Patents by Inventor MIR HAMZA MAHMOOD

MIR HAMZA MAHMOOD has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20230205365
    Abstract: In some examples, a touch screen can perform a first touch scan to obtain first touch data and a second touch scan to obtain second touch data. The touch data resulting from the second touch scan may exclude respective noise (e.g., display-to-touch crosstalk (DTX) noise) or may include a reduced amount of the respective noise. In some examples, the electronic device can subtract the second touch data from the first touch data to obtain an estimate of the noise in the first touch data. In some examples, this noise estimate can be subtracted from the first touch data and an action can be performed based on the first touch data with the noise estimate removed.

  • Patent number: 10281556
    Abstract: Detecting and mitigating the effects of interference in a positioning system. A received signal is divided into a plurality of receive signal time/frequency (RSTF) values. A plurality of threshold values are determined based on expected energy values for the received signal. In one implementation, if a predetermined number of the RSTF values are above the threshold, the received signal is determined to be corrupt.

  • Patent number: 10254379
    Abstract: Estimating a position of a mobile device. Particular systems and methods for estimating a position of a mobile device using information from two positioning technologies determine different position estimates for the mobile device using different positioning technologies, and determine a final position estimate for the mobile device using a weighted combination of the different position estimates. In some implementations, the weighted combination is a weighted average or a weighted median of the different position estimates. Weights may be determined using respective uncertainty metrics corresponding to the respective position estimates.

  • Patent number: 9874624
    Abstract: Interference detection and mitigation using maximal ratio combining in the correlation domain. Systems and methods for interference detection and mitigation using maximal ratio combining in the correlation domain may receive a plurality of copies of a positioning signal, compute a plurality of correlation functions using the received positioning signals; weight the plurality of correlation functions using a plurality of weights that are proportional to the quality of the plurality of correlation functions, and generate a combined correlation function by combining the weighted correlation functions.
