Attention evaluation by an extended reality system, the system determining one or more regions of interest (ROI) for an image displayed to a user. The system may also receive eye tracking information indicating an area of the image that the user is looking at. The system may further generate focus statistics based on the area of the image at which the user is looking at and the one or more ROI; and output the generated focus statistics.

User attention determination for extended reality

A method for energy-efficient state change detection and classification of streaming sequential data includes receiving via a first prediction model, sequential data from a sensor. The first prediction model determines a change in an activity state based on the sequential data. An indication that the activity state has changed is transmitted to a second prediction. The second prediction model determines an updated activity state based on the sequential data. The updated activity state is sent to the first prediction model, after which the second prediction enters an inactive state.

A mobile device comprises: a memory; at least one sensor for detecting data: a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the processor is configured to: synchronize the at least one sensor with a wake-up period of the mobile device; receive the data detected by the at least one sensor; determine positional information based on the received data; determine activity information based on the received data; estimate a forward position of the mobile device based on the positional information and the activity information; and perform a management of antenna beams of the mobile device based on the positional information, the activity information and the forward position.

Sensor aided beam management

Cardiovascular or respiratory data of a subject is measured using a multi-sensor system. The multi-sensor system includes a mm-wave FMCW radar sensor, an IMU sensor, and one or more proximity sensors. The mm-wave FMCW radar sensor may be selected and its view angle adjusted based on positioning data regarding the subject obtained from the one or more proximity sensors. Each of the mm-wave FMCW radar sensor and the IMU sensor may acquire cardiovascular or respiratory measurements of the subject, and the measurements may be fused for improved accuracy and performance.

Multi-sensor system for cardiovascular and respiratory tracking

Systems and techniques are described herein. For example, a process can include obtaining first sensor measurement data associated with a and second sensor measurement from one or more sensors. In some cases, the first measurement data can be associated with a first time and the second sensor measurement data can be associated with a second time occurring after the first time. In some aspects, the process includes determining that the first sensor measurement data and the second sensor measurement data satisfy at least one batching condition. In some examples, the process includes, based on determining that the first sensor measurement data and the second sensor measurement data satisfy the at least one batching condition, generating a sensor measurement data batch including the first sensor measurement data, the second sensor measurement data, and at least one target sensor measurement data. Ins examples the process includes outputting the sensor measurement data batch.

Sensor calibration

A device includes a memory and one or more processors. The memory is configured to store instructions. The one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to obtain electrical activity data corresponding to electrical signals from one or more electrical sources within a user's head. The one or more processors are also configured to execute the instructions to render, based on the electrical activity data, audio data to adjust a location of a sound source in a sound field during playback of the audio data.

Audio adjustment based on user electrical signals

A machine learning model is trained for user activity detection and context detection on a mobile device. The machine learning model is configured to learn a statistical relationship between an always-on sensing modality of the mobile device and actual user context. Rather than user annotations, the machine learning model is enhanced and personalized for the always-on sensing modality by automated annotations obtained from non-always-on sensing modalities. The non-always-on sensing modality opportunistically provides an imperfect label of user context, where the imperfect label has a known associated probability of error.

Weakly supervised learning for improving multimodal sensing platform

In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) determines, using an inertial measurement unit, an orientation of the UE and determines, using ambient light sensors, an ambient light condition of the UE. The UE determines, using a machine learning module and based on the orientation and the ambient light condition, a position of the UE. If the position comprises an on-body position, the UE uses the machine learning module and touch data received by a touchscreen of the UE to determine whether the position comprises an in-hand position. If the position comprises the in-hand position, the UE determines, using the machine learning module and based on the orientation and the touch data, a grip mode. If the position comprises an off-body position, the UE determines, using the machine learning module and at least one of the inertial measurement unit or the ambient light sensors, a user presence or a user absence.

Systems and methods for external access detection and recovery in a subsystem of a system-on-a-chip (SoC) in a portable computing device (PCD) are presented. In operation, a subsystem of the SoC is operated in an internal mode independently of the SoC while the SoC is in a low power state, such as a non-functional or zero power state or mode. The subsystem comprises a processor in communication with a memory, a sensor, and a monitor module. The monitor module detects when the processor of the subsystem requests access to a component external to the subsystem. In response to this detected request, the SoC is caused to enter into a full power state or mode, and the subsystem is caused to exit the internal mode of operation.
