  • Patent number: 10793038
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a headrest-integrated entertainment system for a vehicle seat is provided. The headrest system comprises a head support unit adapted to be coupled to the seat of a vehicle; a base member adapted to be securely coupled to the head support unit; a cover panel member configured to enclosingly couple the base member to define a device compartment there-between, and a multimedia system including a display device observably retained in the device compartment. The base member and the cover panel member are securely coupled to each other through a plurality of integrally formed buckle units respectively distributed thereon. In certain embodiments, the cover panel member comprises a rearward facing panel that defines a viewing window for the display device, and a side panel that integrally extends from a lateral flank thereof. The rearward facing panel traverses substantially across a width of the head support unit.

  • Patent number: 10556549
    Abstract: A headrest system and a method of providing the same is disclosed. The headrest system comprises a head support unit adaptable onto a vehicle seat, a fabric member configured to envelope at least a portion of the head support unit, and a plurality of anchor members configured to retain the fabric member in a substantially staple-free fashion. The head support unit includes a pillow portion defining a head supporting surface. The fabric member includes a central portion configured to cover the head supporting surface, and a fringe portion integrally connected around the central portion. The anchor members are arranged at locations opposite to the head supporting surface, and are configured to engage selective parts of the fringe portion, so as to as to stretch the central portion substantially conformally over the head support surface of the pillow portion and substantially retain the fabric member on the head support unit.

  • Patent number: 10397684
    Abstract: Wireless speaker systems and methods for synchronous audio playback. Speaker systems can comprise more than one wireless speaker assembly, such as wireless earphones, in serial communication with an audio source device, such as a smartphone. Separate audio rendering by each wireless speaker assembly and synchronization of audio playback by imposing a fixed latency from an output timestamp associated with the audio source data, and rate matching the sample allow for tightly synchronized playback of stereo audio at low latency.

  • Patent number: 8998076
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for establishing connections among electronic devices. Embodiments of the invention can use a context code, such as, for example, a QR code to facilitate electronic device networking. The connection process between electronic devices is automated. For example, upon snapping a picture, a communication application establishes connection between devices and also serves as a port between the connected devices. Networking code can be greatly simplified, permitting application developers to devote more resources to developing application code.

  • Patent number: 7852861
    Abstract: A method of application level content routing using a (Dynamic VPN) dual-proxy mechanism that provides a client access to resources on a remote network without exposing each other's actual IP addresses and network topologies. The method includes providing a client a list of available resources on a remote network; initiating a request by the client for at least one resource from the list of available resources hosted on the remote network as though the at least one resource is local to the client; routing the request to the at least remote resource through a secure connection between the client and the remote network; responding to the request by the at least remote resource as though the request is initiated locally on the remote network; and routing the response from the remote network back to the client through the secure connection.
