Surface classification and sensor tuning for a computer peripheral device
31 May 22
A computer peripheral device (e.g., a computer mouse) includes an optical sensor configured to generate optical data corresponding to a surface that the computer peripheral device is placed upon and a processor(s) configured to determine, based on the optical data, a relative displacement of the computer peripheral device along the surface, identify one or more characteristics of the surface based on the optical data; compare the one or more characteristics with one or more corresponding baseline characteristics stored in memory; classify, based on the comparing of the one or more characteristics with one or more corresponding baseline characteristics, a type of the surface; and adjust, based on the classified type of the surface, an aspect of the determination of the relative displacement of the peripheral device or an operation of the optical sensor that alters the generating of the optical data.

Utility
Video content activity context and regions
3 May 22
A method of operating a video camera system comprises recording video frames of a scene that includes a zone defined as an area within a field-of-view of the video capture element; performing a first analysis of recorded video frames showing the zone, determining, based on the first analysis, a first difference of composition thereof; performing a second analysis of an area outside of the zone; determining, based on the second analysis, a second difference of composition thereof; characterizing one or more properties corresponding to the second difference in composition; determining whether the one or more properties are associated with the first difference in composition within the zone and if so, characterizing the first difference in composition within the zone based on the one more properties and performing an action based on the characterization of the first difference in composition within the zone based on the one or more properties.
