  • Publication number: 20250174216
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for modifying musical signals. An exemplary system for modifying musical signals has at least one non-contact switch. The non-contact switch includes an actuator that translates and rotates when pushed and turned, respectively, by a user. A sensor, such as a magnetic field sensor, an optical sensor, an AC induction sensor, or another non-contact sensing device, senses the position of the actuator, which may include both translational position and rotational position. Modification of the musical signals may be based on the position of the actuator. No physical contact between the actuator and the sensor is required during operation of the non-contact switch. Accordingly, the forces generated during the pushing and turning of the non-contact switch are applied to the non-contact switch, while the sensor and other components within the effects unit are isolated from the forces.

  • Publication number: 20240373216
    Abstract: Logic may receive one or more heatmaps captured by one or more user devices associated with a user, wherein each of the one or more heatmaps include data related to wireless communications. The logic may store the one or more heatmaps in a heatmap data structure associated with a user profile for the user. The logic may receive a login attempt with a heatmap, the login attempt associated with the user. The logic may generate a score for the login attempt by comparing the heatmap with the one or more heatmaps stored in a heatmap data structure associated with the user profile for the user. And, in some embodiments, the logic may determine to authenticate the login attempt based on the score.

  • Patent number: 12136122
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a method and system for automated incremental payments. The system may identify recurring charges from historical account data. Based on the recurring charges and an incremental period, the system may calculate an incremental amount and expected amount. At each iteration of the incremental period, the incremental amount may be assigned to a savings bucket. The value of the savings bucket may be subtracted from an actual account balance to calculate a reduced account balance. The system may generate and transmit a graphical user interface to a user device showing the reduced account balance. The system may receive current data containing a charge that corresponds to the recurring charges. The system may reduce the value of the savings bucket by the amount of the current data charge. If the current data charge is different from the expected amount, the system may adjust the incremental amount accordingly.

  • Patent number: 12131736
    Abstract: In some implementations, a recording device may obtain a settings configuration associated with deactivating an audio recording function or an audio processing function of the recording device, wherein the settings configuration indicates one or more deactivation events. The recording device may obtain first audio content associated with the recording device for identifying audio prompts associated with causing the recording device to perform one or more actions. The recording device may detect a deactivation event of the one or more deactivation events. The recording device may refrain from obtaining audio content based on detecting the deactivation event and until an activation event is detected. The recording device may obtain second audio content associated with the recording device based on detecting the activation event.

  • Patent number: 12118072
    Abstract: In some implementations, a server may receive, from a user device, one or more credentials associated with a user. Accordingly, the server may transmit, to the user device, instructions for generating a user interface including a plurality of visual components based on authenticating the user with the one or more credentials. The server may detect, during a first interval, a lack of interaction with the user interface. Accordingly, the server may remove one of the plurality of visual components from the user interface based on the lack of interaction. Additionally, the server may detect, during a second interval, one or more interactions with the user interface and may update a similarity score associated with the user based on properties associated with the one or more interactions. Accordingly, the server may restore the visual component to the user interface based on the updated similarity score satisfying a similarity threshold.
