Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for providing pose estimation in extended reality systems. An example method can include tracking, in a lower-power processing mode using a set of lower-power circuit elements on an integrated circuit, a position and orientation of a computing device during a lower-power processing period, the set of lower-power circuit elements including a static random-access memory (SRAM); suspending, based on a triggering event, the tracking in the lower-power processing mode; initiating a higher-power processing mode for tracking the position and orientation of the computing device during a higher-power processing period; and tracking, in the higher-power processing mode using a set of higher-power circuit elements on the integrated circuit and a dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), the position and orientation of the computing device during the higher-power processing period.

Pose estimation in extended reality systems

Embodiments of apparatus and method for operating a companion processing unit. In an example, an apparatus includes an application processor, a memory, and a companion processing unit. The apparatus also includes an image sensor. The application processor is configured to turn on the image sensor, perform a scene detection on an image received from the image sensor, and determine whether a scene category of the image is supported by the companion processing unit. In response to the scene category being supported by the companion processing unit, the application processor controls the companion processing unit to start a boot-up sequence corresponding to the scene category. The boot-up sequence enables the companion processing unit to enter a mission mode in which the companion processing unit is ready to receive and process image data from the image sensor and send processed image data to the application processor.

Method and apparatus for operating a companion processing unit

Embodiments include methods for managing the processing of data and performing computing tasks of a wireless device using computing resources of a remote network computing device. A wireless device and a network computing device may dynamically track factors affecting a round-trip latency of a computing task. The wireless device and the network computing device may generate and send metadata including the factors and a latency budget for the computing task. The wireless device and the network computing device may adjust a processing time for processing data related to the computing task based the received metadata and the latency budget.

Processing data using remote network computing resources

In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a method for managing a command queue in a universal flash storage (UFS) host device. The method includes determining to power on a first subsystem of a system-on-a-chip (SoC), wherein the determination to power on the first subsystem is made by a second subsystem of the SoC based on detection of user identity data contained in a first image frame during an initial biometric detection process. In certain aspects, the second subsystem is configured to operate independent of the first subsystem and control power to the first subsystem. In certain aspects, the second subsystem includes a second optical sensor, a set of ambient sensors, and a second processor configured to detect, via a set of ambient sensors, an event comprising one or more of an environmental event outside of the device or a motion event of the device.

Multi-stage biometric authentication

In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a method for sharing a single optical sensor between multiple image processors. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving, at a control arbiter, a first desired configuration of a first one or more desired configurations for capturing an image frame by the optical sensor, the first one or more desired configurations communicated from a primary image processor. The method may also include receiving, at the control arbiter, a second desired configuration of a second one or more desired configurations for capturing the image frame by the optical sensor, the second one or more desired configurations communicated from a secondary image processor. The method may also include determining, by the control arbiter, an actual configuration for capturing the image frame by the optical sensor, the actual configuration based on the first desired configuration and the second desired configuration.
