  • Patent number: 10757790
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and a storage medium associated with a sensor hub are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a sensor hub may include a body with a plurality of apertures disposed on the sensor hub body at substantially equal distances to each other, oriented towards a plurality of directions, and a plurality of sensors disposed inside the sensor hub body to interface respective apertures, to sense ambient conditions in the plurality of directions via the apertures. The sensor hub may further include one or more communication interfaces to transmit the sensor data or results from processing the sensor data to an external recipient. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 9819875
    Abstract: Techniques for image synchronization are described herein. The techniques may include a device having logic, at least partially including hardware logic, to implement modules. The modules may include a first sync pulse module to issue a first sync pulse after a first sync pulse offset period to a first imaging sensor. The modules may also include a second sync pulse module to issue a second sync pulse parallel to the first sync pulse after a second sync pulse offset period to a second imaging sensor.

  • Patent number: 9813783
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for synchronizing data captured by multiple image and non-image data capture devices using timing information. In one embodiment, the device comprises a plurality of interfaces operable to receive streaming data from each of a plurality of image and non-image capture devices and timestamping logic implemented, at least in part, in hardware and coupled to the plurality of interfaces to generate and assign timestamp information to each set of data captured by individual capture devices of the plurality of image and non-image capture devices to indicate when the data was captured, where the timestamp information is synchronized to a single timestamp reference clock. The device also comprises processing logic coupled to the timestamping logic to group image data from image capture devices with data from non-image capture devices using the timestamp information.

  • Patent number: 9654672
    Abstract: Synchronized capture of image and non-image sensor data is disclosed. In one embodiment, a device for synchronized capture comprises a synchronization signal generator to generate a synchronization (sync) signal for each of a plurality of heterogeneous capture devices and timestamping logic coupled to the synchronization signal generator to assign timestamp information to each set of data captured by individual capture devices of the plurality of capture devices to indicate when the data was captured, wherein the timestamp information is assigned based on when the sync signal is generated for its corresponding capture device and based on a first delay between when the sync signal is generated for a corresponding capture device and when processing of captured data, by a processing device, has been completed.

  • Publication number: 20160203749
    Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for receiving one or more signals from an ambient light sensor of a device and determining one or more wavelengths of an ambient light environment in which the device is located based on at least one of the one or more signals. Additionally, a display setting of the device may be adjusted based at least in part on the one or more wavelengths. In one example, the display setting includes one or more of a backlight brightness value, one or more pixel brightness values or one or more pixel color values.
