Patent number: 11922948Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide systems and methods for multi-mode voice triggering for audio devices. An audio device may store multiple voice recognition models, each trained to detect a single corresponding trigger phrase. So that the audio device can detect a specific one of the multiple trigger phrases without consuming the processing and/or power resources to run a voice recognition model that can differentiate between different trigger phrases, the audio device pre-loads a selected one of the voice recognition models for an expected trigger phrase into a processor of the audio device. The audio device may select the one of the voice recognition models for the expected trigger phrase based on a type of a companion device that is communicatively coupled to the audio device.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Dersheet C. Mehta, Dinesh Garg, Sham Anton Koli, Kerry J. Kopp, Hans Bernhard

Patent number: 11307921Abstract: One embodiment provides for a data processing system comprising multiple independent processors to execute multiple operating system environments of the data processing system, the multiple operating system environments to enable operation of multiple regions of a computing device associated with the data processing system. The multiple operating system environments are interconnected via a transport agnostic communication link. In response to detection of a fatal error in one or more of the multiple operating system environments, the multiple operating system environments coordinate performance of multiple separate error handling operations within the multiple operating system environments to generate a combined error log. The combined error log includes operational states of the multiple operating system environments.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christopher J. Noe, Joshua H. Berlin, Joseph J. Castro, Hardik K. Doshi, Joel N. Kerr, Kerry J. Kopp, Michael J. Smith

Patent number: 10785845Abstract: An electronic device may have a display mounted in a housing. The housing may have a stand that supports the housing on a support surface or may have other shapes. The display may have pixels that display an image. The display may also have a two-dimensional array of light-emitting devices such as light-emitting diodes that supply backlight illumination for the pixels. An array of temperature sensors may be overlapped by the pixels. Control circuitry may maintain historical backlight aging information during operation of the display. The aging information may include information on output brightness levels of the light-emitting diodes and light-emitting diode operating temperatures.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2019Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Adrian E. Sun, ByoungSuk Kim, Jason P. Marini, Jun Qi, Kerry J. Kopp, Matthew W. Cooper, Mingxia Gu, Yanming Li, Kevin J. Ryan, Shmuel G. Link
