Patents by Inventor Federico Pezzotti

Federico Pezzotti has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11875660
    Abstract: A multiple proximity sensors based electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a plurality of proximity sensors, which are configured to iteratively capture at least one proximity parameter at predefined time intervals. A processor within the electronic device determines a value of the at least one proximity parameter and compares the value with a predefined threshold value. The processor then identifies at least one proximity sensor from the plurality of proximity sensors based on the comparing and determines relative coordinates of each of the at least one proximity sensor with respect to the display. The processor then performs a predefined action within the electronic device based on the relative coordinates determined for each of the at least one proximity sensor.

  • Patent number: 11263888
    Abstract: A multiple proximity sensors based electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a plurality of proximity sensors, which are configured to iteratively capture at least one proximity parameter at predefined time intervals. A processor within the electronic device analyzes the at least one proximity parameter and determines, for each of the plurality of proximity sensors, a rate of change of the associated at least one proximity parameter in response to the analyzing. The processor further computes a stability factor for the electronic device based on the determined rate of change of the associated at least one proximity parameter for each of the plurality of proximity sensors. The processor further compares the stability factor with a stability threshold and determines a fall probability of the electronic device based on the comparison.
