  • Publication number: 20190087863
    Abstract: A device, such as a cellular phone, includes an audio and visual display configured to identify content entered by a user of the device and to automatically initiate a select message file related to the content entered as a result of a user-initiated implementation of a predetermined feature of the device that is not related to the message file and to allow the user-initiated implementation of the predetermined feature to proceed only after the user closes the select message.

  • Patent number: 10063989
    Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for updating a sound field in response to user movement. The methods and systems are less computationally expensive than existing approaches for updating a sound field, and are also suitable for use with arbitrary loudspeaker configurations. The methods and systems provide a dynamic binaural sound field rendering realized with the use of “virtual loudspeakers.” Rather than loudspeaker signals being fed into the physical loudspeakers, the signals are instead filtered with left and right HRIRs (Head Related Impulse Response) corresponding to the spatial locations of these loudspeakers. The sums of the left and right ear signals are then fed into the audio output device of the user.

  • Patent number: 9912562
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to determining latency in an interactive application. In one scenario, a computer system generates an indication that an input has been triggered. This indication identifies the input. The computer system sends the indication to an interactive application that receives and accesses the indication. The computer system further receives an output from the interactive application that includes an indication of the input, and determines an amount of latency between the sending of the generated indication and the receiving of the interactive application output.
