Patent number: 10552550Abstract: Technologies for physical programming include a model compute system to determine one or more physical blocks assembled in a constructed model. The model compute system determines rules associated with the one or more physical blocks in which at least one rule defines a behavior of the constructed model and determines a program stack for execution by the model compute system based on the rules associated with the one or more physical blocks.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2015Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Glen J. Anderson, Kevin W. Bross, Shawn S. Mceuen, Mark R. Francis, Yevgeniy Y. Yarmosh, Blanka Vlasak, Gregory A. Peek, Therese E. Dugan, Cory A. Harris, Ravishankar Iyer, Omesh Tickoo, David I. Poisner

Patent number: 10328342Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and storage media for creating, discovering, and/or resolving spells using a wand are provided. In embodiments, a computing device or a wand may detect one or more gestures and sensors in the wand may generate sensor data representative of the one or more gestures. The one or more gestures may be movements performed using the wand. The sensor data representative of the one or more gestures may be converted into a spell sequence. The wand may transmit the spell sequence to a computing device, and receive, from the computing device, a spell output based on the spell sequence, a wand position, and a quest. The quest may indicate an order in which one or more second devices are to be activated and one or more spells to activate each of the one or more second devices. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2015Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: David I. Poisner, Gregory A. Peek, Blanka Vlasak, Yevgeniy Y. Yarmosh, Mark R. Francis, Ravishankar Iyer

The one or more gestures may be movements performed using the wand. The sensor data representative of the one or more gestures may be converted into a spell sequence. The wand may transmit the spell sequence to a computing device, and receive, from the computing device, an authentication spell output when the spell sequence corresponds with an authentication spell sequence or an inactivation spell output when the spell sequence does not correspond with the authentication spell sequence. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2015Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: David I. Poisner, Gregory A.
