Patent number: 11868545Abstract: A first electronic device controls a second electronic device to measure a position of the first electronic device. The first electronic device includes a motion sensor, a network interface circuit, a processor, and a memory. The motion sensor senses motion of the first electronic device. The network interface circuit communicates with the second electronic device. The memory stores program code that is executed by the processor to perform operations that include, responsive to determining that the first electronic device has a level of motion that satisfies a defined rule, transmitting a request for the second electronic device to measure a position of the first electronic device. The position of the first electronic device is sensed and then stored in the memory. An acknowledgement is received from the second electronic device indicating that it has stored sensor data that can be used to measure the position of the first electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: José Araújo, Zeid Al-Husseiny

Patent number: 11733777Abstract: A method of capturing haptic content of an object, where the capturing involves a plurality of communication devices includes recognizing haptic content captured by a first communication device and properties associated with the captured haptic content and recognizing properties associated with a second communication device, and determining, at least partly based on the acquired properties, whether or not the second communication device is to participate in the capturing of the haptic content. Haptic content captured by the second communication device is then recognized by the haptic device, and a combination of the haptic content captured by the first communication device with the haptic content captured by the second communication device, can then be initiated. A haptic device and a system, capable of executing the method suggested above are also described.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: José Araújo, Zeid Al-Husseiny
