  • Publication number: 20250134369
    Abstract: A human-eye state detection device is provided, which includes an image capturing device and a processor. The image capturing device is configured to continuously capture a plurality of frames of facial images of a user. The processor determines an eye area from the frames of facial images, and calculates an eye-opening average based on the eye area. The processor repeatedly updates the eye-opening threshold based on the average eye-opening value. In response to the average eye-opening value being less than the eye-opening threshold, the processor determines that the user is in an eye-closing state.

  • Publication number: 20240306106
    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The method may be performed by a UE. In certain configurations, the UE receives, from a base station, a configuration instruction for enabling a subband full duplex (SBFD) timing alignment (TA) mechanism and a constant c. The UE enables the SBFD TA mechanism according to the configuration instruction. The UE receives, from the base station, a timing adjustment command, which includes a propagation delay ?i for the UE. The UE determines whether an uplink (UL) transmission is to be performed in a SBFD slot. In response to determining the UL transmission to be performed in the SBFD slot, the UE applies a timing alignment delay to the UL transmission with respect to the SBFD slot start boundary. The timing alignment delay is determined by both the constant c and the propagation delay ?i.
