Publication number: 20230332914Abstract: Methods and apparatus for spatial audio navigation that may, for example, be implemented by mobile multipurpose devices. A spatial audio navigation system provides navigational information in audio form to direct users to target locations. The system uses directionality of audio played through a binaural audio device to provide navigational cues to the user. A current location, target location, and map information may be input to pathfinding algorithms to determine a real world path between the user’s current location and the target location. The system may then use directional audio played through a headset to guide the user on the path from the current location to the target location. The system may implement one or more of several different spatial audio navigation methods to direct a user when following a path using spatial audio-based cues.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Bruno M. Sommer, Avi Bar-Zeev, Frank Angermann, Stephen E. Pinto, Lilli Ing-Marie Jonsson, Rahul Nair

Publication number: 20230311912Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate switching between autonomous and manual driving modes. In order to do so, the vehicle’s computer may conduct a series of environmental, system, and driver checks to identify certain conditions. The computer may correct some of these conditions and also provide a driver with a checklist of tasks for completion. Once the tasks have been completed and the conditions are changed, the computer may allow the driver to switch from the manual to the autonomous driving mode. The computer may also make a determination, under certain conditions, that it would be detrimental to the driver’s safety or comfort to make a switch from the autonomous driving mode to the manual driving mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Brian Douglas Cullinane, Philip Nemec, Manuel Christian Clement, Robertus Christianus Elisabeth Mariet, Lilli Ing-Marie Jonsson

Patent number: 11360558Abstract: A system may include finger devices. A touch sensor may be mounted in a finger device housing to gather input from an external object as the object moves along an exterior surface of the housing. The touch sensor may include capacitive sensor electrodes. Sensors such as force sensors, ultrasonic sensors, inertial measurement units, optical sensors, and other components may be used in gathering finger input from a user. Finger input from a user may be used to manipulate virtual objects in a mixed reality or virtual reality environment while a haptic output device in a finger device provides associated haptic output. A user may interact with real-world objects while computer-generated content is overlaid over some or all of the objects. Object rotations and other movements may be converted into input for a mixed reality or virtual reality system using force measurements or other sensors measurements made with the finger devices.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2019Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Paul X. Wang, Nicolai Georg, Benjamin R. Blachnitzky, Alhad A. Palkar, Minhazul Islam, Alex J. Lehmann, Madeleine S. Cordier, Joon-Sup Han, Hongcheng Sun, Sang E. Lee, Kevin Z.
