Publication number: 20240160968Abstract: The present disclosure relates to activity monitoring systems and methods for gating whether or not steps should be counted in an observation window based on whether a decision tree concludes there are consecutive step activities (versus no activity or other activities) in the observation window. Particularly, certain aspects are directed to a method that includes obtaining acceleration data for an observation window of an accelerometer, inputting two or more characteristics of the acceleration data into a decision tree to determine activity occurring within the observation window, assigning a first class to the observation window when the determined activity is associated with consecutive steps, assigning a second class to the observation window when the determined activity is not associated with consecutive steps, and when the first class is assigned to the observation window, determining a step count for the observation window using frequency analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Fuad Al-Amin, Ali Shoeb

Patent number: 10117005Abstract: A system and method for device action and configuration based on user context detection from sensors in peripheral devices are disclosed. A mobile device includes an interface to receive sensor data from a sensor of a wearable peripheral device worn by a user. The mobile device further includes at least one processor to: identify an activity engaged in by the user based on the sensor data, detect a completion of the activity based on the sensor data, and configure the mobile device to generate a notification to the user in response to the detection of the completion of the activity.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2017Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Indira Negi, Lakshman Krishnamurthy, Fuad Al-Amin, Xiaochao Yang, Brian K. Vogel, Jun Li, Alexander Essaian, Sai Hemachandra Vemprala, Donnie H. Kim, Lama Nachman, Haibin Liu

Patent number: 10082915Abstract: A touchpad system is disclosed herein that includes a touchpad sensor formed from a plurality of flexible materials and is at least partially integrated into host clothing or furniture such that the touchpad sensor is generally obscured from view. The touchpad sensor may be implemented as a resistive or capacitive touchpad, whereby user input is detected and converted into a proportional electrical signal. The touchpad sensor may include N layers of flexible materials configured to conduct electrical energy, and also conform to contours of a host object. At least one layer of the flexible materials may be heat sealed or otherwise adhered to an inner surface of the host object, such as beneath a shirt sleeve. Thus smart clothing/furniture may appear to be “normal” while also providing convenient user-access to a touchpad sensor that can robustly handle a wide variety of user-input to control operation of a remote computing device.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2015Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Narayan Sundararajan, Steven T. Holmes, Lakshman Krishnamurthy, Prabhakar R. Datta, Fuad Al-Amin, Saurin Shah
