Patent number: 11602033Abstract: The present disclosure describes a network device that is capable of coordinating the control of light emitters. For example, the network device may receive data indicating conditions for activating the light emitters. The network device may then receive sensor data generated by various sensors, such as motion sensors, light sensors, or a timer. Using the sensor data, the network device may determine that the conditions are satisfied and, in response, cause the light emitters to activate. To activate first light emitters, the network device may transmit a signal to an electronic device that causes the first light emitters to activate. The first light emitters may be powered by the electronic device. Additionally, to activate second light emitters, the network device may transmit signals to the second light emitters that include commands to activate.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2019Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: James Siminoff, Michael V. Recker, Ryan David Hruska, David Brett Levine

Patent number: 11423762Abstract: This application is directed to techniques and processes for notifying a user about power levels of electronic devices. For example, a first electronic device may receive data representing the power level of a second electronic device. The first electronic device may then determine that the power level is below a threshold power level. After the determination, the first electronic device may detect a user and/or a client device located within a threshold distance to the first electronic device and/or the second electronic device. The first electronic device may then send data to the second electronic device, wherein the data includes a command to emit light according to a pattern indicating that the power level is below the threshold power level. Additionally, the first electronic device may send a message to the client device, where the message indicates that the power level is below the threshold power level.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ryan David Hruska, Elliott Lemberger, John Modestine, Sang Min Park, Michael V.

Patent number: 11039520Abstract: The present disclosure describes an electronic device that is capable of coordinating the control of various types of lights. For example, the electronic device may receive data indicating conditions for activating the light emitters. The electronic device may then obtain sensor data generated by various sensors, such as motion sensors, light sensors, or a timer. Using the sensor data, the electronic device may determine that the conditions are satisfied and, in response, cause the light emitters to activate. To activate a first type of light emitters, the electronic device may cause power to be provided to the first type of emitters via connectors. Additionally, to activate additional types of light emitters, the electronic device may transmit signals to the additional types of light emitters that include commands to activate. The additional types of light emitters may be powered by the electronic device or external power sources.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2019Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: James Siminoff, Ryan David Hruska, David Brett Levine, Michael Recker

Patent number: 10791607Abstract: This application is directed to techniques and processes for configuring light emitters, and techniques and processes for controlling the light emitters. For example, network device(s) may transmit, to a client device, first image data generated by an electronic device. The client device may then receive input indicating portion of a field of view (FOV) of the electronic device that represent light emitters. The network device(s) may then generate associations between the portions of the FOV and the light emitters. Later, the network device(s) may transmit, to the client device, second image data generated by the electronic device. The client device may then receive input selecting portions of the FOV that are associated with the light emitters. Based on the input, the network device(s) may control the light emitters, such as by causing the light emitters to activate or deactivate.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Modestine, Ryan David Hruska, Elliott Lemberger, Sang Min Park, Michael V.

Patent number: 10769909Abstract: This application describes techniques for detecting a single event based on consecutive actions. For instance, a network device may associate a first electronic device that includes a first field of view (FOV) with a second electronic device that includes a second FOV. When the network device receives data indicating that the first electronic device detected possible motion, the network device may transmit a first message to a client device. Additionally, when the network device receives data indicating that the second electronic device detected motion within a threshold period of time to the first electronic device detecting the motion, the network device may not transmit a second message. Determining not to transmit the second message may be based on characteristics of the electronic devices, such as locations of the electronic devices, fields of view of the electronic devices, or a distance between the electronic device devices.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2019Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Modestine, Elliott Lemberger, Ryan David Hruska, Micah Stone, Sang Min Park
