  • Publication number: 20250247664
    Abstract: An audio time latency-based spatial orientation method is disclosed. A VR device is paired and connected with a plurality of speakers. Multiple audio time latencies from the VR device to the speakers are calculated. Current positions of the speakers relative to the VR device are calculated based on the audio time latencies and a virtual boundary is defined. Threshold values of the speakers relative to the virtual boundary are defined. It is determined whether the VR device is close to or beyond the virtual boundary according to the threshold values. If the VR device is close to or beyond the virtual boundary, the VR device issues an alarm.

  • Patent number: 12284503
    Abstract: An audio latency calibration method is disclosed. A master speaker and a slave speaker are located at a separation distance from each other, and a paring process is performed. As the paring process is completed, multiple latency time period parameters are obtained relating to the master and slave speakers. The latency time period parameters comprise: T1+T2 representing the time that the master speaker sends an audio signal to the slave speaker, T3+T4 representing the time that the audio signal is transmitted from the slave speaker to a microphone of the master speaker, T5 representing the time that a trumpet of the master speaker plays the audio signal and T3? representing the time that a microphone of the master speaker receives the audio signal. Thus, the way to synchronously play audio signals can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 11515213
    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device. A substrate having a first region and a second region surrounding the first region is provided. The first region includes a first active area and a first gate. A dummy pattern is disposed on the substrate within the second region around a perimeter of the first region. A resist pattern masks the second region and includes an opening that exposes the first region. An ion implantation process is performed to implant dopants through the opening into the first active area not covered by the first gate within the first region, thereby forming doped regions in the first active area. A resist stripping process is performed to remove the resist pattern by using a sulfuric acid-hydrogen peroxide mixture (SPM) solution at a temperature that is higher than or equal to 120˜190 degrees Celsius. The substrate is subjected to a cleaning process.
