  • Patent number: 11963105
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, computer readable media, and other various embodiments are described for location management processes in wearable electronic devices. Performance of such devices is improved with reduced time to first fix of location operations in conjunction with low-power operations. In one embodiment, low-power circuitry manages high-speed circuitry and location circuitry to provide location assistance data from the high-speed circuitry to the low-power circuitry automatically on initiation of location fix operations as the high-speed circuitry and location circuitry are booted from low-power states. In some embodiments, the high-speed circuitry is returned to a low-power state prior to completion of a location fix and after capture of content associated with initiation of the location fix. In some embodiments, high-speed circuitry is booted after completion of a location fix to update location data associated with content.

  • Publication number: 20240061491
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for detecting whether a wearable device is being worn by a user. The system transmits a radio signal from a first communication device of a wearable device to a second communication device of the wearable device and measures a signal strength associated with the radio signal received by the second communication device. The system compares the signal strength to a threshold value and generates an indication of a wear status associated with the wearable device based on comparing the signal strength to the threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20240061798
    Abstract: An eyewear device that includes a plurality of SoCs that share processing workload, and a USB port configured to perform low-power debugging and automation of the plurality of SoCs, such as using either a Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (UART) or a Serial Wire Debug (SWD). The eyewear includes a USB hub configured such that the USB port can simultaneously communicate with the plurality of SoCs. The USB hub can be shut down to disable the USB hub, and all the SoCs can enter their low-power modes without being kept awake by a persistent USB connection. The eyewear includes a first switch and a control logic, wherein the control logic controls the first switch and enables the USB port to perform low-power debugging and automation of the SoCs. The eyewear further includes a second switch, wherein the control logic controls the second switch to enable the USB port to perform low-power debugging and automation of the SoCs via a processor, or to enable the USB port to control each of the SoCs.

  • Publication number: 20240063530
    Abstract: Examples include a wearable device having a frame, a temple and onboard electronics components. The frame can optionally configured to hold one or more optical elements. T temple can optionally connected to the frame at a joint such that the temple is disposable between a collapsed condition and a wearable condition in which the wearable device is wearable by a user to hold the one or more optical elements within user view. The onboard electronics components can be carried by at least one of the frame and the temple and can include a first antenna configured for cellular communication carried by the frame and a second antenna configured for cellular communication carried by one of the frame or the temple.

  • Publication number: 20230137052
    Abstract: Eyewear having a high-speed wireless transceiver, including a processor having a high-speed interface for communicating high-speed communications and a low-speed interface for communicating low-speed communications. The high-speed interface is disabled to have no standby current and only the low-speed interface is used when only low-speed communications are needed to save current. When communications are received via the high-speed wireless transceiver, only the low-speed interface is initially used, and the high-power interface is later used if necessary. The high-speed interface can be a high-speed universal serial bus (USB) interface, and the low-speed interface can be a universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) interface. A USB hub is controlled by the processor to selectively enable the USB interface.
