Publication number: 20200219212Abstract: A method and system are provided for managing and facilitating the provision of a variety of real estate related services via an IOS/Android application with internet/website administration. Specifically, licensed real estate agents purchase and download the iOS/Android platform application and sign up to be verified users of the system. Based on information provided by the agent, the system verifies and authorizes the agents to use the system. Authorized agents can then submit requests for real-estate related services to be completed for pay, such as hosting open houses, meeting contractors, appraisers, or other service providers at a property, ordering gifts and/or delivering gifts to real estate clients. Other verified users, either real estate agents or other trusted individuals, can bid to complete posted tasks. The system will collect funds from the job posting agent and provide payment to the job completion agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2020Publication date: July 9, 2020Inventors: DeShawn Steven Robinson, Jesse David Logan

Patent number: 10225336Abstract: Systems and methods utilize a distributed server network to allow for the optimization of the upload of a data stream from a computing device. Performance metrics are estimated for different network paths from the computing device to a variety of entry servers in the distributed server network. Based on the estimated performance metrics, one or more entry servers are then selected to receive the data stream from the computing device. As a result, the systems and methods described herein allow for high quality upload performance which addresses the first mile vulnerability issues of the data stream. The distributed server network can then transmit copies of the data stream in real-time to other computing devices.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2017Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: KRYTERION, INC.Inventors: Laura Perryman, Eric Walton, David Logan, Michael Collins

Patent number: 9984582Abstract: Systems and methods described herein utilize a distributed server network to allow for the real-time distribution of copies of a data stream uploaded from a computing device. The uploaded data stream corresponds to an environment surrounding a user (exam taker) of the computing device during execution of a testing routine for an examination. Providing copies of the data stream in real-time allows proctors as well as other test assessment authorities to ‘peek in’ on the exam taker's environment surrounding the exam. As a result, the environment surrounding the exam taker can be monitored in real-time to determine whether any visual or audio activity in the environment constitutes activity not in accordance with the exam protocol. Following an affirmative determination that the exam taker violated an exam taking protocol, the proctor or other test assessment authority can then make a final or early decision regarding disciplinary action.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2016Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: Kryterion, Inc.Inventors: David Logan, Eric Walton, Michael Collins

Patent number: 9538268Abstract: An improved loudspeaker system includes an asymmetrical array of dissimilar drivers, namely a first driver and a second complementary driver configured in an array and driven in parallel so that the measured on-axis frequency response and the output power (SPL) is improved as compared to a symmetrical array (with similar or matched midrange or mid-bass drivers), while retaining a flat tonal balance. This speaker system and method for voicing was discovered to provide lower distortion, improved frequency response and greater clarity as compared to the prior art or traditional (e.g., MTM) loudspeaker configurations.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2014Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: DEFINITIVE TECHNOLOGY, LLCInventors: Timothy A.
