Publication number: 20240107240Abstract: An ear-worn electronic device comprises a housing configured to be supported by, at, in or on an ear of a wearer. Electronic circuitry is disposed in the housing and comprises a processor. A power source and a receiver or a speaker are respectively disposed in or on the housing. A microphone array is disposed in or on the housing and operatively coupled to the electronic circuitry. The microphone array comprises a plurality of microphones. The processor is configured to operate a set of two or more of the microphones in a directional mode, detect degradation in performance of any microphone of the microphone set, and switch microphone operation from the directional mode to a safe mode using at least one non-degraded microphone of the microphone set in response to detecting the microphone performance degradation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Zac Jensen, Ryan Chester, Brian Dahl, Thomas Scheller, Joel Erdman

Publication number: 20210144786Abstract: Techniques for location source control for paired devices are described. Location source control selects a location source for a mobile device. The mobile device can receive, from an application program, a request for determining a location of the mobile device. The mobile device can determine a first location estimate using a location subsystem of the mobile device. The mobile device can determine whether to provide the first location estimate as input to the application program, or to provide a second location estimate as input to the application program. The second location estimate can be an estimated location of the companion device and determined by the companion device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2021Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: Bradley Joel Jensen, Glenn Donald MacGougan, Kumar Gaurav Chhokra, Robert Mayor, Ronald K.

Patent number: 10375515Abstract: Systems, methods, and program products for determining a location of a mobile device using a location application programming interface (API) are described. A mobile device can receive an input requesting the mobile device to monitor entry into and exit from a significant location. The mobile device can call a start-monitoring instance function of an object of a location manager class as declared in the API to start monitoring, and call a stop-monitoring instance function of the object as declared in the API to stop monitoring. The mobile device can store the entry and exit, or provide a record of the entry or exit to a function that is conformant to the API for performing various tasks.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2018Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Bradley Joel Jensen, Ronald K.

Patent number: 9990135Abstract: Described are a system and technique for collecting stack trace information of devices and analyzing this information to provide metrics with respect to memory usage. The memory analysis includes attributing the memory usage to particular development components by traversing a stack trace. For example, the development components may correspond to a classification used for a particular development effort such as a group of classes, a sub-project, or a development team. As a result, the system may produce various metrics that produce memory usage information attributable to a more meaningful conceptual unit rather than, for example, function names. Accordingly, these attributions may be analyzed for forensic purposes to get a more meaningful picture of sources and causes of memory usage.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2016Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Bradley Joel Jensen, Carter Peterson, Stephen J.

Patent number: 9838838Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for a mobile device determining its location based on a location of a companion device are described. A mobile device can receive a request for determining a location of the mobile device from an application. The request can include an accuracy specification providing a lower limit on accuracy of the determined location. The mobile device can determine that the mobile device is incapable of achieving that accuracy. The mobile device can then submit a location request to a companion device that has paired with the mobile device. The companion device, upon receiving the location request, can determine a location of the companion device and provide the location of the companion device to the mobile device. The mobile device can then designate the location of the companion device as the location of the mobile device, and provide the location to the application.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2015Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Stephen J.

Patent number: 7370896Abstract: A robotic hand comprises a base having fingers and a palm. The fingers define a working volume. The hand is able to grasp objects between the fingers and the palm by varying a distance from the palm to the working volume. Varying this distance can be achieved by either moving the palm towards the working volume or by moving the working volume towards the palm. Robotic hands that move the palm comprise an actuator that extends the palm from the base towards the working volume. Robotic hands that move the working volume relative to the palm have the fingers mounted to a common finger support unit that is configured to translate relative to the base.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2004Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: Strider Labs, Inc.Inventors: Perry Anderson, J.
