Publication number: 20230386417Abstract: Often when there is a glare on a display screen the user may be able to mitigate the glare by tilting or otherwise moving the screen or changing their viewing position. However, when driving a car there are limited options for overcoming glares on the dashboard, especially when you are driving for a long distance in the same direction. Embodiments are directed to eliminating such glare. Other embodiments are related to mixed reality (MR) and filling in occluded areas.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Arthur J. Runyan, Richmond Hicks, Nausheen Ansari, Narayan Biswal, Ya-Ti Peng, Abhishek R. Appu, Wen-Fu Kao, Sang-Hee Lee, Joydeep Ray, Changliang Wang, Satyanarayana Avadhanam, Scott Janus, Gary Smith, Nilesh V. Shah, Keith W. Rowe, Robert J. Johnston

Patent number: 11054886Abstract: A system of reducing power consumed by a large screen display panel may comprise a display divided into a plurality of segments. A gaze tracker identifies a gaze region where a viewer(s) is looking to increase a refresh rate for segments identified in the gaze region with relation to segments outside of the gaze region. The shading rate of segments outside of the gaze region may also be lowered to save even more power.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2017Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Joydeep Ray, Ya-Ti Peng, Abhishek R. Appu, Wen-Fu Kao, Sang-Hee Lee

Patent number: 11051038Abstract: An embodiment of an electronic processing system may include a 2D frame which corresponds to a projection of a 360 video space, and a component predictor to predict an encode component for a first block of a 2D frame based on encode information from a neighboring block which is neighboring to the first block of the 2D frame only in the 360 video space, a prioritizer to prioritize transmission for a second block of the 2D frame based on an identified region of interest, and/or a format detector to detect a 360 video format of the 2D frame based on image content. A 360 video capture device may include a contextual tagger to tag 360 video content with contextual information which is contemporaneous with the captured 360 video content. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jill M. Boyce, Sumit Mohan, James M. Holland, Sang-Hee Lee, Abhishek R. Appu, Wen-Fu Kao, Joydeep Ray, Ya-Ti Peng, Keith W. Rowe, Fangwen Fu, Satya N. Yedidi
