Patent number: 11935538Abstract: In one aspect, a headset assembly may include a headset housing, at least one processor, and a microphone boom coupled to the headset housing. The microphone boom may include an infrared (IR) sensor on a distal end segment, where the IR sensor may be accessible to the at least one processor. The microphone boom may further include at least one microphone accessible to the at least one processor. Additionally, the headset assembly may include storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive input from the IR sensor and, based on the input from the IR sensor, perform mouth feature extraction. The instructions may also be executable to execute at least one function based on the mouth feature extraction.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Scott Wentao Li, Robert J. Kapinos, Russell Speight VanBlon, Robert Norton

Patent number: 11916978Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and computer program products that can automatically answer communication sessions received from trusted callers are disclosed herein. One method includes maintaining, by a processor of an information handling device, a list of trusted callers encoded in a memory and automatically answering a communication session received by the information handling device from a trusted caller in the encoded list of trusted callers without receiving input from a user of the information handling device accepting the communication session on the information handling device. Systems, apparatus, and computer program products that include hardware and/or software that can perform the methods for automatically answering communication sessions received from trusted callers are also disclosed herein.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Robert J. Kapinos, Scott Li, Robert James Norton, Jr., Russell Speight VanBlon

Patent number: 9623809Abstract: A storage compartment assembly has a main body including an inboard panel and an outboard panel defining a storage compartment therebetween. With the storage compartment assembly installed to a side wall, at least a first portion of the main body extends under an overhanging portion of the side wall and a second portion of the main body extends inboard relative to the overhanging portion over an area of a cargo area floor. An upper end of the first portion of the storage compartment assembly includes at least one upwardly extending projection that extends upwardly adjacent to the overhanging portion within a space between the upper end of the side wall and a utility attachment track such that the utility attachment track restricts movement of the upper end in an inboard direction with the storage compartment assembly installed to the side wall.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2015Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: Nissan North America, Inc.Inventors: Shawn Sterling, Robert Speights
