US Patent Issued to STMicroelectronics International on June 24 for "User orientation detection using machine learning counter algorithm" (British Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,340,014, issued on June 24, was assigned to STMicroelectronics International N.V. (Geneva).

"User orientation detection using machine learning counter algorithm" was invented by Carl Erik Larsen (Edinburgh, Great Britain).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "According to an embodiment, a method for determining an orientation of an object in a field-of-view of a time-of-flight sensor is proposed. The method includes receiving a sensor readout from the time-of-flight sensor; feeding the sensor readout as an input to a neural network, the neural network trained on a set of data with a binary output that classifies the input as being valid or inval...
