  • Publication number: 20240112145
    Abstract: Methods and systems provide for dynamic content personalization within a training platform. The system connects a client device to a training platform, with the client device being associated with an employee of an organization; determines that custom organization content is associated with the organization within the training platform; receives at least a subset of the custom organization content and at least a content type for each piece of custom organization content; and presents, to the client device, a UI for a training module selected for employees of the organization, the UI including one or more custom organization elements alongside a plurality of training elements, with each of the custom organization elements incorporating one or more pieces of the custom organization content.

  • Patent number: 10452116
    Abstract: A decision engine executing on an electronic device may determine, using sensor data captured by multiple sensors of the device, whether a user is present in an environment that includes the device. If the user is determined to be present in the environment, the device may transition from a first state to a second state. The first state may be a first power state of the device in which the device is powered off or an idle or dormant state in which the device is powered on but a display of the device is powered off. Correspondingly, the second state may be a second power state of the device in which the device and the display are powered on and content is being rendered on the display. If the decision engine cannot make a determination based on the sensor data, a context engine may adjudicate the user presence determination.

  • Patent number: 9929763
    Abstract: Systems and methods for addressing an inadvertent decrease in transmission energy/power due to triggering a proximity sensor by a cover disposed on a computing device. In an embodiment, a cover sensor may be incorporated into the device. The cover sensor may be used to detect the presence of a cover on the device, as well as whether the cover is in an open or closed position. The output of the cover sensor may then be used to adjust a trigger/proximity threshold of the proximity sensor to account for the presence and position of the cover on the device. In this manner the device may avoid unnecessary power backoff caused by proximity of the cover, rather than proximity of the user. This improves the over the air (OTA) performance of the device, as well as the user experience.

  • Patent number: 9677986
    Abstract: Described are techniques and systems for determining presence of airborne particles using one or more sensors on a user device. The airborne particles include, but are not limited to, smoke resulting from combustion, dust, fog, and so forth. In one implementation, an optical proximity sensor may be used to determine a distance to an object such as a ceiling. Smoke which collects on the ceiling reflects light that is detected by the proximity sensor and results in an apparent reduction in height. A notification of this change in height may be generated. In other implementations, other techniques may be used to detect airborne particles, such as images from a camera, dedicated particular sensors, and so forth. Information about airborne particles may aid user safety. For example, an alarm may be issued indicating a potential fire or unsafe level of pollution.

  • Patent number: 9622326
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a light intensity level of emitted light from an illuminator of a display device and the ambient light surrounding the display device such that, for example, the display device may compensate for performance variations of the illuminator over time.
