Patents by Inventor Shimona Avelina Carvalho

Shimona Avelina Carvalho has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8781791
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer programs are presented for managing power consumption by a display. One method includes an operation for identifying one or more possible inputs for an activity monitoring device based on a state of the activity monitoring device. The one or more possible inputs are defined to be entered via a touchscreen of the activity monitoring device. Further, the method identifies a first region and a second region in the touchscreen, the first region being associated with the one or more possible inputs, and the second region being defined outside the first region. Further, the method includes operations for establishing in the first region a first touchscreen setting for scanning the first region for touch, and for establishing in the second region a second touchscreen setting for scanning the second region, where the first touchscreen setting defines higher processing than the second touchscreen setting.

  • Patent number: 8768648
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer programs are presented for managing power consumption in an activity monitoring device associated with a user. One method includes an operation for analyzing sensor data acquired by sensors of an activity monitoring device to be worn on a wrist of a user, the sensor data being associated with motion of the user. In addition, the method includes an operation for determining the motion profile of the activity monitoring device based on the sensor data. The method further includes an operation for identifying display settings for a display of the activity monitoring device based on the motion profile. The display settings are associated with a rate of power consumption by the display. The display settings are applied to the display of the activity monitoring device when the identified display settings are different than the current display settings.

  • Patent number: 8751194
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer programs are presented for managing power consumption of a display. One method includes an operation for setting a first display setting for a touchscreen of an activity monitoring device associated with a user. The first display setting has having a first rate of power consumption by the display and a first touchscreen scan rate for detecting touch on the touchscreen. Further, the method includes operations for receiving data at the activity monitoring device, the data being indicative of an external event, and for applying a second display setting for the touchscreen based on a predefined expected user interaction. The second display setting has a second rate of power consumption and a second touchscreen scan rate.
