Patent number: 11914759Abstract: Examples of augmented reality (AR) environment control advantageously employ multi-factor intention determination and include: performing a multi-factor intention determination for summoning a control object (e.g., a menu, a keyboard, or an input panel) using a set of indications in an AR environment, the set of indications comprising a plurality of indications (e.g., two or more of a palm-facing gesture, an eye gaze, a head gaze, and a finger position simultaneously); and based on at least the set of indications indicating a summoning request by a user, displaying the control object in a position proximate to the user in the AR environment (e.g., docked to a hand of the user). Some examples continue displaying the control object while at least one indication remains, and continue displaying the control object during a timer period if one of the indications is lost.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC.Inventors: Andrew Jackson Klein, Cory Ryan Bramall, Kyle Mouritsen, Ethan Harris Arnowitz, Jeremy Bruce Kersey, Victor Jia, Justin Thomas Savino, Stephen Michael Lucas, Darren A.

Patent number: 7689873Abstract: Errors occurring in computing clusters and other computing systems can impact system performance. Each error has an error type and each error type has a base cost estimating importance of correcting the error. Each error type also has a confidence indicating the level of agreement between those who fix the errors and those who assigned the base cost. An error type's actual cost is produced using the base cost and confidence. An error cascade map contains estimates that one error will cause another. An error type that causes other error types has a cascade cost. Upon detecting an error type, a repair order can be generated, depending on the cost involved. Repairs are then performed. Feedback mechanisms and correlations can be used to update the confidences and the error cascade map.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2005Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Google Inc.Inventor: Victor Bennett
