LOW-POWER ARCHITECTURE FOR AUGMENTED REALITY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240013493 titled 'LOW-POWER ARCHITECTURE FOR AUGMENTED REALITY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for managing power resources in an augmented reality (AR) device. The method involves configuring a low-power mode and a high-power mode based on different sets of sensor data. The low-power mode runs on a low-power processor and operates a low-power application, while the high-power mode runs on a high-power processor and operates a high-power application. The AR device detects a request to operate the high-power application and activates the corresponding set of sensors.
- The method involves configuring a low-power mode and a high-power mode in an AR device.
- The low-power mode runs on a low-power processor and operates a low-power application.
- The high-power mode runs on a high-power processor and operates a high-power application.
- Different sets of sensor data are used for each mode.
- The AR device detects a request to operate the high-power application.
- The corresponding set of sensors is activated in response to the request.
Potential Applications:
- Efficient power management in AR devices.
- Extending battery life in AR devices.
- Optimizing performance based on application requirements.
Problems Solved:
- Power consumption in AR devices.
- Balancing power usage between low-power and high-power applications.
- Ensuring optimal performance without draining the battery quickly.
Benefits:
- Prolonged battery life in AR devices.
- Enhanced user experience by efficiently managing power resources.
- Flexibility to switch between low-power and high-power modes based on application needs.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for managing power resource in an augmented reality (ar) device is described. in one aspect, the method includes configuring a low-power mode to run on a low-power processor of the ar device using a first set of sensor data, and a high-power mode to run on a high-power processor of the ar device using a second set of sensor data, operating, using the low-power processor, a low-power application in the low-power mode based on the first set of sensor data, detecting a request to operate a high-power application at the ar device, in response to detecting the request, activating the second set of sensors of the ar device corresponding to the high-power mode, and operating, using the high-power processor, a high-power application in the high-power mode based on the second set of sensors.
