  • Patent number: 12261907
    Abstract: System and methods for tracking events in a sports game using one or more event input devices. Each event input device tracks a subset of the game events and the devices work together to provide a simplified input experience by sharing input and context from other event input devices. Since the user is only responsible for capturing a subset of the events, and because each device simplifies the input requirements of the other event input devices, the end user is still able to enjoy watching the game while also opening up the input task to users who would not have typically done so. The combined results of the devices provides a complete picture of the game in the form of a game play-by-play for the fans and statistics for the coaches. Integration with the scoreboard, communication system and player devices provide further event input simplification, rich content for viewers and simplification for traditional scorekeepers and sound controllers.

  • Publication number: 20250020798
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a dual-purpose millimeter-wave frequency band transmitter are disclosed. A system includes a dual-purpose transmitter sending a video stream over a wireless link to a receiver. In some embodiments, the video stream is generated as part of an augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) application. The transmitter operates in a first mode to scan and map an environment of the transmitter and receiver. The transmitter generates radio frequency (RF) signals in a first frequency range while operating in the first mode. Additionally, the transmitter operates in a second mode to send video data to the receiver, and the transmitter generates RF signals in the first frequency range while operating in the second mode.

  • Publication number: 20240345911
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for providing machine learning aided diagnostics and prognostics for large distributed systems. A diagnostics module applies two-tiered analysis to detect anomalous behavior of the large scale distributed system. First, multivariate telemetry and event data emitted from the large scale distributed systems is collected by a diagnostics component, which applies multivariate analysis to identify of set of N-anomalies. Second, univariate telemetry and event data is obtained by the diagnostics component, which applies univariate analysis to the N-anomalies previously identified, ranks the results, and provides them to an AI to generate a diagnostics incident report. A prognostics module reviews the diagnostics incident report and maps each identified issue to a resolution plan. If execution of the resolution plan does not succeed in resolving the identified issue, the issue is escalated to a support team.
