  • Publication number: 20260134474
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for data retrieval and validation for asset onboarding and deriving asset characteristics. A first set of data associated with an asset is collected. Identifiers associated with the first set of data are created. A second set of data associated with the asset is collected based on the identifiers. The first set of data set and the second set of data are compared based on the identifiers. The first set of data is validated based on the comparison. An artificial intelligence module is trained as part of a continuous training cycle in view of validation findings. Concurrently with artificial intelligence module training, one or more characteristics of the asset are derived from the first set of data using one or more AI agents.

  • Publication number: 20260059218
    Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided for monitoring state of charge (SOC) of wireless headphones. In one embodiment, a method comprises initializing a state of charge (SOC) of the earbud battery based on battery voltage in response to transitioning from a non-charging mode to a charging mode of the wireless earbud. In another embodiment, a first system comprises a left earbud, a right earbud, and a charging case comprising a microcontroller unit that monitors a right earbud battery and a left earbud battery via the charging case. In another embodiment, a second system comprises a left earbud, a right earbud, and a charging case comprising at least one communication bus communicatively coupled to the left earbud and right earbud to compare and correct a total charge of the left earbud battery, the right earbud battery, and/or the charging case battery.

  • Publication number: 20260039991
    Abstract: A wireless earphone may include a first group of contact electrodes, an earphone module, a power module, and a control module. The contact electrodes contact a second group of contact electrodes of a charger to establish an electrical connection between the wireless earphone and the charger. The earphone module outputs a sound signal. The power module provides operating power to the earphone module. The power module is charged from the charger via the first group of contact electrodes. The control module is configured to: in response to establishment of the electrical connection between the wireless earphone and the charger, perform control to prohibit charging the power module using charging power from the charger within a first time period; and after expiration of the first time period, perform control to allow charging the power module using the charging power from the charger.
