  • Conserving battery while detecting for human voice
    Patent number: 11783834
    Abstract: Described are apparatus, systems, and methods that are operable to periodically detected and record a voice of a user associated with or wearing a wearable device. As described, the wearable device apparatus is configured to transition various components of the device between a low power state and an active state to determine if audio data that includes voice is detected. If voice is not detected, the components are transitioned back to the low power state, thereby conserving power of the wearable device. If voice is detected, the audio data that includes that voice is collected for further processing.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for controlling auxiliary power supply
    Patent number: 10978905
    Abstract: There are provided systems, apparatuses, and methods for controlling power delivery from an auxiliary power supply. For example, there is provided a method that includes generating a first random number to define a timeout period. During the timeout period, the method may detect whether a voltage is present at an output of an auxiliary power supply, may disable the auxiliary power supply when the voltage is detected at the output, and may enable the auxiliary power supply when the voltage is not detected at the output.
