  • Patent number: 11275452
    Abstract: A computing device receives a response comprising one or more data sets corresponding to an identifier. The computing device identifies a first data set identifier in the response that signals the beginning of a first data set and edits the first data set to comprise a first keyboard stroke entry prefix understood by a second computing device as defining the first data set as a first particular type of data and a keyboard stroke entry suffix understood by the second computing device as defining an end of the first data set. The computing device identifies and edits a second data set. The edited first and second data sets are transmitted to the second computing device, where it processes the data sets based on the keyboard stroke entry prefixes and recognizes the end of the data sets based on the keyboard stroke entry suffix.

  • Patent number: 10178555
    Abstract: A master beacon device emits a data packet that is received and retransmitted by servant beacon devices in a wireless mesh network that enables the beacon devices to detect the received signal strength indicator (“RSSI”) of beacon devices in proximity. Each servant beacon device transmits survey data packets comprising the RSSIs and hardware identifiers of proximate beacon devices to the master beacon device, which constructs a first virtual map of the mesh network. At a later time, each servant beacon device transmits authentication data packets, which are retransmitted, each retransmitting beacon inserting an RSSI and hardware identifier of the beacon device from which the authentication data packet was received, until they reach the master beacon device, which constructs a second virtual map of the mesh network. The master beacon device compares the first virtual map to the second virtual map to determine if the network is secure.

  • Patent number: 7756718
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating delivery of software applications from software manufacturers and channel partners to their aggregated customer base are described. The system enables both direct customers of software manufacturers and customers of channel partners to receive electronic delivery of digital assets and licenses from a single electronic software delivery site. The system enables software manufacturers to uniquely define the use of the electronic software and license delivery service for each of their associated channel partners, including defining whether the channel partner can submit orders directly to the system and to define limits on such orders, to specify which products from the manufacturer's catalog is a channel partner allowed to deliver, and to define which reporting information the manufacturer may access for data submitted by each channel partner.
