Patent number: 11979947Abstract: Gateway devices can use dual cellular interfaces, each assignable to at least one of a plurality of network services, to provide reliable communications for client machines. A gateway device can use one of the dual cellular interfaces assigned to a first network service as a primary interface and the other assigned to a second network service as a hot backup interface. The backup interface remains connected to a cellular network while communications are routed on the primary interface. Accordingly, the gateway device can rapidly switch communications between from the primary interface to the backup interface. Applications, for example, for ATM payment processing, vending machine telemetry, point of sale payment processing, kiosk internet connectivity, remote monitoring and control, mobile or electronic health, and remote information displays, may run on the gateway devices, on servers, on user devices, or a combination of these devices.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: SYSTECH CORPORATIONInventors: La Vaughn F. Watts, Jr., Dean McDaniel, Donald G. Armerding, Andrew Marder, Anderson Wiese, Robert Lutz

Patent number: 10652328Abstract: Systems, methods, and media for managing gateways. In an embodiment, a virtual gateway is generated which comprises a representation of each of one or more active scripts and/or device information (e.g., device drivers, and/or definitions and/or configurations for devices, device types, and/or device groups) stored on at least one remote physical gateway. At least one user interface is provided for editing each of the one or more active scripts and/or device information represented in the virtual gateway. Synchronization is automatically maintained, across at least one network, between the one or more active scripts and/or device information represented in the virtual gateway and the one or more active scripts and/or device information stored on the at least one remote physical gateway.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2019Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: SYSTECH CORPORATIONInventors: La Vaughn Ferguson Watts, Jeff Rucker, Anderson Wiese, Roger Wellington-Oguri

Patent number: 8812616Abstract: Systems and methods for accessing data from one or more remote devices and providing data to remote devices installed behind one or more firewalls are provided. The remote devices are configured to automatically detect network connectivity and to open a network connection to a remote port access (RPA) server. The remote devices initiate the connection with the RPA server enabling the connection to be established through the firewall. A client device establishes a network connection to the RPA server in order to access data from or to provide data to one or more of the remote devices. The RPA server acts as an intermediary between the RPA server and the remote devices that receives data from the client device and sends the data to the remote device and receives data from the remote devices and sends the data to the client device.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2009Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Systech CorporationInventor: Donald G.

Patent number: 4937815Abstract: System and method for regulating the servicing of multiple peripheral devices by a central processing unit. The system and method is highly beneficial where some of the peripheral devices place equal priority demand on the central processing unit. A plurality of link interfaces are interconnected between the peripheral devices and the central processing unit. The link interfaces are interconnected by means of token transmission circuitry. The token transmission circuitry requlates the operation of the link interfaces and thereby the serving of the peripheral devices. The use of the token transmission circuitry substantially increases the efficiency and performance of the link interfaces.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 1988Date of Patent: June 26, 1990Assignee: Systech CorporationInventor: L.
