IPC: G01D5/243
Filed: 2020-03-18
Abstract: A resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor is driven by a driver configured at a driving frequency, and a measurement circuit coupled to the sensor determines a measured change in the sensor’s resonant frequency.

Title: Predictive power management using machine learning
Inventor: George Thomas Des Jardins
IPC: H04N21/443
Filed: 2020-07-17
Abstract: Systems and methods for power control in a media receiver device (e.g. set-top box (STB), Television) having plural sensor components. Input signals are received from at least one sensor (or electronic) component. A device alertness state is determined using a machine learning based determiner (or classifier) trained to process the received input signals and predict a subsequent alertness state identifying at least one additional sensor component. Power consumption by the additional component(s) is controlled (e.g. supplying or disconnecting power) by output data based on the predicted alertness state. Alertness may be predicted based on comparison of input from sensor components to conditional transitions between predicted alertness states. The machine learning determiner may be further trained to predict a subsequent alertness state based on received input and additional input data identifying device context. Alternatively, there is a method using machine learning to train a model to output data to control power consumption at individual device-component level of a device, using data received from the device identifying interactions with device-components; the model configures the device to predict a device operational state based on received data, and control power consumption by components based on predicted operational state. Further, similar general control based on the trained classifier is also claimed.
