Patent number: 11785388Abstract: In embodiments of an audio control module (318), audio data (310) is received from an audio data source (314) for output to an audio rendering device (316). An initialization input (326) can be received from a wireless audio headset (320) and, responsive to receiving the initialization input, the audio data (328) is communicated to the audio headset. The audio that would be generated from the audio data (322) at the audio rendering device (316) is also limited, such as by replacing the audio data (322) with null audio data, clearing audio data packets from the audio data (322), or by asserting a mute signal (336) to the audio rendering device.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventors: Ramy S. Ayoub, Brian J. Sibilsky

Patent number: 11666414Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for clinicians in a medical environment to remotely assess the status of an asset without physically going to the specific place where the asset is located. By using sensors and special purpose rooms, the methods and systems provide an accurate view of what is going on with the asset. Furthermore, the methods and systems can be extrapolated to a patient's status (knowing if the patient is asleep or awake, or when the patient wakes up post anesthesia—this would imply that the patient wears a tag).Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Intelligent Locations, Inc.Inventors: Bogdan R. Nedelcu, Ramy S. Ayoub

Patent number: 9384217Abstract: In one embodiment, a method detects a user input for a telestration on an image being displayed on a display device and determines a plurality of image portions of the image based on the telestration. The plurality of image portions are determined by a boundary around each image portion based on the telestration. The method then determines a set of tags for the plurality of image portions. The set of tags are determined based on image recognition of content in the plurality of image portions. An operator is determined based on the telestration where the operator characterizes an operation to perform for the plurality of image portions. The method determines a search query based on applying the operator to the set of tags and causes a search to be performed using the search query.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2013Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: ARRIS Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Ramy S. Ayoub, Swee M. Mok

Patent number: 9191500Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for identifying a caller after receiving a missed call from a calling device that is not associated with the caller. An exemplary method involves obtaining an audio message from the caller, recognizing the caller as being a first contact of the called individual by matching an audio sample associated with the first contact to at least a portion of the audio message, and graphically indicating an association between the first contact and the missed call after recognizing the first contact as the caller.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2014Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Mark R.

Patent number: 9075572Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enhancing the video and audio capabilities of an electronic device (102) using a media enhancement dock (150, 250). According to certain aspects, the systems and methods enhance a field of view of a camera (116) with one or more optical lenses (152, 252, 254). Three dimensional images may be captured and constructed based on images from multiple optical lenses and a shutter (256). The dock may also enhance the sound captured by providing one or more far-field microphones (154, 262, 264). A beamforming analysis of the audio signals from multiple microphones may increase the sensitivity and localization of sound. Internal and/or external light sources may be adjusted by the dock to achieve a sufficient level of ambient light in the environment. Videoconferencing and gesture control applications executing on the electronic device may be enriched through use of the media enhancement dock.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2012Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Ramy S Ayoub, Daniel F Tell

Patent number: 8958018Abstract: A remote control device for a separate electronic device to be controlled has a secondary display screen, at least one user-input mechanism, and at least one microprocessor running a user interface application for use in providing control over operation of the electronic device to be controlled. The user interface application causes a user interface to be displayed on the display screen of the remote control device, and the user interface displayed on the display screen graphically mirrors a corresponding user interface independently run by the electronic device to be controlled. The remote control device also has a transmitter and receiver mounted within the body enabling a two-way wireless communication link to be established with the electronic device to be controlled. Apparatus and a method for controlling operation of a media display system are also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2010Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Brian J.

Patent number: 8699360Abstract: A communications system and method for exchanging spectrum usage information through a drop box (100) includes one or more central stations (101) that defines a region of operation. A central drop box (102) is associated with the central station (101) for providing a database of spectrum usage information. Stations (103, 105, 107) using the communications system may submit information regarding spectrum usage to the central drop box (102) that affects the region of operation (109, 115) for providing the most efficient and non-interfering uses of the frequency spectrum.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2008Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Motorola Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Stephen L.

Patent number: 8656422Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing targeted advertisements for linear television is provided herein. During operation a client device will determine whether or not an advertisement opportunity duration is known, unknown, or variable. Based on this determination, advertisements that best match the advertisement opportunity duration will be chosen via separate algorithms. More particularly, a first algorithm will be used to choose advertisements when the advertisement opportunity duration is known, a second algorithm will be used to choose advertisements when the advertisement opportunity duration is unknown, and a third algorithm will be used to choose advertisements when the advertisement opportunity duration is variable.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2011Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Ranjeet Kumar, Ramy S.

Publication number: 20140022183Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for sending information from a first computer to a second computer. The first computer may comprise a gesture module, a device-detection module, and a transmission module. The method may comprise receiving, by the gesture module, an input. The input may specify the information that is to be sent and a direction relative to the first computer. The input may have been generated by a user of the first computer performing a gesture. Using the specified direction, the device-detection module may then identify the second computer. The second computer may be located relative to the first computer substantially in the specified direction. The specified information may then be sent, by the transmission module, to the second computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2012Publication date: January 23, 2014Applicant: GENERAL INSTRUMENT CORPORATIONInventors: Ramy S.
