Patent number: 10794606Abstract: Systems and methods of using active infrared (AIR) sensors to map a room of a home or building and determine whether an external portal (e.g., window and/or door) of the room is open or closed are provided. In particular, the systems and methods include outputting infrared (IR) light from an IR light source of an active infrared (AIR) sensor, receiving reflected IR light with a light sensor, and determining, with a processor coupled to the light sensor, whether a window of a room is open according to the received reflected IR light.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2017Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Laura Rabb, Andrea Colaco, Ghulam A. Kirmani, Aveek Ravishekhar Purohit, Luis Villaran, Kenneth Louis Herman, Bryan James, Casey Mills Davis, Yash Modi

Publication number: 20200196915Abstract: In an implementation of the disclosed subject matter, a device may emit a first emission sequence of infrared radiation at a subject, and capture a first reflected sequence of infrared radiation reflected from the subject. The first emission sequence may be compared to the first reflected sequence, and, based on the comparison, a sequence of variations may be determined. The sequence of variations may be compared to signal pattern stored in a sleep profile for the subject. The subject may be determined to have exhibited sleep behavior based on the comparison of the sequence of variations to the signal pattern stored in the sleep profile. In response to determining the subject has exhibited sleep behavior, the device may capture a second reflected sequence of radiation reflected from the subject. A breathing rate of the subject and/or a heart rate of the subject may be determined based on the second reflected sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2020Publication date: June 25, 2020Inventors: Laura Rabb, Andrea Colaco, Michael Dixon, Ghulam A. Kirmani, Luis Villaran, Kenneth Louis Herman, Bryan James, Casey Mills Davis, Yash Modi

Patent number: 9984519Abstract: A method and system for optically detecting a user. A sequence of patterns of radiation reflected from an object in a room may be captured by a device. The patterns of radiation may be infrared radiation emitted from the device. A sequence of variations between the captured sequence of patterns of radiation and the emitted sequence of patterns of radiation may be determined and object characteristics of an object may be determined based upon the sequence of variations. The object characteristics may be a sequence of dimensions of the object and a sequence of locations of the object. The method may determine the first is a user based upon the determined object characteristics and a room profile. The room profile may include a plurality of object characteristics of one or more objects in the room.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2015Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Kenneth Louis Herman, Laura Rabb, Michael Dixon, Andrea Colaco, Ghulam A.
