Patents by Inventor Wang Chiu Chan

Wang Chiu Chan 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: 12219074
    Abstract: Various features and processes related to document collaboration are disclosed. In some implementations, animations are presented when updating a local document display to reflect changes made to the document at a remote device. In some implementations, a user can selectively highlight changes made by collaborators in a document. In some implementations, a user can select an identifier associated with another user to display a portion of a document that includes the other user's cursor location. In some implementations, text in document chat sessions can be automatically converted into hyperlinks which, when selected, cause a document editor to perform an operation.

  • Patent number: 12189867
    Abstract: Systems and methods for motion tracking on a hardware device without a camera and/or without a sufficiently powerful hardware processor, by offloading pose processing fully or partially to a mobile device, are disclosed. Methods executable on the hardware device include receiving pose data associated with a user from the mobile device, and performing a touchless control of an application on the hardware device, based on the received pose data. Methods executable on the mobile device include capturing at least one image associated with a user, performing a pose recognition algorithm on the mobile device, based on the captured image, to generate pose data for performing a touchless control of an application on the hardware device, and transmitting the pose data to the hardware device, using the network connection. The methods and systems include embodiments where the pose recognition algorithm uses machine learning.

  • Publication number: 20230327887
    Abstract: Various features and processes related to document collaboration are disclosed. In some implementations, animations are presented when updating a local document display to reflect changes made to the document at a remote device. In some implementations, a user can selectively highlight changes made by collaborators in a document. In some implementations, a user can select an identifier associated with another user to display a portion of a document that includes the other user's cursor location. In some implementations, text in document chat sessions can be automatically converted into hyperlinks which, when selected, cause a document editor to perform an operation.
