Publication number: 20240152319Abstract: Systems and methods for providing supplemental information with a response to a command are provided herein. In some embodiments, audio data representing a spoken command may be received by a cloud-based information system. A response to the command may be retrieved from a category related to the context of the command. A supplemental information database may also be provided that is pre-populated with supplemental information related to an individual having a registered account on the cloud-based information system. In response to retrieving the response to the command, supplemental information may be selected from the supplemental information database to be appended to the response to the command. A message may then be generated including the response and the supplemental information appended thereto, which in turn may be converted into audio data representing the message, which may be sent to a voice-controlled electronic device of the individual.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Srikanth Doss Kadarundalagi Raghuram Doss, Jeffery David Wells, Richard Dault, Benjamin Joseph Tobin, Mark Douglas Elders, Stanislava R.

Publication number: 20190073612Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for progressive rendering of report results. These mechanisms and methods for progressive rendering of report results can enable embodiments to render report results in portions as they are received. The ability of embodiments to render report results in portions as they are received can enable report results to be progressively rendered such that delay is avoided Which would otherwise occur when rendering only in response to receipt of an entirety of the report results.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2018Publication date: March 7, 2019Inventors: Thomas Joseph Tobin, Vladislav Eroshin, Zuye Zheng, Patrick Louie, Jeremiah Lu, Arunkumaran Varadharajan

Patent number: 10200111Abstract: The Aircraft Mobile IP Address System provides wireless communication services to passengers who are located onboard an aircraft by storing data indicative of the individually identified wireless devices located onboard the aircraft. The System assigns a single IP address to each Point-to-Point Protocol link which connects the aircraft network to the ground-based communication network but also creates an IP subnet onboard the aircraft. The IP subnet utilizes a plurality of IP addresses for each Point-to-Point link thereby to enable each passenger wireless device to be uniquely identified with their own IP address. This is enabled since both Point-to-Point Protocol IPCP endpoints have pre-defined IP address pools and/or topology configured; each Point-to-Point Protocol endpoint can utilize a greater number of IP addresses than one per link. Such an approach does not change IPCP or other EVDO protocols/messaging but does allow this address to be directly visible to the ground-based communication network.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2017Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: GOGO LLCInventors: Bryan A. Lauer, Jerry Stamatopoulos, Anjum Rashid, Joseph A. Tobin, Patrick J. Walsh, Steven J. Arntzen
