Publication number: 20210400624Abstract: A location control subsystem is provided that allows a user of an electronic device to define the granularity used to provide location coarseness. A user can define a coarse location granularity for an application. When a coarse device location is reported to an application, the location can be provided with at least a minimum degree of variable specificity based on the selected location coarseness. When an application is granted a coarse location, the application is to interpret the provided location indicating that the user may be anywhere within a geographic region of variable specificity, as opposed to being close to a center point with a horizontal accuracy based on the precision of the location fix, as when a fine granularity location is provided. In addition to reducing the spatial resolution of the location that is reported to the application, the temporal resolution may also be reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventors: Adam Driscoll, Siraj Taqi Abidi, Jessica Aranda, Matthew Ball, Krishna Behara, Patrick Coffman, Charlie Deets, Christopher Foster, Ron Huang, Erik Neuenschwander, Stephen J.

Patent number: 11188527Abstract: A term base can be used to index a raw term (e.g., a text string from an electronic health record) to generate a computational expression of the raw term. As part of doing so, portions of the raw term including personally identifying information can be removed and/or replaced with de-identified information. The computational expression of the raw term can be used to generate a version of the raw term that is devoid of the personally identifying information.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: David W. Padgett, John P. Clark, Brian A. Carlsen, Jeffrey D. LaMarche, Jason B. Morley, Christian Schroeder, Mark E. Pennell, Zhe Li, Jorge F. Pozas Trevino, Kevin M. Lynch

Publication number: 20210113106Abstract: Techniques are provided for tracking heartrate metrics using different operating modes associated with different contexts of a wearable device. For example, a heartrate sensor of the wearable device may be operated in a first operating mode when an activity is being tracked within an application session of a particular application. The heartrate sensor may be operated in a second operating mode after detecting conclusion of the activity within the activity session (e.g., during sedentary time).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2020Publication date: April 22, 2021Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christian Schroeder, Divya Padmanabhan, Erno H.

Patent number: 10874313Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure can provide systems, methods, and computer-readable medium for tracking the heartrate of a user using different techniques associated with different contexts. For example, motion of a user wearing a wearable device can be tracked using at least first sensors of the one or more sensors. The physical state of the user can also be tracked using at least second sensors of the one or more sensors. In some cases it can be determines whether an application of the wearable device has been launched. Additionally, an activity category of the user can be determined based at least in part on the motion of the user, the physical state of the user, and/or whether the application has been launched. Heartrate data of the user can be collected, and the heartrate data can be categorized based at least in part on the determined category.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2017Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christian Schroeder, Divya Padmanabhan, Erno H.

Patent number: 10449859Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel cell vehicle (200), in which the driver has more influence on the consumption and the dynamic of the vehicle (200). This is achieved by the fuel cell vehicle (200) comprising at least one sensor for detecting a first driver input and a control unit (60). The control unit (60) is configured to operate the fuel cell vehicle (200) in one of a plurality of operating modes depending on the first driver input, wherein a power consumption PAC of the air-conditioning system (70), an operating range of the fuel cell stack (10), and a transfer function for determining the power demand PEM from the second driver input are varied depending on the selected operating mode. It is provided that the driver has at least five different operating modes available, which differ in particular with respect to the available driving dynamic, the fuel consumption, and the adjustable comfort.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignees: VOLKSWAGEN AG, AUDI AGInventors: Nils Brandau, Christian Schröder
