Publication number: 20210125213Abstract: Devices, computer-implemented methods, and computer-readable media for the redemption of merchant offers, such as online coupons, are provided. In some embodiments, online coupons may be provided in a native application of a mobile user device. When a user selects to use an online coupon, a coupon code box having a coupon code associated with the selected coupon may visually move from a first location to a second location of the native application, and a merchant website may be displayed in the native application. Additionally, in some embodiments, a user may drag-and-drop a coupon code box to an input field of a merchant webpage. Movement of a visual copy of the coupon code box may be animated along the drag path. Upon a drop of the coupon code box, a value of the coupon code may be entered into the input field.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2021Publication date: April 29, 2021Inventors: John Newman Faith, Jagjit Singh Bath, Eithan Zilkha, Cameron Kent Savage, David John Reese, James Damon Trim

Patent number: 10809962Abstract: In some examples, a computing device may include a first and a second touch screen display device coupled to each other by one or more hinges. The computing device may receive sensor data from one or more sensors, determine a first orientation of the computing device, and determine a first position of a user relative to the computing device. The computing device may route and/or rotate content sent to at least one of the display devices based on the first orientation and the first position. After the user places the computing device in a second orientation, the computing device may, after receiving additional sensor data, determine a second orientation of the computing device and a second position of the user. The computing device may route and/or rotate content sent to at least one of the display devices based on the second orientation and the second position.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2017Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Jace W. Files, John Trevor Morrison, James Damon Trim

Patent number: 10642317Abstract: In some examples, a computing device may include a first housing mechanically coupled to a second housing. The coupling may enable the first housing to be placed at an angle of between at least 0 to 180 degrees relative to the second housing. A clasp may be used to temporarily hold the first housing against the second housing when the first housing is placed at an angle of about 0 degrees relative to the second housing. A clasp sensor may determine that a user touched the clasp. In response, the computing device may initiate a boot process of an operating system. The boot process may capture biometric data using a biometric sensor in the clasp and compare the biometric data with previously stored biometric data associated with the user. The boot process may authenticate the user when the biometric data matches the previously stored biometric data.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: James Damon Trim, Jace W. Files, John Trevor Morrison, Michiel S. Knoppert

Patent number: 10339894Abstract: In some examples, a computing device includes a first display device coupled to a second display device by hinges. After determining that the computing device has been moved from a first orientation to a second orientation, the computing device may receive ambient light data from ambient light sensors associated with the first and second display device, temperature data from temperature sensors associated with the first and second display device, and color data from color sensors associated with the first and second display device. After determining that power is being received from an external power source or that the user prefers the display devices may be color matched, the computing device may perform one or more color adjustments based on the ambient light data, the temperature data, and the color data, thereby reducing a difference in a perceived color between the first display device and the second display device.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2018Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: James Damon Trim, Jace W.

Patent number: 8177641Abstract: A video game controller is equipped with an electronic input that can read a game identification code from an electronic key. When the user presents the key to the game controller, it relays the game ID to the game console. This electronic key may be read via RFID from a detachable faceplate for the controller. The game console utilizes the game ID to quickly find and launch the game from game storage. The game console itself may also be equipped with such an electronic input. The game storage can be built into the console, or on a server accessed through a home network or through the internet. Such use of an electronic key and detachable faceplate is extended to rapid and easy personalization, customization, and function enhancement of entertainment and other consumer electronics devices as well.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2006Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Albert J. Pennello, Jr., Edward C. Giaimo, III, Hugh E. McLoone, Jr., James Damon Trim, Manuel U. Bronstein, Richard H. Irving, William J. Lauby, Jeffery M. Reents, William Lawrence
