Publication number: 20230396662Abstract: Systems and methods of providing push-to-talk communication techniques in a multimedia conferencing session are provided. For instance, a push-to-talk mode can be implemented in a conferencing session associated with a conferencing system comprising a plurality of endpoints. At least one of the endpoints can be a full duplex endpoint. A request for transmission capabilities can be received from a first endpoint. Transmission capabilities can be granted to the first endpoint based at least in part on one or more floor control parameters associated with the conferencing session. Subsequent to granting transmission capabilities to the first endpoint, audio data can be provided from the first endpoint to at least one endpoint of the plurality of endpoints in the conferencing session.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: Mutualink, Inc.Inventors: Joseph MAZZARELLA, Derrell LIPMAN, Anand SETLUR, Michael WENGROVITZ

Publication number: 20230034535Abstract: Embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product that enable secure access to cameras in smart buildings. Some embodiments control outbound video from an environment such as a local network through an intelligent on-event video pushing mechanism. The local intelligent on-event video pushing mechanism hides the IP address of a source video camera, transcodes the video to a reduced size for wide area distribution, and pushes video to a recipient upon an event triggered received within the local environment (e.g., the local network.) Embodiments enable a remote video client on the far-side of the local network firewall to view the video streams of cameras on the near-side of the local network firewall when an event or trigger occurs.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Applicant: Mutualink, Inc.Inventors: Anand SETLUR, Joseph R.

Patent number: 10861317Abstract: Embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product for a wearable smart gateway (WSG) that is capable of providing interoperability gateway functions for a variety of wearable devices. In an embodiment, the WSG detects one or more devices within a proximity that use communication interfaces supported by corresponding plug-ins installed in the memory. Then, the WSG establishes communication channels with the detected one or more devices according to configurations within the corresponding plug-ins, wherein the established communication channels forms a personal area network. The WSG may perform interoperability gateway functions to communicate data monitored by the one or more devices within the personal area network to an agency via a wide area data network.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: MUTUALINK, INC.Inventors: Michael S.

Patent number: 10861318Abstract: Embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product for a wearable smart device that provides improved connectivity for performing interoperability gateway functions for a variety of devices. In an embodiment, the wearable smart device receives data monitored by one or more devices within a proximity threshold via respective communication channels of the one or more devices. The wearable smart device detects two or more connectivity paths for providing access to a wide area network. Then, the wearable smart device monitors first statuses of the one or more devices and respective communication channels, and second statuses of the two or more connectivity paths. Based on the monitored first and second statuses, the wearable smart device selects one of detected connectivity paths. Then, the wearable smart device communicates the monitored data to an agency via the selected connectivity path.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Mutualink, Inc.Inventors: Michael S.

Publication number: 20080104145Abstract: A backup device for a computer network is able to back up all shared files without the need to install software on the computers. A backup device, including a DVD drive, is connected to the network and includes all of the necessary software for execution. The backup device retrieves the files and directories for all computers on the network. A user can then designate the folders and files to be backed up. Folders are designated using different states which clarify the backup states of new subfolders and files. Backup files are stored based upon a digest of the file contents. The digest allows identical files, anywhere in the network, to be backed up only once. The folder system of the backup device uses the digests to determine storage locations for quick storage and retrieval. Encryption and key control are handled by the backup device in order to protect the backed up data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2007Publication date: May 1, 2008Inventors: Derrell Lipman, Howell S.

Publication number: 20020032019Abstract: A method of near real time assembly of personalized playlists wherein a limited number of broadcast streams of programming content are assembled into a much larger number of unique playlists. The broadcast streams are available to the user by means of the Internet or other wired or wireless data system, from within or without a cooperative network. Component items from the broadcast streams are buffered at or near a user and identified for potential use as substitutes in a base channel selected by the user. The candidate substitute items are not identified to the user unless and until they are actually played in the personalized playlist. A unique personalized playlist is locally assembled for the user from generic publicly available streams while no uniquely originated stream is required. A customizer directs the assembly of the playlist according to one or both of the preferences of the user, and the style of a station that streams a base channel from which the personal playlist may be assembled.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2001Publication date: March 14, 2002Inventors: Michael B.
