Patent number: 12614006Abstract: A people flow estimation system uses input of movement model data to create movement demand data and estimate the flow of people inside a building using architectural model data. The people flow estimation system is characterized by identifying the names or uses of rooms in the building and the density of in-building personnel; recording occurrence distribution of movement demand inside the building with respect to a reference time; converting the architectural model data into layout data; calculating the number of in-building personnel in a room; and calculating movement demand data from the number of in-building personnel and the data from the recorded movement demand distribution.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2020Date of Patent: April 28, 2026Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Rui Ning, Manabu Katou, Masayasu Fujiwara, Wataru Toriumi

Patent number: 12343625Abstract: A refresh rate switching method and an electronic device are provided. In the method, the electronic device dynamically switches a corresponding screen refresh rate by determining whether a current display image is a high frame rate scenario or a standard frame rate scenario. In the high frame rate scenario, a relatively high screen refresh rate is used to support a high display frame rate. In this way, a user can obtain experience of the high display frame rate, and the display image is smooth without motion blur. In the standard frame rate scenario, a default low screen refresh rate is used to reduce power consumption of an entire system.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2021Date of Patent: July 1, 2025Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Jun Xu, Yu Li, Liang Wang, Rui Ning, Qiangguo Jiang
