Publication number: 20240054156Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a multimodal input from a first client system associated with a first user via an assistant xbot, wherein the multimodal input comprises first images captured by cameras of the first client system and voice inputs by the first user, wherein the voice inputs comprise personalized labels corresponding to the first images, storing the first images and the personalized labels as a first digital memory of the first user, receiving a user request by the first user referencing one or more of the personalized labels from the first client system via the assistant xbot, generating a response for the first user based on the first digital memory and the referenced personalized labels, and sending instructions for presenting the response to the first user to the first client system via the assistant xbot.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2021Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Joshuah Vincent, Ruchir Srivastava, Leon Zhan, Jiayang Tong, Zhiguang Wang, Guangqiang Dong, Zhenpeng Zhou, Xin Ming Fan

Publication number: 20230412724Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to controlling a sending side of an augmented call based on a receiving user's gaze. Some implementations provide a hologram moderation system in which a receiving user's gaze can control how the system generates a representation of a sending user on a sending side. For example, some implementations can moderate the capture or generation of hologram data representing the sending user when the receiving user isn't focused on the hologram that results from the data. Such moderations can reduce power consumption, bandwidth, heat production, and/or processing power needed by the artificial reality system when the receiving user is not looking at the hologram of the sending user, such as when the sending user is in the receiving user's periphery or outside the receiving user's field-of-view.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2022Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Jing MA, Paul Armistead HOOVER, Joshuah VINCENT

Patent number: 11823325Abstract: Techniques are described for using computing devices to perform automated operations related to, with respect to a computer model of a house or other building's interior, generating and displaying simulated lighting information in the model based on sunlight or other external light that is estimated to enter the building and be visible in particular rooms of the interior under specified conditions, such as using ambient occlusion and light transport matrix calculations. The computer model may be a 3D (three-dimensional) or 2.5D representation that is generated after the house is built and that shows physical components of the actual house's interior (e.g., walls), and may be displayed to a user of a client computing device in a displayed GUI (graphical user interface) via which the user specifies conditions for which the simulated lighting display is generated.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: MFTB Holdco, Inc.Inventors: Joshuah Vincent, Pierre Moulon, Ivaylo Boyadzhiev, Joshua David Maruska

Publication number: 20230325967Abstract: In some implementations, the disclosed systems and methods can provide a set of triggers that cause the degradation system to degrade output graphics. In further implementations, the disclosed systems and methods can display a virtual object in an artificial reality environment to a user, where the displayed virtual object corresponds to the captured video. In yet further implementations, the disclosed systems and methods can evaluate one or more contexts corresponding to activity of a user while using the artificial reality device to view images.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Chris ROJAS, Joshuah VINCENT, Paul Armistead HOOVER

Patent number: 11238652Abstract: Techniques are described for using computing devices to perform automated operations related to providing visual information of multiple types in an integrated manner about a building or other defined area. The techniques may include generating and presenting a GUI (graphical user interface) on a client device that includes a computer model of the building's interior with one or more first types of information (e.g., in a first pane of the GUI), and simultaneously presenting other types of related information about the building interior (e.g., in additional separate GUI pane(s)) that is coordinated with the first type(s) of information being currently displayed. The computer model may be a 3D (three-dimensional) or 2.5D representation generated after the house is built and showing the actual house's interior (e.g., walls, furniture, etc.), and may be displayed to a user of a client computing device in a displayed GUI with various user-selectable controls.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Zillow, Inc.Inventors: Romualdo Impas, Ivaylo Boyadzhiev, Joshuah Vincent, Yuguang Li, Pierre Moulon

Patent number: 10193970Abstract: Arrangements are provided which use a host computer to configure a wireless portable device's network connection parameters. The radio on the portable device may be used to help locate nearby accessible wireless networks. Once a synchronization relationship between the portable device and a media library on a host computer is established, periodically updated content, such as podcasts, may be discovered and subscribed to using software on the host computer, and the content synchronized with the host computer. A portable device may manage episodic content, such as podcasts, using the device's own wireless connection, and may further send such content to other portable devices. A central user profile may be set up on a web server to synchronize multiple wireless or wired devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2015Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Andrew L. Silverman, Dennis Kiilerich, Joshuah Vincent
