Patent number: 11928951Abstract: A point-of-sale terminal is used to process purchases by a customer during normal operation. However, the point-of-sale terminal also may receive, aggregate and/or process information measured by sensors that are co-located with or in the vicinity of the point-of-sale terminal. The point-of-sale terminal may receive information from at least one sensor that indicates that the at least one sensor has sensed a measureable parameter that is outside of a threshold range; establish at least one communication channel with at least one third-party based on the indication that the at least one sensor has sensed a measureable parameter that is outside of the threshold range; and send to the at least one third party at least one communication relating to the at least one sensor indicating that the at least one sensor has sensed a measureable parameter that is outside of the threshold range.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: National Retail Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Elie Y. Katz, Harold Jeffrey Goldberg

Patent number: 11089466Abstract: A point-of-sale terminal is used to process purchases by a customer during normal operation. However, during an emergency, the cashier activates an “emergency button” to indicate that the cashier needs police assistance. Once the cashier has indicated that an emergency condition occurs, the point-of-sale terminal attempts to utilize at least one communications adapter to notify the police of the emergency condition, either directly or via a monitoring service if the store subscribes to a monitoring service.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: National Retail Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Elie Y.

Patent number: 10091254Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product through which address resolution is performed for nodes of a network that are behind a network address translator (NAT). A determination is made upon the initiation of a communication session as to whether one or more of the nodes included in the session are behind a NAT. Based on the determination, information is exchanged from an independent application server to the nodes included in the session so as to resolve the addressing problems introduced by the NAT. The invention is applicable in applications including, but not limited to, IP telephony, and applications complying with the session initiation protocol (SIP).Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2015Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Net2Phone, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Scott Kennedy, Jeffrey S. Skelton, Estie Galinsky, Alan Staniforth, Harold Jeffrey Goldberg
