLCInventors: Bhupal Kanaiyalal Dharia, Gopal Chillariga, Ujjal Kumar Ghoshtagore, Rohit Kaushal, Gerhard Albert Koepf, Lance Kazumi Uyehara
