Publication number: 20240127808Abstract: Implementations relate to an automated assistant that can determine whether to respond to inputs in an environment according to whether radar data indicates a user is present. When user presence is detected, the automated assistant can virtually segment the environment and apply certain operational parameters to certain segments of the environment. For instance, the automated assistant can enable an input detection feature, such as warm word detection, for a segmented portion of the environment in which a user is detected. In this way, false positives can be mitigated for instances in which environmental and/or user sounds are detected by the automated assistant but do not originate from a particular segment of the environment. Other parameters, such as varying confidence thresholds and/or speech processing biasing, can be temporarily enforced for different segments of an environment in which a user is detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Varn Khanna, Chintan Trehan

Publication number: 20240013734Abstract: This application is directed to a method for correct temperature measurement. An electronic device includes a temperature sensor that measures an ambient temperature of an environment and a display that is driven by a display driver. The electronic device determines a brightness setting of the display, estimates a display driver current based on the brightness setting, estimates a driver efficiency of the display driver based on the display driver current, and combines a predetermined display driver voltage, the display driver current, and the driver efficiency to determine a power consumption of the display driver. An ambient temperature correction is determined in accordance with the determined power consumption of the display driver, and the measured ambient temperature is thereby corrected using the ambient temperature correction. In some implementations, a power consumption of a distinct heat-generating electronic component is also monitored for adjusting the ambient temperature correction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Jeffrey Kevin Tu, Kristen Rebecca Pownell, Philip Hobson Boothby, Arun Prakash Raghupathy, Emil Rahim, Chintan Trehan

Patent number: 11832426Abstract: The present disclosure describes thermal mitigation for an electronic speaker device and associated systems and methods. The thermal mitigation includes monitoring several thermal zones to determine or estimate thermal conditions in corresponding parts of the electronic speaker device. The thermal zones may include a System-on-Chip (SoC) integrated circuit (IC) component, audio components including power-dissipating IC components, and a temperature of an exterior surface of a housing component of the electronic speaker device. To mitigate thermal runaway, different throttling schemes may be triggered based on the thermal zones exceeding certain thermal limits. The throttling schemes may include reducing the amount of power supplied to the SoC, reducing audio power of the audio components to a lower wattage, or manipulating SoC cores such as by disabling one or more of the cores or adjusting utilization of the SoC cores.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Emil Rahim, Chintan Trehan, Ihab A.

Patent number: 11194355Abstract: A circuit includes an output current circuit that employs a regulated voltage to provide an output voltage to drive a load current through an output load resistor. A load resistance sensor (LRS) senses the resistance of the output load resistor based on the output voltage and the load current. A controller provides a sense voltage control command to set the regulated voltage to an initial sense voltage during a sense mode. The initial sense voltage adjusts the output voltage of the output current circuit and enables the LRS to sense the resistance of the output load resistor at a given setting of the load current. The controller provides a clamp control command based on the sensed resistance of the output load resistor to set the regulated voltage to a fixed regulated voltage during an operation mode. The fixed regulated voltage enables the output current circuit to supply a predetermined maximum load current to the output load resistor at a predetermined minimum setting of the output voltage.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2014Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Navin Venkata Kommaraju, Rahul Prakash, Chintan Trehan

Patent number: 10804027Abstract: An augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) system employs a tracking system for tracking one or more components of the AR/VR system using a generated electromagnetic (EM) field. The tracking system employs an EM coil for generating the EM field or, alternatively, sensing the EM field. The EM coil includes a core substrate and thin metal foil wrapped around the core substrate in three orthogonal axes. The EM coil is effectively “hollow” in that it weighs less than a conventional solid ferrite or ferrous core of comparable dimensions, either through the use of one or more openings formed in the core substrate, the use of a material less dense than ferrite or ferrous materials, the formation of the core substrate as a hollow framework, or a combination thereof. The resulting EM coil thus weighs less than conventional solid-core EM coils, thereby reducing user fatigue and the possibility of misalignment of the EM coil as a result from a drop impact of the device implementing the EM coil.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2019Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Eric Dayringer, Chintan Trehan, Bhaskar Vadathavoor

Patent number: 10444865Abstract: Techniques of tracking a hand controller in a VR system involves detecting, by photodiodes in the hand controller, patterns of diffuse radiation generated by diffuse LEDs in the HMD. Such techniques can also include comparing the detected patterns to those simulated offline previously and represented in a lookup table (LUT). By looking up the detected patterns in the LUT, the VR system may determine the position and/or orientation of the hand controller with sub-millimeter accuracy. Some advantages of the improved techniques can be in the simplicity and/or low cost of the components without sacrificing accuracy in deriving the position and orientation of the hand controller.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2018Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Ghulam Kirmani, Andrea Colaco, Luis Villaran, Chintan Trehan
