  • Patent number: 11924230
    Abstract: Data is collected from a set of devices according to a data collection policy. The data is associated with at least one of: device configuration, device state, or device behavior. A norm is established using the collected data. A different data collection policy is established based on the norm. Data is collected from a particular device according to the different data collection policy. The norm is compared to the data collected from the particular device. If there is a deviation beyond a threshold deviation between the norm and the data collected from the particular device, a responsive action is taken.

  • Publication number: 20240067164
    Abstract: An erratic driver detection system for a host vehicle. The system includes a sensor configured to measure a distance between the host vehicle and a detected neighboring vehicle, and output sensor data. The system also includes an electronic processor connected to the sensor and configured to build an expected driving behavior model and a target driving behavior model corresponding to the detected neighboring vehicle based on the sensor data. The target driving behavior model includes past, present, and predicted trajectories of the detected neighboring vehicle. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a difference between the target driving behavior model and the expected driving behavior model, identify an instance of erratic driving with respect to the detected neighboring vehicle based on the difference. In response to identifying the instance of erratic driving, the electronic processor controls the vehicle to perform a safety action.

  • Publication number: 20240046511
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for positioning mixed-reality devices within mixed-reality environments. The devices, which are configured to perform inside out tracking, transition between position tracking states in mixed-reality environments and utilize positional information from other inside out tracking devices that share the mixed-reality environments to identify/update positioning of the devices when they become disoriented within the environments and without requiring an extensive or full scan and comparison/matching of feature points that are detectable by the devices with mapped feature points of the maps associated with the mixed-reality environments. Such techniques can conserve processing and power consumption that would be required when performing a full or extensive scan and comparison of matching feature points. Such techniques can also enhance the accuracy and speed of positioning mixed-reality devices.

  • Patent number: 11887263
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing device may determine a virtual content to be displayed with a scene of a real-world environment. The device may generate an image depicting the virtual content. Using one or more sensors, the device may detect characteristics of the scene of the real-world environment. Based on the image and the characteristics of the scene, the device may determine that a visual enhancement is to be applied to the virtual content depicted in the image to enhance a contrast between the depicted virtual content and the scene. The device may generate a visually-enhanced image depicting the virtual content by applying the visual enhancement to the virtual content depicted in the image. The device may display the visually-enhanced image of the virtual content on a display of the computing device, wherein the scene of the real-world environment is visible through the display.

  • Publication number: 20240028117
    Abstract: Eye and hand tracking systems in head-mounted display (HMD) devices are arranged with lensless camera systems using optical masks as encoding elements that apply convolutions to optical images of body parts (e.g., eyes or hands) of HMD device users. The convolved body images are scrambled or coded representations that are captured by a sensor in the system, but are not human-recognizable. A machine learning system such as a neural network is configured to extract body features directly from the coded representation without performance of deconvolutions conventionally utilized to reconstruct the original body images in human-recognizable form. The extracted body features are utilized by the respective eye or hand tracking systems to output relevant tracking data for the user's eyes or hands which may be utilized by the HMD device to support various applications and user experiences. The lensless camera and machine learning system are jointly optimizable on an end-to-end basis.

  • Patent number: 11874826
    Abstract: In embodiments, a computer system produces a first resource for a first dataset having a time indicator, by applying a first digital rule. A first notification can be caused to be transmitted about an aspect of the first resource to a remote device. A second dataset can be stored, which has values derived from the first dataset, and encodes a parameter of the first resource. A second digital rule may be stored to replace the first digital rule, at an updating time (Tupd). The second digital rule may have an effective time (Teff) prior to the actual updating time Tupd. A second resource may be produced by applying the second digital rule. A second notification can be caused to be transmitted about an aspect of the second resource to a remote device.

  • Patent number: 11868231
    Abstract: A technique is described for evaluating code at a local computing device before deploying the code to a cloud computing platform to be compiled. In an example embodiment, class files including the code in a programming language associated with the cloud computing environment are loaded by a local computer system, for example, associated with a software developer. The local computer system then parses the code to identify elements in the code and checks the identified elements. Errors in the code are identified based on the checking and are displayed to a user (e.g., the developer), for example, via a graphical user interface of a code editor application.
