Patent number: 11528447Abstract: A video messaging system facilitates a video messaging session between a client device and a remote device. A remote device provides information (e.g., a link) to a client device for connecting to a video messaging session. The client device uses the provided information to connect to the video messaging session between the client device and the remote device. The video messaging session generally includes two-way communication, with at least video information being transmitted by the client device to the remote device, and instructions describing video operations being transmitted by the remote device to the client device. The video operations may include annotating the video, rewinding the video, pausing the video, and various other modifications to the video. The video messaging system may mirror operations performed on one device (e.g., the remote device) on the other device (e.g., the client device) in the video messaging session.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2021Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: Viewabo, Inc.Inventor: George Shih-Hao Cheng

Patent number: 10867117Abstract: Portions of document contents are separated into individually controlled sections on a user interface of a smaller size client device display. A document viewed on a mobile device may include different content portions such as textual content, tables, slides and graphics. Due to a smaller user interface of the mobile device, some portions of the content may extend outside of the user interface and may not all be visible at the same time. The user may use gestures to scroll through and resize the document to view all of the contents. The system may separate each of the different content portions into individual sections and enable the user to control each section separately, such that the user may navigate, resize, and reposition each individual section without affecting the size and position of the remaining sections of the document for optimally viewing the document on the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2015Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sharlene Yuan, Jackie Chang, Buddha Wang, Esther Tsai, April Jiang, George Shih, Eric Yeh

Patent number: 8112103Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for mobile device messaging. Mobile device messaging comprises collecting from an originating system information including content data to be sent to the mobile device. One or more short messages are generating for encapsulating the content data. The one or more short messages are formatted to be readable by a web service and the content data is formatted to be readable by the mobile device. The one or more short messages are sent to the web service for delivery to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2004Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Inventors: Kuang-Chao Eric Yeh, Lynn Lin, George Shih

Publication number: 20100088121Abstract: A system for reporting medical information to healthcare provider users may require users to acknowledge receipt of information. Information may be sent using a secure instant messaging (SIM) protocol, and users may acknowledge receipt, e.g., by sending a message, or clicking on a uniform resource locator (URL) or button included in the information. Unacknowledged information may be re-sent at designated time intervals, and may have different levels of urgency indicated in the message. Acknowledgement may be tracked by the system, e.g., by recording the user and timestamp of acknowledgement. Feeds or syndications (e.g., RSS, RDF, Atom, etc.) may be used to provide medical information, allowing users to subscribe to feeds for one or more patients. Feeds may be continuously aggregated and updated with the most recent information for each of the patients.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2009Publication date: April 8, 2010Applicant: VitessoInventors: George Shih, Yonghuan Cao

Patent number: 7655098Abstract: A flush and fill process is used to ready a fuel cell cooling circuit for initial use. An external flushing system releasably connected to the cooling circuit circulates flushing coolant through the cooling circuit to remove contaminants from the wetted surfaces of the cooling circuit before the fuel cell is put into use. The flushing system includes a pump for circulating the flushing coolant through the cooling circuit, filters for removing contaminants from the coolant and a heater for elevating the temperature of the coolant. Following the flushing process to remove contaminants, the flushing system is disconnected from the cooling circuit and the cooling circuit is filled with fresh coolant.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2006Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: Ford Motor CompanyInventors: George Shih, William Schwartz, Chendong Huang, Mukesh Kumar, Byung Kim, Sherry Mueller, Vijay Garg
