  • Patent number: 12182323
    Abstract: Techniques for controlling light sources used in eye tracking are described. In an example, an eye tracking system generates a first image and a second image showing at least a portion of the user eye illuminated by a predetermined set of illuminators of the eye tracking system. The eye tracking system determines a first position of a glint in the first image and a second position of the glint in the second image. Each of the first position and the second position is relative to a pupil edge. The eye tracking system predicts a third position of the glint relative to the pupil edge based on the first position and the second position. Further, the eye tracking system determines, from the predetermined set, an illuminator that corresponds to the glint and determines, based on the third position, whether to power off the illuminator to generate a third image of at least the portion of the user eye.

  • Publication number: 20240031489
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for normalizing audio transmissions from multiple endpoints within a teleconference. A first audio transmission from a first participant of a teleconference can be received for presentation at the teleconference. The first audio transmission can be analyzed to classify one or more audio signatures of the first audio transmission as speech. A difference can be determined between the audio level of the one or more audio signatures and an audio level of second transmissions. Based on the difference, the first audio transmission can be normalized to adjust a gain of the first transmission. The transmission can be output to the teleconference.

  • Publication number: 20230291840
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a microphone audio signal and a playout audio signal, and determining a frequency representation of the microphone audio signal and a frequency representation of the playout audio signal. For each frequency representation, the method also includes determining features based on the frequency representation. Each feature corresponds to a pair of frequencies of the frequency representation and a period of time between the pair of frequencies. The method also includes determining that a match occurs between a first feature based on the frequency representation of the microphone audio signal and a second feature based on the frequency representation of the playout audio signal, and determining that a delay value between the first feature and the second feature corresponds to an echo within the microphone audio signal.
