  • Patent number: 11405913
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are related to a system and a method of remotely rendering artificial reality. In one approach, a console determines an expected transmission end time of a first session for wireless transmission of image data indicating an image of artificial reality to a head wearable display. In one approach, the console determines an expected process end time of generating additional data associated with the image of the artificial reality. In one approach, the console compares the expected transmission end time and the expected process end time. The console may transmit, to the head wearable display in the first session, the additional data together with the image data, in response to the expected process end time being less than the expected transmission end time.

  • Publication number: 20220116893
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are related to coordinating communication among a first access point, a first station device, a second access point, and a second station device. In one aspect, the second access point receives, from the first access point, a first beacon of the first access point at a first beacon transmission time. The first beacon may indicate an offset between the first beacon transmission time of the first beacon and a first data transmission time of the first access point for communication between the first access point and a first station device. In one aspect, the second access point may determine, according to the offset, a second data transmission time of the second access point to be distinct from the first data transmission time of the first access point. The second access point may communicate with a second station device, according to the second data transmission time.

  • Patent number: 10984732
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with an array of pixels configured to display images for a user. The electronic device may have an ambient light sensor for gathering ambient light information. The ambient light sensor may be at least partially covered by the display. The ambient light sensor may be switched into use during blanking periods when a portion of the display overlapping with the display is temporarily turned off. The ambient light sensor may include a photodetector, a first stage with an amplifier, first and second capacitors selectively coupled across the amplifier, and a second accumulation stage. During blanking time, the first capacitor may integrate photodetector current. During non-blanking, the charge stored in the first capacitor may be transferred to the second accumulation stage while the second capacitor applies an offset voltage to the photodetector to prevent undesired charge injection into the photodetector.
