This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for conserving power on an electronic device. For instance, at given time intervals, the electronic device may be sending input data to a network device and receiving audio data from the network device. The electronic device may then use one or more techniques to determine when to switch from operating in a first mode, where the electronic device sends and/or receives the data, to operating in a second mode, where the electronic device ceases sending and/or receiving the data. For example, the electronic device may make the determination based on an amount of data stored in a buffer, whether the electronic device receives data, using data received from the network device, and/or the like. Based on the determination, the electronic device may switch to the second mode in order to conserve power.

Techniques for conserving power on a device

Systems and methods relating to a millimeter wave radio-frequency (RF) sleep monitoring device are described. The device includes a surface transparent to RF signals through which a radar device enclosed in a housing transmits RF signals. An antenna array is enclosed within the housing and is oriented at a non-zero angle with respect to a vertical axis of the device. The antenna array receives the reflected RF signals through the surface. The reflected RF signals are used to generate sleep monitoring data such as a respiratory rate or motion data associated with a user.

This disclosure describes, in part, an electronic device for executing network applications. For instance, the electronic device may establish a connection with a network device. The electronic device may then receive input data from a control device. Using the connection, the electronic device may send the input data to a remote system, which uses the input data to update a state of an application. The electronic device then receives, using the connection and from the remote system, audio data and video data representing the state of the application. In some instances, the electronic device may further receive, using the connection and from the remote system, first timestamp data for outputting the audio data and second timestamp data for displaying the video data. The electronic device may then send the audio data to a control device and the video data to a display device.

Electronic device for network applications

This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for controlling network applications. For instance, a remote system may send, over a network, data representing a state of an application to a display device, such as a television. The remote system may then receive, over the network, input data from a control device. The input data may represent one or more inputs received by the control device. Using the input data, the remote system may update the state of the application. The remote system may then send, to the display device, data representing the updated state of the application. In some instances, the remote system may further send, to the control device, audio data representing sound corresponding to the updated state of the application. The control device may synchronize outputting of the sound with the displaying the updated state of the application by the display device.
