  • Multimodal input system
    Patent number: 10599393
    Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to user input into a computer system, and a technology by which one or more users interact with a computer system via a combination of input modalities. When the input data of two or more input modalities are related, they are combined to interpret an intended meaning of the input. For example, speech when combined with one input gesture has one intended meaning, e.g., convert the speech to verbatim text for consumption by a program, while the exact speech when combined with a different input gesture has a different meaning, e.g., convert the speech to a command that controls the operation of that same program.

  • SIGNAL GENERATOR AND SIGNAL GENERATING METHOD
    Publication number: 20190334598
    Abstract: The present invention relates to generation of radio frequency signals by digital components. In particular, data for specifying a baseband signal are generated at a centralized processing device, and the data relating to the baseband signal are transmitted to radio frequency transmitters via a digital network. The radio-frequency transmitters digitally generate radio-frequency signals based on the data obtained via the digital network, and the generated radio frequency signals are provided to a connector or an antenna.
