Publication number: 20240135960Abstract: The disclosure provides technology for enhancing the ability of a computing device to detect when a user has discontinued reading a text source. An example method includes receiving audio data comprising a spoken word associated with a text source, comparing the audio data with data of the text source, determining, based on the comparing, whether a segment of the audio data corresponds to a location of the text source, and responsive to determining that the segment of the audio data does not correspond to a location of the text source, transmitting a signal indicating that a user has discontinued reading the text source, the signal causing to cease the comparing of the audio data with the data of the text source.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Chaitanya GHARPURE, Evan FISHER, Eric LIU, Peng YANG, Emily HOU, Victoria FANG

Patent number: 11944313Abstract: In some examples, an embolization device includes multiple sections with three-dimensional non-helical structures when deployed at a vascular site. The multiple sections include a first section and one or more second sections that are smaller than the first section. The first section may have a deployed structure configured to anchor the device at a vascular site (e.g., a blood vessel) of a patient while each of the one or more second sections may be formed from loops that configured to pack and obstruct the vascular site. In some cases, the embolization device also includes a third section having a deployed configuration with multiple helical windings or loops is configured to anchor the embolization device at the vascular site.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Yihan Wang, Victoria Schuman, Zhimin Fang, Yapeng Xu, Haitao Cao, Zhipeng Chen, Xiaojing Guo, Shichang Wen

Patent number: 11862192Abstract: The disclosure provides technology for enhancing the ability of a computing device to detect when a user has discontinued reading a text source. An example method includes receiving audio data comprising a spoken word associated with a text source, wherein the audio data comprises a first duration and a second duration; comparing the audio data with data of the text source, wherein the first duration of the audio data corresponds with the data of the text source; calculating, by a processing device, a correspondence measure between the second duration of the audio data and the data of the text source; and responsive to determining the correspondence measure satisfies a threshold, transmitting a signal to cease comparing audio data with the data of the text source.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2018Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Chaitanya Gharpure, Evan Fisher, Eric Liu, Peng Yang, Emily Hou, Victoria Fang

Patent number: 11749279Abstract: The disclosure provides technology for enhancing the ability of a computing device to conserve computing resources while providing special effects that are aligned with a text source being read aloud. An example method includes identifying effects data for a text source, wherein the effects data correlates a physical effect with an audible action of a user; receiving audio data comprising a plurality of audible actions, wherein at least one of the plurality of audible actions comprises a spoken word of the text source; determining, by a processing device, that a triggering condition pertaining to the effects data and the text source is satisfied; loading content for the physical effect prior to an occurrence of the audible action, and providing the physical effect to modify an environment of the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2022Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Chaitanya Gharpure, Evan Fisher, Eric Liu, Peng Yang, Emily Hou, Victoria Fang

Patent number: 11501769Abstract: The disclosure provides technology for enabling a computing device to provide context sensitive special effects that supplement a text source as it is read aloud. An example method includes receiving, by a processing device, audio data comprising a spoken word of a user, analyzing contextual data associated with the user, determining a match between the audio data and data of a text source; and initiating a physical effect in response to the determining the match, wherein the physical effect corresponds to the text source and is based on the contextual data.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2018Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Chaitanya Gharpure, Evan Fisher, Eric Liu, Peng Yang, Emily Hou, Victoria Fang
