SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MOVEMENT CONTROL IN MULTI-DEVICE ENVIRONMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18174564 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MOVEMENT CONTROL IN MULTI-DEVICE ENVIRONMENTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device that can perform maneuvers in the presence of another electronic device.

  • The electronic device can predict the change in acceleration of the second device caused by its own maneuver.
  • It will perform the maneuver if the predicted change in acceleration meets certain criteria, and will skip the maneuver if it doesn't.
  • While performing a maneuver, the electronic device can sense the change in acceleration of the second device and update its movement algorithm accordingly.
  • The update is based on the change in acceleration of the second device meeting certain criteria.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device performs one or more maneuvers in an environment including a second electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, the electronic device predicts a change in acceleration of the second device caused by the first device performing a maneuver and performs the maneuver if the predicted change in acceleration satisfies one or more criteria and forgoes the maneuver if the predicted change in acceleration does not satisfy the one or more criteria. In some embodiments, while performing a maneuver as part of a movement algorithm of the electronic device, the electronic device senses data indicative of a change in acceleration of a second electronic device and updates the movement algorithm in accordance with the change in acceleration of the second electronic device satisfying one or more second criteria.
