Publication number: 20250244828Abstract: A display device may receive eye tracking data. A display device may detect an eye gaze intent state based on the eye tracking data. A display device may receive an input device signal of an input device. A display device may determine to switch from a first input modality to a second input modality based on at least one of the eye gaze intent state or the input device signal. A display device may move a position indicator on a display of the display device using at least one of the first input modality or the second input modality.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2025Publication date: July 31, 2025Inventors: Khushman Jayantilal Patel, Mar Gonzalez Franco, Eric Jordan Gonzalez, Stiven Guillaume Francois Morvan, Jacob Pawek, Ishan Chatterjee, Isaac Allen Fehr, Vrushank Shripad Phadnis, Jochen Weber, Diego Rivas Vetencourt, Lucy Abramyan, Li-Te Cheng, Andrea Colaco, Lee Payne

Patent number: 11873045Abstract: A cart assembly adapted for manual, bicycle and/or motorized vehicle towing. Multiple frame sections are coupled to pivot between completely collapsed, partially open and completely open positions to facilitate, travel, storage and sleeping. A pair of axle plates support primary wheels to the framework and a drive axle between adjacent cross-brace arms. A handle frame section, saddle arms, truss arms, resilient spreader arms, auxiliary caster wheel, battery powered electric drive motor(s), fabric cover and/or hard cover mount to the framework. A resilient, reciprocating shock absorbing tow bar or tongue arm assembly provides flexibly resilient pieces to absorb travel shock between the cart and tow vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2020Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Inventor: Lee Payne

Publication number: 20230396704Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for generating and sending messages are described. messages are autonomously generated by at least one processor by identifying environmental context of a device, system, or user, such that minimal input is required from the user. Environmental context can include at least time, date, calendar entries, user activity, location, physical environment, message history, and relationship between users. Messages can also be generated by generating a first portion of a message, and having the user select a second portion to complete the message. Recipients for a message can be autonomously determined based on environmental context and content of a message to be sent.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Gabriel Reyes, Lee Payne, Samarth Singhal, Sushant Kulkarni, Angela Krone, Samuel Legge

Patent number: 11808941Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods relate to generation of augmented images using virtual content that is part of an augmented reality presentation and images of a scene captured via an image sensor. A wearable heads-up display (WHUD) may present an augmented reality presentation with virtual content projected into a field of view of a scene, while an image sensor captures images of the scene. The image sensor may be part of the WHUD or part of a separate device, for instance part of a smartphone. A wearer may view a scene via the WHUD and capture an image of all or a portion of the scene, for instance via a camera of either the WHUD or a separate device. An application monitors the virtual content and can generate an augmented image, which can be transmitted/printed, replicating the augmented reality experience and/or adding customized messages to the resulting augmented image.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2019Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Stephen Lake, Samuel Legge, Lee Payne, Lahiru Maramba Kodippilige, Eric A. Patterson

Publication number: 20220269896Abstract: Wearable heads-up displays (WHUDs) and methods of operating the WHUDs are provided. An example method of operating a WHUD includes capturing image data representing an image of a live view (LV) by a camera of the WHUD. The method also includes determining an indication of interest associated with the image data. In addition, the method includes selecting at least a portion of the image data based on the indication of interest, and sending the portion of the image data external to the WHUD for processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2021Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventors: Sushant Kulkarni, Samarth Singhal, Lee Payne, Olivia Perryman, Gabriel Reyes
