  • Publication number: 20240134499
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for providing an augmented reality user interface, including: receiving, by an image sensor of an electronic device, an image of a physical document; determining a document type associated with the physical document by performing image recognition on the image of the physical document; determining an augmented reality template to display on a display of the electronic device; displaying the augmented reality template on the display of the electronic device, wherein the augmented reality template is aligned in three dimensions with the physical document; determining a distance between the physical document and the electronic device; and enabling one or more interactive user interface elements within the augmented reality template displayed on the display of the electronic device if the determined distance between the physical document and the electronic device is less than a threshold distance.

  • Patent number: 11955218
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented system includes a treatment apparatus configured to be manipulated by a user while performing an exercise session, patient interfaces associated with users, and a server computing device configured to receive treatment data pertaining to the user, determine whether at least one characteristic of the user matches at least one second characteristic of a second user, where the second user belonging to a cohort. Responsive to determining the at least one characteristic of the user matches the at least one second characteristic of the second user, the server computing device is configured to assign the user to the cohort and select, via a trained machine learning model, a treatment plan for the user. Responsive to transmitting a signal to the patient interfaces of users in the cohort, the server computing device enables the patient interfaces to establish the virtual shared session between the patient interfaces.

  • Patent number: 11950861
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system includes an assistant interface for providing remote medical assistance to aid a patient in performing various aspects of a rehabilitation regimen for a body part comprising a joint, a bone, or a muscle group. The assistant interface is configured to communicate, via a network connection, a telemedicine signal with the patient interface. The telemedicine signal is configured to control the patient interface and/or a treatment apparatus configured to be manipulated by the patient to perform the rehabilitation regimen. The patient interface and the treatment apparatus are at a patient location geographically separate from a location of the assistant interface. The telemedicine signal includes one or more of an audio signal, an audiovisual signal, an interface control signal for controlling a function of the patient interface, and/or an apparatus control signal for changing an operating parameter of the treatment apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11942205
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system includes a treatment apparatus manipulated by a patient while performing an exercise session and a patient interface that receives a virtual avatar. The patient interface presents the virtual avatar. The virtual avatar uses a virtual representation of the treatment apparatus to guide the patient through an exercise session. A server computing device provides the virtual avatar of the patient to the patient interface and receives a message pertaining to a trigger event. The message includes a severity level of the trigger event. The server computing device determines whether a severity level of the trigger event exceeds a threshold severity level, and responsive to determining the severity level of the trigger event exceeds the threshold severity level, replaces on the patient interface the presentation of the virtual avatar with a presentation of a multimedia feed from a computing device of the medical professional.

  • Patent number: 11776434
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for avoidance of damage to concealed mechanical elements during construction or repair of a structure. In one embodiment, a tag is provided for installation on a plumbing or similar element prior to such element being concealed by further construction. The tag is adapted to engage a concealed element in such a way that an indicator portion of the tab remains visible after further concealing structure is installed. The visible tab's location identifies the location of concealed elements and is preferably provided with indicia identifying such purpose. In a further embodiment of the invention, adhesive indicator tape is used in conjunction with an indicator tab. The indicator tape is adapted to be applied over concealing structure to generally identify the location and extent of concealed elements that may be susceptible to puncture or damage during subsequent construction or repair phases of a project.

  • Patent number: 11602144
    Abstract: A method for converting a conventional manually monitored capture-and-release rodent trap of a type having a box-shaped container with opposed one-way entry corridors communicating with a capture chamber into a remotely-monitored rodent trap. In one aspect, the method includes attaching a smart-sensor to the lid of the trap and press-fitting a bracket having a rodent opening into the space between the one-way entry corridors such that the rodent opening in the bracket restricts movement of a rodent into the capture chamber to a pathway in sufficient proximity for detection by the smart-sensor and signaling to a remote monitoring location.

  • Publication number: 20220159067
    Abstract: Connecting user equipment (UE) to an application can be managed based on UE movement and location. During data session between UE and application, a communication management component (CMC) associated with anchor network component (ANC) or serving network component (SNC) determines UE location, and connects UE to the ANC and SNC, which enables access of the application via a data network associated with ANC. As UE moves, CMC tracks UE movement and communication conditions. If, when UE is at second location, a communication condition breaches threshold level, CMC determines whether interruption of the data session is permitted. If not, CMC determines whether there is a local SNC in proximity to second location. If there is, CMC can switch UE from SNC to local SNC, which can access local application content via local data network associated with application. If interruption permitted, UE deactivates and reactivates to connect to local ANC.
