Publication number: 20240094409Abstract: A receiver device includes a first antenna, a second antenna, a first receiver, a second receiver, and processing circuitry. The first receiver is coupled to the first antenna and configured to receive a first signal from a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellite via the first antenna. The second receiver is coupled to the second antenna and configured to receive a second signal indicative of a secondary code boundary corresponding to a secondary code in the first signal from a second receiver device via the second antenna. The processing circuitry is configured to receive a primary code by removing the secondary code from the first signal based on the secondary code boundary, perform coherent integration on the primary code, and output a geographic position of the receiver device based on the coherent integration.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Anjan Ramakrishnan, Aditya N Srivastava, Harsha Shirahatti, Mojtaba Bahrami

Publication number: 20240077583Abstract: An electronic device may utilize various methods or systems to determine whether the electronic device is indoors or outdoors. The electronic device transmits wireless signals (e.g., radio detection and ranging (RADAR) signals). The electronic device receives reflections of the wireless signals. Using these received reflections of the wireless signals, the electronic device determines whether a power amplitude of the reflections is greater than or equal to a threshold value. In response to a determination that the power amplitude is not greater than or equal to the threshold value, the electronic device operates in an outdoor mode or an indoor mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Harsha Shirahatti, Sujeet Milind Patole, Jouya Jadidian, Mikheil Tsiklauri, Shun Liu, Vaneet Pathak, Lei Wang, Kumar Gaurav Chhokra

Publication number: 20230091349Abstract: User equipment (UE) may determine a probability that a cellular network may allocate a resource block to the UE having a frequency that, when a cellular transmitter of the UE transmits a radio frequency (RF) signal using the resource block, a harmonic signal may be generated that interferes with a global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) signal received by a GNSS receiver of the UE. The probability may be determined based on a number of factors that may impact resource block allocation, including a location of the UE, a current date and/or time, a historical allocation of resource blocks (which may be crowdsourced), a client type associated with a signal to be transmitted, a signal environment at the UE, real world conditions, and so on. Based on the probability, the UE may selectively perform a mitigation procedure or transmit an RF signal without performing the mitigation procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Inventors: Harsha Shirahatti, Helena D O'Shea, Mohamed Youssef, Aditya N Srivastava, Glenn D MacGougan

Patent number: 11172380Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for dynamically determining appropriate antenna tuning states for communication across one or more frequency bands. An electronic device may include a radio frequency system that facilitates wireless transmission and reception of data across multiple frequency bands. The electronic device may include a processor coupled to the radio frequency system. The processor may instruct the radio frequency system to obtain measurements for a candidate tuner state and a tuner state. Further, the processor may instruct the radio frequency system to determine whether the candidate tuner state provides better radio frequency system performance than the tuner state. Additionally, the processor may update the tuning table to reflect that results of which tuner state provides better radio frequency system performance.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Rajesh Bezawada, Harsha Shirahatti, Nischay Goel, Anil Kumar Goparaju, Aditya Prakash Kulkarni

Patent number: 10996748Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to gaze-dependent visual encryption of electronic device displays. Each display frame that is displayed on the electronic device display may include a clear-display region around the user's gaze location and an obscured region outside the clear-display region. In this way, only the display content that the user is actively viewing is recognizable and understandable and an onlooker such as an unwanted observer looking over the user's shoulder is unable to understand what is displayed. The obscured region of each display frame may be generated such that the overall look and structure of that region is unchanged, but the content is unintelligible. In this way, the visual experience of the user is not disrupted or distracted by the visual encryption and the eye of the onlooker is not guided to the clear-display region by the visual encryption.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2019Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Mehmet Agaoglu, Cheng Chen, Harsha Shirahatti, Zhibing Ge, Shih-Chyuan Fan Jiang, Nischay Goel, Jiaying Wu, William Sprague
