Patent number: 11429174Abstract: This document describes techniques (400, 500, 600) and apparatuses (100, 700) for implementing sensor-based near-field communication (NFC) authentication. These techniques (400, 500, 600) and apparatuses (100, 700) enable a computing device (102) to detect, in a low-power state, environmental variances indicating proximity with an NFC-enabled device (104) with which to authenticate. In some embodiments, various components of a computing device (102) in a sleep state are activated to process environmental variance(s), perform authentication operations, and/or an indicate initiation of authentication operations to a user.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Jagadish Kumar Agrawal, Deepak Chandra, John J.

Patent number: 10475454Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques for directional display and audio broadcast are described. It is determined whether a spoken query includes an individual query, a group query, and a display request. For an individual query, an audio response is broadcast in a directional manner towards the source of the spoken query. For a group query, an audio response is broadcast in more than one direction, such as towards directions of sources in an environment. For a display request, an image (e.g., picture, video, web page, and the like) is projected on a surface that is detected so the image is viewable by one or more users, such as the source of the spoken query.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Jagatkumar V.

Patent number: 10366258Abstract: In aspects of determining blocked wireless communication between devices, a mobile device wirelessly communicates with a wireless device. The mobile device can receive partial data or no data from the wireless device responsive to the wireless communication. The mobile device activates sensors to obtain sensor data based on receiving the partial or no data from the wireless device. The mobile device can then determine whether an object is positioned or located between the mobile device and the wireless device based on the sensor data, and determine that the object is likely blocking the wireless communication based on the object being positioned or located between the devices. The mobile device can then display a notification that the wireless communication is being blocked based on the determination that the object is likely blocking the wireless communication.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2019Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Scott Patrick DeBates, Douglas Alfred Lautner, Jagatkumar V.
