Publication number: 20230344716Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed. An example apparatus is a first compute device comprising: interface circuitry to connect to a network; instructions; programmable circuitry to interpret a policy based on a first attribute and a second attribute to identify an action associated with the first compute device, the first attribute to describe the first compute device, the second attribute obtained via the interface circuitry from a second compute device to describe the second compute device; and provide the identification to an application on the first compute device to cause the application to perform the action based on the policy.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Mark Yarvis, Geoffrey Cooper, Bryon Nevis, Bruce Jones, Bryan Rodriguez

Patent number: 11650425Abstract: Computer-generated image data is presented on first and second displays of a binocular headset presuming that a user's left and right eyes are located at first and second positions relative to the first and second displays respectively. At least one updated version of the image data is presented, which is rendered presuming that at least one of the user's left and right eyes is located at a position different from the first and second positions respectively in at least one spatial dimension. In response thereto, a user-generated feedback signal is received expressing either: a quality measure of the updated version of the computer-generated image data relative to computer-generated image data presented previously; or a confirmation command. The steps of presenting the updated version of the computer-generated image data and receiving the user-generated feedback signal are repeated until the confirmation command is received.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Tobil ABInventors: Geoffrey Cooper, Rickard Lundahl, Erik Lindén, Maria Gordon

Publication number: 20210342000Abstract: Techniques for interacting with a first computing device based on gaze information are described. In an example, the first computing device captures a gaze direction of a first user of the first computing device by using an eye tracking device. The first computing device displays a representation of a second user on a display of the first computing device. Further, the first computing device receives from the first user, communication data generated by an input device. The first computing device determines if the gaze direction of the first user is directed to the representation of the second user. If the gaze direction of the first user is directed to the representation of the second user, the first computing device transmits the communication data to a second computing device of the second user.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2021Publication date: November 4, 2021Applicant: Tobii ABInventors: Daniel Ricknäs, Erland George-Svahn, Rebecka Lannsjö, Andrew Ratcliff, Regimantas Vegele, Geoffrey Cooper, Niklas Blomqvist

Patent number: 11057207Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of providing a trusted ownership re-key with attestation in a device. The device includes processor circuitry that incorporates TEE circuitry. The TEE circuitry generates an AAIK and encrypts the AAIK using HMAC. The TEE circuitry forms a first message using the HMAC, a public DAK assigned to the device, and a device signature. The TEE circuitry sends an encrypted first message to the manufacturer. The manufacturer validates the device based on the public DAK and generates a second message that includes the HMAC and a manufacturer signature. The encrypted second message is communicated to the TEE circuitry. Upon receipt the TEE circuitry validates the AAIK data in the second message against the most recent AAIK and generates a third message that includes the HMAC, the original AAIK, the RHK and the manufacturer attestation. The AAIK thus remains unknown to both the current owner and the manufacturer.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2018Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: David Wheeler, Geoffrey Cooper

In an example, the first computing device captures a gaze direction of a first user of the first computing device by using an eye tracking device. The first computing device determines if the gaze direction of the first user is directed to a first display. Further, the first computing device receives information regarding if a gaze direction of a second user is directed to a second display. If the gaze direction of the first user is directed to the first display and the gaze direction of the second user is directed to the second display, the first computing device continuously updates content on the first display. If the gaze direction of the second user is not directed to the second display, the first computing device pauses the content on the first display.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Tobii ABInventors: Daniel Ricknäs, Erland George-Svahn, Rebecka Lannsjö, Andrew Ratcliff, Regimantas Vegele, Geoffrey Cooper, Niklas Blomqvist

Publication number: 20210041945Abstract: An eye tracking system, a head mounted device, a computer program, a carrier and a method in an eye tracking system for determining a refined gaze point of a user are disclosed. In the method a gaze convergence distance of the user is determined. Furthermore, a spatial representation of at least a part of a field of view of the user is obtained and depth data for at least a part of the spatial representation are obtained. Saliency data for the spatial representation are determined based on the determined gaze convergence distance and the obtained depth data, and a refined gaze point of the user is determined based on the determined saliency data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2020Publication date: February 11, 2021Applicant: Tobii ABInventor: Geoffrey Cooper

Patent number: 10652210Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment that includes receiving metadata from a host over a metadata channel. The metadata may be correlated with a network flow and a network policy may be applied to the connection. In other embodiments, a network flow may be received from a host without metadata associated with the flow, and a discovery redirect may be sent to the host. Metadata may then be received and correlated with the flow to identify a network policy action to apply to the flow.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2017Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: McAfee, LLCInventors: Geoffrey Cooper, Michael W.

Patent number: 8800024Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment that includes intercepting a network flow to a destination node having a network address and sending a discovery query based on a discovery action associated with the network address in a firewall cache. A discovery result may be received and metadata associated with the flow may be sent to a firewall before releasing the network flow. In other embodiments, a discovery query may be received from a source node and a discovery result sent to the source node, wherein the discovery result identifies a firewall for managing a route to a destination node. Metadata may be received from the source node over a metadata channel. A network flow from the source node to the destination node may be intercepted, and the metadata may be correlated with the network flow to apply a network policy to the network flow.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2011Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: McAfee, Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey Cooper, Michael W.
