Publication number: 20260024291Abstract: Augmented reality features are selected for presentation to a display of an electronic eyewear device by using a camera of the electronic eyewear device to capture a scan image and processing the scan image to extract contextual signals. Simultaneously, voice data from the user is captured by a microphone of the electronic eyewear device and voice-to-text conversion of the captured voice data is performed to identify keywords in the voice data. The extracted contextual signals and the identified keywords are then used to select at least one augmented reality feature that matches the extracted contextual signals and the identified keywords, and the selected augmented reality feature is presented to the display for user selection. The contextual information thus refines the search results to provide the augmented reality feature best suited for the context of the scan image captured by the electronic eyewear device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2025Publication date: January 22, 2026Inventors: David Meisenholder, Kameron Sheffield, Joseph Timothy Fortier, Raymond Zeng, Andrei Rybin, Jonathan Geddes

Patent number: 12498936Abstract: A method of activating a head-worn device is disclosed. The method includes activating the head-worn device and performing a partial bootup. When an user-input instruction to perform a function is received, it is determined whether or not the user-input instruction is permitted for partial bootup execution. The user-input instruction is executed based on the user-input instruction being permitted for partial bootup execution, and a bootup of the head-work device is completed based on the user-input instruction not being permitted for partial bootup execution. The method may further comprise determining if the user-input instruction requires user authentication in order to be executed, and based on the user-input instruction being partial bootup compatible and not requiring user authentication, executing the user-input instruction.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2023Date of Patent: December 16, 2025Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Adithya Gajulapally, Jonathan Geddes, Hwan Moon Lee, Mathieu Emmanuel Vignau, Aaron Wangugi

Patent number: 12136433Abstract: An eyewear device that performs diarization by segmenting spoken language into different speakers and remembering each speaker over the course of a session. The speech of each speaker is translated to text and the text of each speaker is displayed on an eyewear display. The text of each user has a different attribute such that the eyewear user can distinguish the text of different speakers. Examples of the text attribute can be a text color, font, and font size. The text is displayed on the eyewear display such that it does not substantially obstruct the user's vision.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: November 5, 2024Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Geddes, Jennica Pounds, Ryan Pruden, Jonathan M.

Publication number: 20180033180Abstract: A transition may be made between first, second, and third visual representations. A first visual representation may be displayed, with a plurality of visual elements arranged in a first arrangement. A processor may generate a first animation in which the visual elements move from the first arrangement toward an intermediate arrangement, and then to a second arrangement corresponding to a second visual representation. The first animation and the second visual representation may be displayed. The processor may generate a second animation in which the visual elements move from the second arrangement toward the intermediate arrangement, and then to a third arrangement corresponding to a third visual representation. The second animation and the third visual representation may be displayed. Thus, smooth transitions may be provided between multiple visual representations via animation toward a common intermediate arrangement.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2017Publication date: February 1, 2018Inventor: Jonathan Geddes
