  • Patent number: 9716972
    Abstract: A system, method and device to interrogate for the presence of objects, to prevent the inadvertent separation of the objects from their owner. An owner is alerted when they are separated from the objects by determining when a trigger event occurs, such as a person leaving and/or entering a particular monitored area or location. These monitored areas can be retrofitted with an electronic interrogation device that monitors local conditions to determine whether a user is entering or leaving the monitored area to trigger an interrogation of the personal items. The interrogation device is constructed and arranged to communicate with the objects to determine whether the objects are with the owner. The interrogation device automatically determines the presence of a particular object at the monitored environment and automatically generates a notification when needed. The system further controls functionality of the objects, according to illustrative embodiments, when the object is present.

  • Patent number: 8411829
    Abstract: A system, method and device for managing messages. A caller dialing a particular line has a message managing device operatively connected to the line, that records a copy of the message to be recorded on the line, such as on a conventional answering machine. The MMD includes ring detection circuitry to detect an incoming call. The copy of the message recorded on the line can be communicated to the appropriate user by correlating the incoming call data with a contact list or other preferences selected by a user. The user/recipient of the message can also be manually selected by the caller. The MMD can also implement a virtual phone application for creating a plurality of distinct, unique rings for one line, based upon the caller information.

  • Publication number: 20100131558
    Abstract: A system and method for storing and managing copyright licensing. There is provided a device for monitoring a business's performance of music or other copyrighted works to determine if the business has a license for performing the works. The device is generally employed by a user to record a sample of the work, as well as identifying information about the business, to assist in determining the licensing status of the business. A business location identification process obtains the information gathered from the device to identify the business where the device is located. A copyrighted work identification process obtains the recording of the copyrighted work from the device and identifies the particular copyrighted work. The business information is transmitted to a copyright license database that determines the licensing status of the business. If the business is not on the list, the business name is transmitted to a database of unlicensed businesses.
