Publication number: 20190072938Abstract: Techniques are described for controlling distributed operations of devices, such as for devices that are each part of or otherwise associated with a mechanical system containing actuators to manipulate a surrounding environment and optionally further containing sensors to obtain information from the surrounding environment, and with such a device controlling the associated system to perform industrial operations. The described techniques may include identifying a group of multiple such devices to perform one or more assigned tasks, such as in a cooperative distributed manner with each device performing part of the assigned tasks, and/or in a competitive manner with some or all devices independently performing at least one assigned task. The performances of the devices may further be evaluated in various manners, and the devices selected to perform one or more tasks may be identified in various manners (including based at least in part on past performance evaluations).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2018Publication date: March 7, 2019Inventors: Robert Frederick, Michael Sangeun Woo, Justin Jaewook Yu, Justin Arruda, Ryan Azucena, John Thomas Hurr, Matthew Aaron Kleczka, Russell Brian Dodds, Chris Gay, Thang Le

Patent number: 9819734Abstract: Techniques are described for providing functionality to users of mobile devices, including coordinating the inter-connection of multiple mobile devices, such as for multiple mobile devices of multiple distinct types, and optionally using multiple different types of inter-connections. In some situations, the described techniques include performing matchmaking operations to determine whether and/or how a group of multiple inter-connected mobile devices will provide functionality to each other and/or will access functionality from one or more remote server computing systems, including to select a host mobile device for the group. In addition, in some situations, the described techniques include providing a distributed display canvas functionality, by using the displays of multiple inter-connected mobile devices of a group to display some or all of the graphical user interface (“GUI”) of an application, such as by displaying on each mobile device a distinct portion of the GUI specific to that mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2015Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: SIRQUL, INC.Inventors: Robert Frederick, Justin Yu, Justin Arruda, Darren Austin

Publication number: 20150088624Abstract: Techniques are described for providing functionality and information to users, including providing promotional information and opportunities to users of mobile devices in manners that are based at least in part on activities and locations of the users (e.g., based on games played by the users on their mobile devices and/or based on user satisfaction of system-directed tasks associated with offers or other activities). At least some of the promotional information and opportunities may be made available by various companies or entities that provide products and/or services (e.g., retailers, merchants, wholesalers, distributors, etc.) and/or by various companies or entities that provide advertising for available products and/or services. Various types of activities may be defined and used to provide promotional information and opportunities to users of mobile devices in particular embodiments and situations.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2014Publication date: March 26, 2015Inventors: Robert Frederick, Michael Sangeun Woo, Justin Jaewook Yu, Justin Arruda, Ryan Azucena, John Thomas Hurr, Matthew Aaron Kleczka
