  • Recognizing address and point of interest speech received at a vehicle
    Patent number: 10006777
    Abstract: A system and method of recognizing speech received at a vehicle includes: receiving speech from a vehicle occupant via a microphone; determining whether the speech relates to a point of interest (POI) or an address without receiving a POI command prompt or an address command prompt in the speech from the vehicle occupant; selecting a POI function or an address function based on the determination; and processing the received speech to identify a POI or an address.

  • Transferring data files using a series of visual codes
    Patent number: 10007826
    Abstract: Software on an image-capturing device iteratively captures a visual code in a series of visual codes displayed in a repeating progression on a screen of a mobile device. The visual code was generated from a display block that resulted from a partition of an original data file into a series of display blocks of at least a specified size. The software converts the visual code back into a display block and reads a header for the display block, discarding the display block if it has already been captured, as determined by the ordered identifying block number in a header. The software stops the iterative capturing when all of the display blocks in the series have been captured, as determined by the count in the header and coalesces the captured display blocks into the original data file, using an order determined by the ordered identifying block numbers.

  • Deferred server recovery in computing systems
    Patent number: 10007586
    Abstract: Various techniques for deferred server recovery are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a notification of a fault from a host in the computing system. The host is performing one or more computing tasks for one or more users. The method can then include determining whether recovery of the fault in the received notification is deferrable on the host. In response to determining that the fault in the received notification is deferrable, the method includes setting a time delay to perform a pending recovery operation on the host at a later time and disallowing additional assignment of computing tasks to the host.

  • Cold temperature power throttling at a mobile computing device
    Patent number: 10009852
    Abstract: The subject matter of the disclosure relates to low temperature power throttling at a mobile device to reduce the likelihood of an unexpected power down event in cold weather environments. A mobile device employing a power management solution may be configured to determine that a monitored temperature at the mobile device (at the battery of the mobile device) is below a first threshold level, and whether a hardware component (such as a camera) is active or inactive. Then, based on these determinations, the mobile device can select a throttle setting from a first set of throttle settings when the hardware component is active, and a second set of throttle settings when the hardware component is inactive. Subsequently the mobile device can throttle power consumption for one or more components of the mobile device according to the selected throttle setting.

  • Single input unlock for computing devices
    Patent number: 10007777
    Abstract: A device is described that, while operating in a lock-sensitive display. Responsive to detecting, and while receiving the first portion, the device displays a plurality of input nodes including a first node at the initial location and a second node at a subsequent location. Responsive to detecting the first portion of the continuous-gesture input at the subsequent location, the device receives a second portion of the gesture beginning at the subsequent location and ending at a final location where a third node is displayed. Based on the second portion of the gesture, the device determines an ordered-selection of input nodes beginning with the second node and ending with the third node. Responsive to determining that the ordered-selection satisfies an unlock sequence, the device transitions to operating an unlocked-state where the device displays a graphical user interface.
