Patent number: 11967147Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may detect a first location and a first orientation of an augmented reality endpoint device of a user at a venue, identify an entryway of a first enclosed space of the venue that is within a first field-of-view of the augmented reality endpoint device in accordance with the first location and the first orientation of the augmented reality endpoint device, and present, via the augmented reality endpoint device, first visual information of the first enclosed space. The first visual information may include first imagery of the first enclosed space and may be presented within the first field-of-view.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Proerty I, L.P.Inventors: Barrett Kreiner, James Pratt, Adrianne Binh Luu, Robert T.

Publication number: 20240118581Abstract: An electrokinetic device is configured as a dynamic lens cover and/or filter for an imaging assembly, e.g., of a mobile device, to selectively allow electromagnetic radiation to pass through a lens of the imaging assembly when the dynamic lens cover is in a first operating state or to prevent electromagnetic radiation from reaching the lens of the imaging assembly when the dynamic lens cover is in a second operating state. The electrokinetic device includes transparent first and second substrates, and a compaction trench surrounding the lens of the imaging assembly. The compaction trench stores pigment when the dynamic lens cover is in the first operating state. In the second operating state pigment is dispersed within a carrier fluid between the first and second substrates.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: James E. Abbott, Timothy Koch, Cassady Roop, Palitha Wickramanayake

Publication number: 20240070241Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards virtual reality collaboration spaces with associated context data. Once created, a virtual reality collaboration space can be pervasively existent, such that the space can be joined or returned to as needed by any admitted participants. The existence of a created collaboration space in association with its collaboration context data can be advertised to specific invitees or general invitees, and can be searchable. In general, upon receiving a reservation request for reservation of a virtual reality collaboration space, a virtual location for the collaboration space is reserved. Access is granted to requesting entities authorized to access the space. Permissions can differ for different invitees, e.g., such that only permitted users can access proprietary information presented as a virtual reality element within the collaboration space. The collaboration space can also be used to drop off virtual reality elements, e.g., from one user to another user.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Nigel Bradley, Eric Zavesky, James Pratt, Ari Craine, Robert Koch

Publication number: 20240070948Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to detection of attention exhibited by a second user to a first user's avatar in a virtual reality environment. A first user's avatar activity and the second user's activity are evaluated to determine the second user's (e.g., via another avatar) attention level directed towards first user's avatar. Information can be sent to notify the first user that the second user's attention level has satisfied attention-level criterion data. For example, if the second user is viewing and/or is within audio range of the first user for too long of a time or too frequently, then the first user can be notified and/or other action taken. Remedial action is available for negative attention, such blocking the second user from experiencing the first user in the environment. Detection of attention for positive purposes is available, such as to reward an influencer whose avatar is receiving significant attention from followers.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Nigel Bradley, Eric Zavesky, James Pratt, Ari Craine, Robert Koch

Publication number: 20240071605Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards presenting a medical practitioner with information that assists the practitioner in communicating with a given patient. Baseline data describing a medical patient is obtained, such as from one or more previous visits. The baseline data can be compared with current data, e.g., sensed by patient biosensors and/or discerned from a current video of the patient during the visit. Historical and/or known healthy data can be used as baseline data. Interaction data representing an interaction (e.g., a conversation during a current visit) between the medical practitioner and the medical patient is determined. Based on the baseline data and the interaction data, during the interaction between the medical practitioner and the medical patient the medical practitioner can be presented with coaching data to assist the medical practitioner in communicating with the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Nigel Bradley, Eric Zavesky, James Pratt, Ari Craine, Robert Koch

Publication number: 20240070216Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards virtual reality bookmarks that maintain state data for a user in a virtual reality environment, such that the user can to return to that virtual reality environment at a later time. While presenting virtual reality session content to a user, a system or the like can receive a request to pause the virtual reality session from a user. Session state data, e.g., in the form of a virtual reality bookmark, is saved based on the pause request. A later request to resume presentation of the virtual reality content results in the system accessing the virtual reality session data, which is used to present resumed virtual reality session content to the user based on the session state data. A pause request may be for an individual user or for each user participating in a session. Virtual reality bookmarks may be shared with other users.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Nigel Bradley, Eric Zavesky, James Pratt, Ari Craine, Robert Koch

Publication number: 20150199541Abstract: A method and system for securely communication of personal information is disclosed. In one embodiment, when a user wishes to instantly populate web form (204) displayed in a web browser (122), a populate button integrated into the rendered output of the website (123) displayed in the web browser (122) triggers a request for unique code to a remote server (104) via a wire less network (108). Accordingly, the server (104) generates a unique code and displays the unique code in the web browser (122). When a first computing device (102) receives the unique code inputted by the user, the first computing device (102) communicates the unique code to the server (104). Accordingly, the server (104) validates the unique code and establishes a connection between the second computing device (106) and the first computing device (102) upon validating the unique code.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2013Publication date: July 16, 2015Applicant: 1FORM ONLINE PTY LTDInventors: Christopher James Koch, Chad Anthony Stephens
