Patent number: 11958496Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device for recognizing an intention of a driver for a lane change assistant in an at least partially autonomous motor vehicle, a corresponding system, and a method and computer program. It is provided that steering of a driver does not directly cause lateral acceleration, as is currently the case, but rather serves the vehicle as an input medium for the intention of the driver to imminently initiate lateral acceleration, for example a turn-off procedure or a change of travel lane. As a result of the signal from the control element, a safe, drivable trajectory that will subsequently be traveled automatically by the vehicle is calculated. This may also include more complex driving maneuvers, such as a change of multiple travel lanes. As a result, driving is made more convenient and safer.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: VOLKSWAGEN AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Stefan Gläser, Monique Engel

Patent number: 11042923Abstract: Apparatus, article of manufacture and methods for recommending a jewelry item that comprise receiving, at a jewelry interface, user-input data regarding: a selection of at least one jewelry item. The at least one jewelry item comprises a plurality of characteristics. User-input data also includes an indication of a level of importance for at least one characteristic of a jewelry item. Each level of importance corresponds to a co-efficient. An ideal profile is computed based in part on the selection of the at least one jewelry item and the indication of the level of importance, an ideal profile. A matching algorithm is applied to a plurality of jewelry items stored in an inventory. Based on the matching algorithm, at least one recommended jewelry item is identified as most closely matching the ideal profile. An indication of the at least one recommended jewelry item is transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2019Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Inventors: Brian Watkins, Alex Berg, Josh Marion, Matthew Jordan Kirk, Simon Tam

Patent number: 11030793Abstract: A photo filter (e.g., artistic/stylized painting) light field effect system includes an eyewear device having a frame, a temple connected to a lateral side of the frame, and a depth-capturing camera. Execution of programming by a processor configures the stylized image painting effect system to apply a photo filter selection to: (i) a left raw image or a left processed image to create a left photo filter image, and (ii) a right raw image or a right processed image to create a right photo filter image. The stylized image painting effect system generates a photo filter stylized painting effect image with an appearance of a spatial rotation or movement, by blending together the left photo filter image and the right photo filter image based on a left image disparity map and a right image disparity map.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2019Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventor: Sagi Katz

Patent number: 11024247Abstract: An electronic device, including an antenna, includes a pixel array, a control circuit, and a gate driver. The control circuit is coupled with the antenna, and configured to receive a RF signal from the antenna. The gate driver is coupled with the control circuit and the pixel array, and includes multiple shift registers. Each of the multiple shift registers is configured to output a scan signal to the pixel array. The control circuit is configured to output a triggering signal to a first-stage shift register of the multiple shift registers. When the control circuit receives the RF signal, the triggering signal has a triggering pulse. When the first-stage shift register receives the triggering pulse, the first-stage shift register outputs the scan signal having an enabling voltage level.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: AU OPTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Ya-Ting Lin, Chung-Hung Chen

Patent number: 10950159Abstract: An information display method and an information display system are provided. The information display method includes: capturing a background image of an information display area of the transparent display; using critical contrast values and color levels of the background image to calculate a display threshold; using the color levels of the background image and color levels of display information to calculate a recognition evaluation score; and determining whether the recognition evaluation score is greater than or equal to the display threshold. If the recognition evaluation score is greater than or equal to the display threshold, the display information is displayed in the information display area. If the recognition evaluation score is less than the display threshold, an optimized display parameter is calculated by using the display threshold, and optimized display information is displayed in the information display area of the transparent display.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Yi-Shou Tsai, Shin-Hong Kuo, Yu-Hsiang Liu
