The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for power-management on camera devices. In one aspect, a method is performed at a camera device having memory, one or more processors, and an image sensor. The method includes: (1) while a wireless communication component of the camera device is deactivated: (a) capturing a plurality of images containing a motion event; (b) characterizing the motion event; and (c) determining, based on the characterization of the motion event, whether to send video data to a remote computing system; and (2) in accordance with a determination to send video data to the remote computing system: (i) activating the wireless communication component of the camera device; (ii) establishing a wireless connection to the remote computing system via the wireless communication component; and (iii) sending video information to the remote computing system via the established wireless connection.

Systems and methods of power-management on smart devices

Systems and methods for enabling a system to rapidly respond to wireless instructions being transmitted by a personal device over one of several communications networks that share a common RF medium are provided. During operation of the system, certain network communications may take priority over other network communications. Rapid response communications enable a user to communicate with the system, using the personal device, in a manner that does not collide or interfere with higher priority network communications.

Systems and methods for processing coexisting signals for rapid response to user input

The various implementations disclosed herein include a camera assembly configured for communication over multiple communication protocols. The camera assembly includes: (1) an enclosed housing; (2) a lens module positioned within the enclosed housing and configured to receive light; (3) circuit board(s) positioned within the enclosed housing; (4) communication circuitry coupled to the circuit board(s) and configured to wirelessly communicate over a plurality of different communication protocols, the communication circuitry including one or more transceivers configured for communication over a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol; (5) a first antenna arranged at a first location on the circuit board(s), the first antenna configured for communication over the first communication protocol; and (6) a second antenna arranged at a second location on the circuit board(s), the second antenna configured for communication over the second communication protocol.

Systems, methods, and devices for managing coexistence of multiple transceiver devices by optimizing component layout

Systems, methods, and devices for hazard detection are described. A hazard detection device may include a printed circuit board. The hazard detection device may further include a chassis that provides a housing for components of the hazard detection device; a smoke chamber that is mid-mounted; a carbon monoxide sensor that is mounted with the circuit board; and a speaker assembly that partially encircles the mid-mounted smoke chamber.

Hazard detector architecture facilitating compact form factor and multi-protocol wireless connectivity

Systems and methods systems and methods for altering a state of system using a remote device that processes gestures are described herein. The electronic device can communicate with the system in response to monitoring a user generated gesture or other interaction. For example, a user can wave the personal device or wave to the personal device, and in response thereto, the personal device can transmit an instruction to the system that causes it to change its operational state. Thus, embodiments discussed herein enable a user to perform remote gestures with a first device to affect the operation of a second device.

A camera assembly includes an enclosed housing having a rear surface, a front surface, and a periphery. The camera assembly also includes a lens module located within the housing and configured to receive light via the front surface, and a circuit board comprising communication circuitry located within the housing and configured to wireless communicate over a plurality of different communication protocols. The camera assembly further includes a first antenna arranged at a location on the circuit board, the first antenna configured for communication over a first one of the communication protocols, and a second antenna arranged at a location on the inner surface of the periphery, the second antenna configured for communication over a second one of the communication protocols.

Systems, methods, and devices are included for providing hazard detection. For example, a hazard detection device may include a printed circuit board. The hazard detection device may further include a chassis that provides a housing for components of the hazard detection device; a smoke chamber that at least partially houses a photoelectric diode; a carbon monoxide sensor that at least partially encased in a metallic covering; a first wireless interface component that comprising a first radio antenna configured to transmit and receive data according to a first wireless communication protocol; and a second wireless interface component that comprises a second radio antenna configured to transmit and receive data using a second wireless communication protocol.

The present disclosure relates to amplitude based pre-distortion calibration of an RF communications terminal, such as a cell phone, by transmitting a first standard RF transmit burst from the RF communications terminal to an RF test instrument, which assimilates the first standard RF transmit burst. A calibration control system extracts information regarding the first standard RF transmit burst from the RF test instrument; determines amplitude based distortion of the RF communications terminal using the extracted information; determines amplitude based pre-distortion calibration information using the determined amplitude based distortion; and calibrates the RF communications terminal using the amplitude based pre-distortion calibration information. By using a single-shot transmit burst, calibration times may be minimized. To calibrate the RF communications terminal at multiple transmit frequencies, multiple single-shot transmit bursts may be used, such that each single-shot transmit burst is at a different calibration frequency.
