  • Motion detection triggered wake-up for collaboration endpoints
    Patent number: 11395091
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a collaboration endpoint transmits an ultrasonic signal into an area based on a frequency sweep. The collaboration endpoint receives a reflected signal that comprises the ultrasonic signal reflected off an object located in the area. The collaboration endpoint detects, based on the reflected signal, the object as being a potential user. The collaboration endpoint determines, based on the reflected signal, a distance from the collaboration endpoint to the potential user. The collaboration endpoint initiates, based on the distance from the collaboration endpoint to the potential user, a wake-up sequence of the collaboration endpoint to exit a standby mode.
    Type: Grant
