Patent number: 11381739Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are described for providing real-time capture, processing, and distribution of panoramic virtual reality (VR) content of a live event. One or more triggering events are identified and used to generate graphics and/or audio on client VR devices. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: capturing video of an event at an event venue with a plurality of cameras to produce a corresponding plurality of video streams; generating a virtual reality (VR) stream based on the plurality of video streams; transmitting the VR stream to a plurality of client VR devices, wherein the client VR devices are to render VR environments based on the VR stream; detecting a triggering event during the event; and transmitting an indication of the triggering event to the plurality of client VR devices, wherein a first client VR device is to generate first event-based graphics and/or first event-based audio in accordance with the indication.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Fai Yeung, Ling Yao, Sankar Jayaram, Uma Jayaram, Ritesh Kale, Ok Joon Kim, Shaun Carrigan

Patent number: 9634511Abstract: Disclosed are charging control methods for a rechargeable battery and portable computers. The charging control method includes acquiring a control parameter for a charge current of the rechargeable battery; modifying, based on the control parameter, the charge current from a first charge current to a second charge current less than the first charge current; and charging the rechargeable battery with the second charge current. Compared with conventional methods of charging the battery always with the maximal charge current, the present disclosure can improve the battery's lifetime.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2015Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignees: LENOVO (BEIJING) LIMITED, BEIJING LENOVO SOFTWARE LTD.Inventors: Shuangcheng Zhao, Xiaoren Cheng, Ling Yao, Weizhi Lin

Patent number: 9218259Abstract: A method for testing a serial over local area network (SOL) function of a motherboard of a computing device. The method determines that the SOL function is normal if forward data can be transmitted from the serial port of the motherboard to a network interface controller (NIC) of the motherboard through a predefined path, and backward data can be transmitted from the NIC to the serial port through a predefined reverse path. The method determines that the SOL function is abnormal if the forward data cannot be transmitted from the serial port to the NIC through the predefined path, or the backward data cannot be transmitted from the NIC to the serial port through the predefined reverse path.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2012Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignees: HONG FU JIN PRECISION INDUSTRY (ShenZhen) CO., LTD., HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventor: Ling Yao
