Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing. The head-mounted housing may have displays that overlap a user's eyes and/or speakers that provide sound to the user's ears. The head-mounted housing may have transparent lenses that overlap the eyes of the user or may have opaque structures that prevent ambient light from reaching the user's eyes. The head-mounted device may have a geographic location sensor such as a satellite navigation system sensor and may include an orientation sensor such as an inertial measurement unit. The direction of a user's gaze relative to the head mounted device may be measured using an electrooculographic sensor. Electrodes in the electrooculographic sensor may measure signals resulting from the standing potential between the retina and cornea in the eye. Facial expressions and eye blinks may affect the signals detected with the electrodes and can be monitored during operation.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to providing gesture-based control of electronic devices. Providing gesture-based control may include determining, with a machine learning system that includes multiple machine learning models, a prediction of one or more gestures and their corresponding probabilities of being performed. A likelihood of the user's intent to actually perform that gesture may then be generated, based on the prediction and a gesture detection factor. The likelihood may be dynamically updated over time, and a visual, auditory, and/or haptic indicator of the likelihood may be provided as user feedback. The visual, auditory, and/or haptic indicator may be helpful to guide the user to the correct gesture if the gesture is intended, or to stop performing an action similar to the gesture if the gesture is not intended.

Abstract: A handheld electronic device may include a microphone for receiving voice commands, a speaker for providing audio feedback, a display for providing visual output and receiving touch input, and a motion sensor for receiving gesture input. The handheld electronic device may include control circuitry that processes voice commands differently depending on the application running on the handheld electronic device and the icon being displayed on the display. The control circuitry may determine the location of the handheld electronic device and may provide content based on the location. For example, a remote control interface for controlling an external device may be displayed when the handheld electronic device approaches the external device. A head-mounted device may display virtual images based on the location of the handheld electronic device. The virtual images may include a live video feed from a video call, virtual images associated with voice commands, or other virtual images.

Abstract: An electronic device may include wireless communications circuitry that receives location information from tags that are coupled to different items. The electronic device may keep track of the different items using the tags. The electronic device may include control circuitry that analyzes historical tracking data from the tags to identify patterns and relationships between the tags. Based on the historical tracking data, the control circuitry may classify some tagged items as bags for other tagged items and may automatically alert the user when a tagged item is missing from its bag. The control circuitry may generate rules based on the historical tracking data, such as rules regarding acceptable ranges between tagged items and acceptable ranges between tagged items and the electronic device. The control circuitry may determine when to provide real-time location information and other notifications for a tagged item based on the historical tracking data.

Abstract: A system for sound localization can include a first electronic device having a microphone to detect a sound, and a second electronic device. A processor can be in communication with the first electronic device and the second electronic device. The processor can receive a first signal from the first electronic device corresponding to the detected sound, determine a location of origin of the detected sound based at least in part on the first signal, and provide a second signal to the second electronic device based at least in part on the location of origin.

Abstract: An electronic device may include control circuitry that allows a user to listen to audio playing from an external speaker in the environment from the user's personal speaker device such as a pair of headphones, earbuds, or a personal loudspeaker. In response to receiving user input, the control circuitry may gather audio input from the environment with a microphone. The control circuitry may process the detected audio input to identify what audio track is currently playing from the external speaker and to determine which part of the audio track is currently playing. The control circuitry may then start playing the identified audio track from the user's personal speaker device in sync with the audio track playing from the external speaker. The electronic device may search music streaming platforms, public radio station information, and other public music content sources to anticipate and buffer upcoming songs.

Abstract: Methods for performing power management of a multi-interface transponder (MIT) device, e.g., such as positional tag device. The MIT device may transition between various power states, e.g., based on detected events, such as detecting movement of the MIT device, receiving a wakeup signal, receiving an indication of a transition in transportation mode, and/or detecting that the MIT device may be lost, such as based on a lack of contact with another device for more than a threshold period of time.

Abstract: A system can provide mechanisms for managing devices that lack certain user interfaces by operation of a separate device that includes a user interface. Such user interfaces, such as a display and/or a user input element can be operated on one device (e.g., a user interface device) to manage the operational parameters of a different device (e.g., a managed device). The user interface device can provide input and/or output features when the managed device is brought into a vicinity of the user interface device. The selected operational parameters can then be applied when the managed device is operated independently of the user interface device and/or with another device.

Abstract: An electronic device may have back-to-back displays. A user-facing display may have microlenses, tunable lens structures, holograms, lasers, and other structures for displaying images in multiple eye boxes while the electronic device is being worn on the head of a user. In some configurations, a switchable diffuser may be incorporated into the user-facing display. In one mode, the switchable diffuser allows microlenses of the pixels of the user-facing display to provide images to eye boxes in which images from the display are viewable. In another mode, the switchable diffuser diffuses light from the pixels so that the user-facing display may be used while the device is being held in the hand of the user.
