Publication number: 20220075633Abstract: In one implementation, a method of accessing shared data among processes is performed by a device including processor(s), non-transitory memory, and an image acquisition interface. The method includes obtaining image data acquired by the image acquisition interface. The method further includes determining pose data based at least in part on inertial measurement unit (IMU) information measured by the image acquisition interface. The method also includes determining a gaze estimation based at least in part on eye tracking information obtained through the image acquisition interface. Based at least in part on characteristics of processes, the method includes determining an arrangement for the image data, the pose data, and the gaze estimation. The method additionally includes determining an access schedule for the processes based at least in part on at least one of: the arrangement, the characteristics of the processes, and hardware timing parameters associated with the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Ranjit Desai, Michael J.

Patent number: 10943557Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus to transition a display device between operating modes using a single dedicated pin of a circuit connected to the display device. The dedicated pin can receive a packet signal corresponding to an operating mode for the display device, and the circuit can thereafter cause the display device to transition into the desired operating mode in response to receiving the packet signal. The operating mode can be a low power on mode where an interface connected to the circuit is deactivated and at least some circuitry of the display device is throttled or powered off. The display device can be driven in an all black state while in the low power on mode, thereby allowing the display device to more quickly transition out of the low power on mode compared to when the display device is completely off.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Yafei Bi, Lei He, Mohammad B. Vahid Far, Mir B. Ghaderi, Venu Madhav Duggineni, Vanessa C. Heppolette, Joshua P. De Cesare, Hyuck-Jae Lee

Patent number: 8907935Abstract: A system and method for characterizing the power and luminance values for a display. This may include testing a device to determine a luminance value for a display of a given device at a given current and determining whether the first current is to be adjusted during future uses based on a comparison of the luminance with at least one threshold value. This may also include storing an adjusted current value if it is determined that the first current is to be adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Taif Ahmed Syed, Daniel A.
