  • Publication number: 20220202312
    Abstract: Respiratory biofeedback-based content selection and playback includes using data obtained using one or more sensors of a mobile device running a software application to produce a respiratory data stream of a user of the software application and select content to output to the user. The respiratory data stream represents various respiratory information of the user and is processed to determine a user state of the user. Certain content is selected based on the user state and based on a defined respiratory objective of a guided session being run using the software application. Initial content previously output to the user during the guided session may then be adjusted by outputting the selected content to the user. A change in the user state resulting from the outputting of the selected content may then be used to determine a progress of the user toward achieving the defined respiratory objective of the guided session.

  • Patent number: 11368359
    Abstract: A system and method for remotely monitoring and analyzing devices on a wireless network, such as a ZIGBEE® network, is disclosed. The devices store event logs in a memory device whenever certain events occurs. These event logs are transmitted to a gateway device. The gateway device may operate in standalone mode or in network coprocessor (NCP) mode. The gateway device may then decode the event logs into a human readable output. This human readable output may then be uploaded to a server in the cloud, where further analysis of the human readable output may be performed. This information may then be retrieved by remote devices, such as smart phones. In other modes, the event logs are uploaded to the server in the cloud and the decoding is performed in the cloud.

  • Publication number: 20190188908
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and a system to convert two-dimensional (“2D”) content into three-dimensional (“3D”) content. The method includes receiving the 2D content and analyzing the 2D content to obtain a first set of data related to the 2D content. Further, the method includes determining a 2D-to-3D content conversion logic based on a result of the content analysis. Further, the method includes generating the 3D content by applying the determined logic to the received 2D content. Further, the method includes providing the generated 3D content. The 2D content includes at least one of an image, a Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawing, and a web image content. The first set of data includes vector parameters of one or more objects present in the content, text related to the one or more objects present in the content, dimensional data of the one or more objects present in the content.
