Patent number: 11902707Abstract: This disclosure is directed to facilitating voice and video communication between users independent of a location or a device. A communication request can specify users, who may be identified and located in their respective environments. For example, users can be identified and located using facial recognition imaging techniques and/or by monitoring a radio frequency (RF) signal associated with a device that is carried or worn by a user. After determining a location of a user, individual devices can be configured as a functionally grouped device to allow the users to communicate. For example, capabilities of a television, microphone, speaker, and imaging device can be combined to allow a video communication between users. Further, as a user moves around his or her environment, the location of the user can be tracked and additional functionally grouped devices can be provided for seamless communication.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Adam Barry Fineberg, Miroslav Ristic, Robert Franklin Ebert, Eric Peter Raeber, Tarun Yohann Morton

Patent number: 11412133Abstract: A device capable of autonomous motion may process image data determined by one or more cameras to determine one or more properties of objects represented in the image data. The device may determine that two or more computer vision components correspond to a particular property. A first computer vision component may process the image data to determine first output data, and the second computer vision component may process the first output data to determine second output data corresponding to the property.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tarun Yohann Morton, Cheng-Hao Kuo, Jim Oommen Thomas, Ning Zhou
