  • Gesture based control application for data sharing
    Patent number: 10496178
    Abstract: Receiving user gesture input commands and interpreting the commands to conduct presentation level control system processing and related presentation communications includes, in one example, detecting an input gesture command via a controller and processing the input gesture command via a processor. The example may also include retrieving at least one data file object responsive to the processed input gesture command, and transmitting the at least one media object to a remote device.

  • System, method and computer readable medium for communicating with a zigbee device from a peripheral network
    Patent number: 9749774
    Abstract: In order to minimize traffic on a Zigbee network, a gateway of the Zigbee network represents end devices in communications with peripheral networks. The gateway receives messages, such as status request messages, from the peripheral network intended for an end device on the Zigbee network. The Zigbee network generates a response message by retrieving stored data for the end device instead of communicating the received message to the end device.

  • System, method and computer readable medium for re-connecting to a zigbee network
    Patent number: 9036527
    Abstract: An end device on a Zigbee network exits a power saving mode and transmits a wake notification message to the network. The network retrieves a cached status flag indicating whether the end device is defined on the Zigbee network and transmits the status flag to the end device. If the end device is undefined on the Zigbee network, the end device attempts to re-join the network. During the power saving mode, the network can cache messages intended for the end device and transmit the messages to the end device when the device exits the power saving mode.
