Patent number: 10082584Abstract: Various different techniques are used to determine a location of a device, including 3-dimensional (3D) mapping techniques as well as one or more of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) techniques, wireless signal detection techniques, and inertial sensor techniques. The locations determined by these various techniques are combined to determine the location of the device and/or user of the device. In addition to the location of the device, an orientation or direction of view of the device and/or user of the device can optionally be determined as well.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2012Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peter S. Hoang, Jedd A. Perry, Rod G. Fleck

Patent number: 9484629Abstract: Multi-use antenna techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a device includes a single fixed radiating structure, a first branch coupled to the single fixed radiating structure to tune to a first frequency range to support a first wireless signal technique, and a second branch coupled to the single fixed radiating structure to tune to a second frequency range to support a second wireless signal technique, the second frequency range being different than the first frequency range.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2011Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Peter S. Hoang, Robert J. Hollyer, Jedd A. Perry

Patent number: 8983555Abstract: Wireless communication techniques are described. In one or more implementations, techniques are described that involve active power control such that a device may bypass use of a power amplifier to communicate wirelessly. In one or more additional implementations, wireless communication techniques are described in which multiple bands may be leveraged to provide wireless communication. In one or more further implementations, wireless communication techniques are described in which a frame buffer on a receiving device is leveraged by a sending device. Yet further, in one or more implementations wireless communication techniques are described in which a sending device employs codec adaptation. Still yet further, in one or more implementations, wireless communication techniques are described which may be used to change characteristics of a channel used to communicate data.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2011Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Rod G. Fleck, Jedd A. Perry, Peter S. Hoang
