  • Patent number: 11763798
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided to recognize features and activities from an audio signal. In one embodiment, a model is generated from sound effect data, which is augmented and projected into an audio domain to form a training dataset efficiently. Sound effect data is data that has been artificially created or from enhanced sounds or sound processes to provide a more accurate baseline of sound data than traditional training data. The sound effect data is augmented to create multiple variants to broaden the sound effect data. The augmented sound effects are projected into various audio domains, such as indoor, outdoor, urban, based on mixing background sounds consistent with these audio domains. The model is installed on any computing device, such as a laptop, smartphone, or other device. Features and activities from an audio signal are then recognized by the computing device based on the model without the need for in-situ training.

  • Publication number: 20200357182
    Abstract: A system and method using light sources as spatial anchors is provided. Augmented reality (AR) requires precise and instant overlay of digital information onto everyday objects. Embodiments disclosed herein provide a new method for displaying spatially-anchored data, also referred to as LightAnchors. LightAnchors takes advantage of pervasive point lights—such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) and light bulbs—for both in-view anchoring and data transmission. These lights are blinked at high speed to encode data. An example embodiment includes an application that runs on a mobile operating system without any hardware or software modifications, which has been demonstrated to perform well under various use cases.

  • Patent number: 10540083
    Abstract: A system for classifying a user touch event by a user interacting with a device as an intended key is provided. For different hand postures (e.g., holding device with right hand and entering text with right thumb), the system provides a touch pattern model indicating how the user interacts using that hand posture. The system receives an indication of a user touch event and identifies the hand posture of the user. The system then determines the intended key based on the user touch event and a touch pattern model for the identified hand posture. A system is also provided for determining the amount a presser a user is applying to the device based on dampening of vibrations as measured by an inertial sensor. A system is provided that uses motion of the device as measured by an inertial sensor to improve the accuracy of text entry.

  • Patent number: 10285624
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for estimating bilirubin levels. In one aspect, a method for estimating the level of bilirubin in a patient includes receiving image data for at least one image including a region of the patient's skin and a color calibration target. Color-balanced image data for the skin region is generated based on a subset of the image data corresponding to the color calibration target and the skin region. The bilirubin level in the patient is estimated based on the color-balanced image data for the skin region.

  • Patent number: 10028675
    Abstract: Devices, system, and methods generate expiratory flow-based pulmonary function data by processing a digital audio file of sound of a subject's forced expiratory maneuver. A mobile device configured to generate expiratory flow-based pulmonary function data includes a microphone, a processor, and a data storage device. The microphone is operable to convert sound of the subject's forced expiratory maneuver into a digital data file. The processor is operatively coupled with the microphone. The data storage device is operatively coupled with the processor and stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to process the digital data file to generate expiratory flow-based pulmonary function data for assessing pulmonary function of the subject. The sound of the subject's forced expiratory maneuver can be converted into the digital data file without contact between the subject's mouth and the mobile device.
