Patent number: 10419106Abstract: Technology for satellite-based content delivery network (CDN) is described. The satellite-based CDN uses a network architecture to provide global high-speed Internet service from above the sky through various aircrafts such as high-altitude airships, satellites, space stations, and eventually the lunar data centers by taking into consideration of the technology advancements in the RF and optical wireless communications. The satellite-based CDN provides content delivery over data networks, aviation, data storage, and edge caching. The satellite-based CDN supports both the delay-sensitive traffic such as interactive services, voice calls, and video calls that consume medium to low data bandwidth, and the more delay-tolerant but high bandwidth Internet content items such as streaming and background services (e.g. email, FTP).Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2018Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jungtao Liu, Jin Dong Kim

Patent number: 10353982Abstract: This disclosure describes a system for disambiguating between multiple potential users that may have performed an item action (e.g., item removal or item placement) at an inventory location. For example, if there are three picking agents (users) standing near an inventory location and one of the agents removes an item (item action) from the inventory location, the example systems and processes described herein may utilize various inputs to disambiguate between the users and determine which of the potential users performed the item action.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2013Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dilip Kumar, Ammar Chinoy, Sudarshan Narasimha Raghavan, Shrivatsan Vasudhevan, Jin Dong Kim

Patent number: 10149115Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for enabling orientation of directional antennas even when one or more of the directional antennas are moving. Position information for each directional antenna is transmitted using an omnidirectional antenna transmitting at a low bandwidth and a low power. The position information of the directional antennas is used to orient the directional antennas so that a high bandwidth, low power wireless connection can be enabled and/or maintained between the directional antennas. The position information is periodically transmitted and the orientation of the directional antennas is updated as one or more of the directional antennas move so that the wireless connection between the directional antennas is maintained.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2017Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Buchmueller, Ronald Joseph Degges, Jr., Jin Dong Kim, Gur Kimchi, Sang Eun Lee, Subram Narasimhan, Koohyun Um

Patent number: 10121118Abstract: A method of managing delivery of a group of packages to a customer delivery address. A radio transceiver establishes a communication link between a tag and a computing device. The tag is associated with a package, the package being among a group of packages to be delivered to the customer delivery address. A radio signal is received at the computing device over the link. The radio signal is representative of tracking information associated with the package, the tracking information includes a unique package code and a unique group identification code. The signal strength of the radio signal is determined. The computing device determines that the package associated with the tag belongs with the group of packages based at least in part on proximity of the tag relative to the computing device and a unique group identification code associated with the customer delivery address.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2015Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Jin Dong Kim, Sang Eun Lee

Patent number: 9532312Abstract: A misplaced user device deactivates processors and other resources so as to conserve residual battery power, while a radio frequency (RF) circuit remains active. The RF circuit transmits a beacon signal at time intervals to aid a user in locating and recovery of the misplaced user device by way of another user device operating in search mode. Information regarding the identity or other characteristics of the misplaced user device may be encoded in the beacon signal to assist in the search. The misplaced user device may modify the beacon signaling RF power, time intervals, information, or other parameters in response to an acknowledgement signal received from the searching user device.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2013Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jin Dong Kim, Arvind Thiagarajan
