  • Publication number: 20250251787
    Abstract: An extended reality (XR) device, for example, a head mounted device (HMD), may provide a visual element when the medium determines that a wearer of the XR device is likely engaging with a physical device. This physical device is then set as the physical object of user focus. An application that is associated with the object of focus is identified and the XR device renders the visual element based on the associated application. The XR device may be caused to prevent displaying a graphical element generated by an application other than the associated application. The visual element may be rendered by the XR device at a fixed location anchored relative to the object of user focus.

  • Publication number: 20250242235
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for improving remote computing experiences. The methods leverage modified PC or console architectures, which enable both local and remote console connections. The systems operate with multiple devices through a peer-to-peer connection. In the context of gaming, the systems are engineered to address obstacles such as low upstream rates and limited bandwidth or quality of service. An AI trained on play style is used as a substitute for a low bandwidth client. Also, methods are provided for inviting remote players, transferring control to a remote user, managing controller connections, and addressing low bandwidth situations using adaptive bitrate. The enhancement of connection, single encoding, and transmission processes contributes to a superior computing and/or gaming experience for all players, irrespective of their bandwidth or quality of service.

  • Publication number: 20250238530
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for entering a guarded mode of an operating system of a computing device. A guarding system may receive a user input at a computing device. The operating system of the computing device may be configured to operate in a guarded mode or a non-guarded mode. The guarding system may determine, while the operating system is operating in the non-guarded mode, that the received user input matches a user input configured to initiate the guarded mode. The guarding system may cause the operating system to transition from the non-guarded mode to the guarded mode. In response to the operating system transitioning to the guarded mode, the guarding system may modify at least one attribute of a third-party application installed on the computing device.

  • Patent number: 12344063
    Abstract: Two or more sensors positioned at a wheel of a stopped vehicle may detect an unwanted substance, and transmit signals, based on which a height level of the substance is determined. The system may also determine a type of the substance, such as water, snow, sand or mud, based on electrical resistance of the substance detected by the sensors. Cameras or other imaging equipment, including LIDAR, may also be used to determine the substance height and/or composition. Accordingly, actions to protect the vehicle may be taken, such as raising or lowering the ride height of the vehicle body using an adjustable suspension of the vehicle. Other protective actions may include closing vents, seals, valves and battery isolation units, and transmitting messages to a vehicle driver and/or to emergency personnel.

  • Publication number: 20250199615
    Abstract: Described are devices that provide thermal haptic feedback. A touchpad, touchscreen or other such device may receive an indication of an adjustment at a first portion of a touch user interface, and in response, determine a temperature setting based on the adjustment. Voltage supplied to a matrix of temperature actuating elements at the touch user interface may then automatically control the haptic temperature feedback. Color and brightness correction may be provided to account for the heat of the temperature actuating elements. Also, the thermal haptic feedback may be provided by a trackball. In response to an adjustment of a value of a parameter effected by the trackball, the medium may automatically control one or more temperature actuating elements in the trackball to provide a haptic temperature feedback.

  • Publication number: 20250162413
    Abstract: Sensors disposed on a steering wheel sense contact of a user's hands with the steering wheel. The sensors are arranged into several zones that wrap around the steering wheel. Each zone is adjacent to at least two other zones. Data from the sensors is continuously received by input/output circuitry. Control circuitry determines a time series of pressures for each zone based on the data from the sensors. The time series of pressures for the zones are stored in a data structure that is looped. The time series of pressures of the data structure is compared to a time series of pressures of a reference data structure. An action to control at least one element of the vehicle is performed based on the comparison. In some embodiments, the steering wheel includes handlebars and the sensors are disposed in handlebar grips.
