  • Patent number: 11962650
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for distributed ambient computing within an environment. A first version of an ambient computing library running on a device may check a manifest in the storage of the device to identify a second device that provides a service. The first version of the ambient computing library may send data to be processed using the service to the second device through a second version of the ambient computing library running on the second device. The first device and the second device may include different computing hardware. The first version of the ambient computing library may receive data including results from the second device through the second version of the ambient computing library. The data including the results may be generated by the second device based on processing the data sent from the device by the first version of the ambient computing library.

  • Patent number: 11754676
    Abstract: Various devices, systems and methods for performing targeted sleep tracking are presented herein. Multiple digital radar data streams from multiple antennas may be received. A direction optimization process may be performed to determine a first weighting and a second weighting. The first weighting may be applied to a first digital radar data stream. The second weighting may be applied to a second digital radar data stream. The weighted first digital radar data stream and the weighted second digital radar data stream may be combined to create a first directionally-targeted radar data stream. A sleep analysis can be performed based on the first directionally-targeted radar data stream. Sleep data may be output for a user based on the performed sleep analysis.
