Publication number: 20240152612Abstract: A cloud-based operating-system-event and data-access monitoring method includes collecting event information from a monitored cloud-based element. One or more structured event payloads based on the event information is then generated. The structured event payloads that produce one or more validated event collections are then validated. The one or more validated event collections are then serialized and filtered to remove redundant structured event payload data. The filtered validated structured event payloads are then de-serialized to produce a time-sequenced, ordered event stream. The time-sequenced, ordered event stream is de-duplicated to remove duplicate structured event payloads. The time-sequenced ordered event stream is then processed to generate processed information security results.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Christopher GERVAIS, Sean T. Reed, Nicholas S. Goodwin, Joseph D. Baker, Samuel Bisbee-vonKaufmann, Nathan D. Cooprider, David C. Hagman, Lucas M. Dubois, Jennifer A. Andre

Patent number: 9204081Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for minimizing cable and off-air signal detection on separate cable and off-air input jacks in a set-top terminal with two or more tuners. The systems and methods employ logic to progress through different scan configurations with different input jack/signal detection assignments to minimize signal detection delay. Tuners are pooled for a given input jack/signal assignment, scanned frequencies are queued and carried to the next scan configuration, and user input is employed, whenever possible. The systems and methods are of particular value for retail applications, where users may install cable, off-air, or both sources incorrectly to their set-top terminal's cable and off-air input jacks.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2008Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: ARRIS Technology, Inc.Inventors: Jay W. Strater, Thomas L. DuBreuil, David C. Goodwin

Patent number: 8880462Abstract: A method (40), system (10) and control device (14) are provided for delivering information, such as Emergency Alert System (EAS) information, to one or more client devices (16) in a network, e.g., a home network or business network. The control device (14), which is connected to the client devices (16) via a suitable home or business network connection, receives information, such as EAS information, from an appropriate transmission source (22). The control device (14) performs any one or more of a number of functions that allows the information to be properly received by appropriate client devices (16). Such functions include formatting or encoding the information as needed by the client devices (16) to properly receive the information. Also, using a tuner (38), the control device (14) can be tuned to an appropriate channel for providing the information to the appropriate client devices (16).Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2005Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Christopher J. Stone, David C. Goodwin, Andrea C. Harriman

Patent number: 7769370Abstract: A method and system for facilitating communication, generally called pairing, between a wireless handheld device and a electronic communication device is disclosed. The method includes transmitting a line-of-sight signal from the wireless handheld device to a electronic communication device. The line-of-sight signal serves to identify the wireless handheld device. This transmission results in a received line-of-sight signal at the electronic communication device. The method also includes enabling a non-line-of-sight communication between the wireless handheld device and the electronic communication device. The non-line-of-sight communication is enabled on the basis of the received line-of-sight signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2006Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Thomas L. Du Breuil, David C. Goodwin, Allen Lee

Patent number: 7685617Abstract: A method for selectively and multiply routing a media stream input to a media appliance is provided. The method includes receiving the media stream. Further, the method includes distributing the media stream onto a plurality of individual media paths within the media appliance. Furthermore, the method includes routing the media stream on at least a first one of the media paths to a first media processor within the media appliance, while simultaneously routing the media stream on at least one other of the media paths to at least one additional media processor within the media appliance.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2006Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: General Instrument CorporationInventors: David C. Goodwin, Thomas L. Du Breuil, Peter A. Kindinger, Mark A. Kolber, Anthony M. Radice

Publication number: 20080151867Abstract: A video information appliance (104) for facilitating routing of a plurality of independent video signals is provided. The video information appliance includes a plurality of video signal input interfaces (202), a signal router (204), a plurality of video output ports (206) and a processor (208). Each of the plurality of video signal input interfaces is adapted to facilitate reception of the plurality of independent video signals. The signal router is coupled to the plurality of video signal input interface. The plurality of video output ports are coupled to the signal router. The processor is adapted to control the signal router to selectively direct at least one of the received independent video signals to at least a first video output port. The processor is also adapted to direct at least one other of the received independent video signals to at least a second video output port.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2006Publication date: June 26, 2008Applicant: GENERAL INSTRUMENT CORPORATIONInventors: David C.

Patent number: 7307523Abstract: A method for monitoring motion of an entity within a predetermined boundary established using a location detection technology. Sensor data is acquired from a motion sensor that senses non-positional movement of the entity and is attachable to the entity. A learned movement pattern associated with the entity is accessed. Computing techniques are used to analyze the acquired sensor data in relationship to the learned movement pattern. A current movement pattern is identified based on the analysis. It is determined whether the current movement pattern is a reportable movement pattern, and if so, a predetermined action is performed.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2005Date of Patent: December 11, 2007Assignee: General Instrument CorporationInventors: Thomas F.

Patent number: 7113230Abstract: A television receiver includes circuitry that quickly derives a channel map for a DTV receiver. The apparatus includes tuner that is controlled by a processor in the television receiver to periodically test each channel frequency to determine the strength of the signal at that frequency. If the signal strength exceeds a threshold value, the channel map is updated to indicate that a channel exists at that frequency. The processor monitors the signal recovered by the tuner during normal television viewing for valid program information. If the processor does not detect valid program information for a channel in the program map, the threshold value used by the processor to build the channel map is raised. If the processor detects valid program information then information on the estimated noise level in the received DTV signal is used to update the threshold value. In one embodiment of the invention, the television receiver includes both a main tuner and an auxiliary tuner.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2000Date of Patent: September 26, 2006Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Dave Genovese, David C.
