Patent number: 11947780Abstract: A method at an electronic device with a display includes: displaying a user interface having a first region and a second region; receiving, and displaying in the first region of the user interface, a live video stream of a physical environment captured by a remote video camera; displaying, in the second region, a timeline corresponding to a timespan for a first portion of a duration during which the live video stream may have been recorded; in response to receiving a user interaction to move the timespan to a second portion of the duration, transitioning the displayed timeline to a new timeline that corresponds to the timespan for the second portion, and while transitioning, displaying, in the first region, a subset of video frames representing the first and/or second portion of the duration.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Christopher Charles Burns, George Alban Heitz, III, James Edward Stewart, Cameron Hill, Seungho Yang, Joe Delone Venters, William Alex Finlayson, Carsten Hinz, Timothy Samuel Psiaki, Nathan Scott Klee, Gregory Rourk Nelson, Kevin James Avery, Lawrence W.

Patent number: 11670051Abstract: Described are systems and methods that enable users to virtually experience an environment at a destination location from their own user device, control their experience and even interact with others that are physically located within the environment. Likewise, the user's experience may even be improved with the inclusion of enhancements that are presented to the user as the user experiences the environment. Users may interact with the enhancements to obtain additional enhancements, interact with others physically located within the environment, interact with and direct a guide that is physically located within the environment, and receive near real-time video and audio that is transmitted from a guide device located within the environment.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2022Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Kelly, Matthew Brinkley, Ting-Hsiang Hwang, Amy Bergsieker, Cameron Charles, Elliot Chong, Gonzalo Ramos, Babak Amir Parviz

Publication number: 20220261094Abstract: Some embodiments include a handheld device with programmable physical buttons. The physical buttons may be configured to perform different actions based on an orientation of the handheld device. Dynamically mapping actions to physical buttons may be based on an orientation condition that measures any one of orientation state of the device, a current application state, a change in the orientation state, or current device status. The actions may be updated automatically based on the orientation condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2021Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Cameron Charles COLE, Ranil Ignatius Fernando, Fareed Uddin, Seda Kutlu, Kenneth John North, Joel Christopher Kent

Patent number: 4001690Abstract: A digital system utilizing communication satellite links is arranged to minimize the satellite link transmission time delay variation and achieve bit synchronization of the incoming data to a common bit clock at a central tandem switching or collection center.The incoming data bit rate from each subsidiary center is monitored by suitable means such as a threshold detector to determine if the time delay rate is changing relative to the tandem center central timing. Each of the lines from every subsidiary center has minimal buffering means in the tandem center to absorb short-term changes in the input data rate. A message selecting and encoding network is provided in the tandem center for each subsidiary center to generate a return bit rate message to its respective subsidiary center. Each subsidiary center is provided with suitable decoders, logic, and an oscillator to change the data bit rate in response to the control message from the tandem center.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 1975Date of Patent: January 4, 1977Assignee: RCA CorporationInventors: Alfred Mack, Cameron Charles Schweitzer
