  • Patent number: 11808839
    Abstract: Various arrangements for performing an initial setup process of a sleep tracking device are presented. User input may be received that requests a sleep tracking setup process be performed. In response to the user input, a detection process may be performed based on data received from the radar sensor to determine whether a user is present and static. In response to the detection process determining that the user is present and static, a consistency analysis may be performed over a time period to assess a duration of time that the user is present and static. Based on the consistency analysis, sleep tracking may be activated such that when the user is detected in bed via the radar sensor, the user's sleep is tracked.

  • Publication number: 20230334240
    Abstract: A first version of an electronic document is provided via a first region of a graphical user interface (GUI) for presentation to a first user of a collaborative document platform. A second region of the GUI includes an edit history GUI element that enables one or more users to access each edit made to the electronic document. A user selection of a portion of the edit history GUI element is detected. The user-selected portion of the edit history GUI element corresponds to edits made to the electronic document by a second user. A determination is made of a state of the electronic document following the edits made by the second user. The first region of the GUI is updated to include a rendering of a second version of the electronic document. The second version is rendered in view of the determined document state.

  • Patent number: 11792597
    Abstract: Beamforming can improve the audio quality and/or intensity in a particular direction, which can help a user hear, especially in certain environments. Augmented reality glasses can track the eye, or eyes, of a user which can trigger and guide the beamforming towards a particular object of interest, such as a person speaking. The beamforming may be made efficient by storing information necessary for beamforming in a database and recalling the information at runtime.

  • Publication number: 20230325148
    Abstract: A method for a contextual assistant to use mouse pointing or touch cues includes receiving audio data corresponding to a query spoken by a user, receiving, in a graphical user interface displayed on a screen, a user input indication indicating a spatial input applied at a first location on the screen, and processing the audio data to determine a transcription of the query. The method also includes performing query interpretation on the transcription to determine that the query is referring to an object displayed on the screen without uniquely identifying the object, and requesting information about the object. The method further includes disambiguating, using the user input indication indicating the spatial input applied at the first location on the screen, the query to uniquely identify the object that the query is referring to, obtaining the information about the object requested by the query, and providing a response to the query.

  • Publication number: 20230316142
    Abstract: Various arrangements are presented for training and using a machine learning model. A first training data set may be created that has more samples but fewer dimensions than a second dataset. A second set of training data, created from the second dataset, has at least one additional dimension of data than the first set of training data. An additional dimension of data can then be simulated for the first set of training data. The simulated additional dimension of data can be incorporated with the first set of training data. A first machine learning model can be trained based on the first set of training data that comprises the simulated additional dimension of data to obtain various weights. A second machine learning model can then be trained based on the second set of training data and the obtained plurality of weights from the first trained machine learning model.

  • Publication number: 20230308827
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a mechanism to synchronously drive distributed speakers around a user based on localization outputs of ultra wideband (UWB) communication chips already existing in devices. Distances may be determined between a user device, such as a phone or wearable, and a plurality of distributed speakers or other devices. Based on an intersection point of such distances, the user's location can be identified. Such location can be used to modify how audio is played on each of the plurality of distributed speakers.

  • Publication number: 20230305630
    Abstract: Techniques of controlling electronic devices using gestures use a wearable device on a user which translates, via a model, user movements into signals that both identify an electronic device to be controlled and a specific action to take with regard to that electronic device. The wearable device includes an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor and a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor and measure six degrees of freedom (6DOF). The model is a convolutional neural network (CNN) that takes x, y, and z-acceleration signals generated by the IMU and PPG and places each acceleration component generated from each sensor in a separate channel. The CNN takes the input from each channel and generates a respective, separate model for each channel. The output at each of the stacked layers are combined in a fully connected layer to produce CNN output identifying an electronic device and a control for the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20230306965
    Abstract: A method for separating target speech from background noise contained in an input audio signal includes receiving the input audio signal captured by a user device, wherein the input audio signal corresponds to target speech of multiple words spoken by a target user and containing background noise in the presence of the user device while the target user spoke the multiple words in the target speech. The method also includes receiving a sequence of time markers input by the target user in cadence with the target user speaking the multiple words in the target speech, and correlating the sequence of time markers with the input audio signal to generate enhanced audio features that separate the target speech from the background noise in the input audio signal. The method also includes processing, using a speech recognition model, the enhanced audio features to generate a transcription of the target speech.

  • Patent number: 11754676
    Abstract: Various devices, systems and methods for performing targeted sleep tracking are presented herein. Multiple digital radar data streams from multiple antennas may be received. A direction optimization process may be performed to determine a first weighting and a second weighting. The first weighting may be applied to a first digital radar data stream. The second weighting may be applied to a second digital radar data stream. The weighted first digital radar data stream and the weighted second digital radar data stream may be combined to create a first directionally-targeted radar data stream. A sleep analysis can be performed based on the first directionally-targeted radar data stream. Sleep data may be output for a user based on the performed sleep analysis.
