Patent number: 11388668Abstract: A method for controlling, via a terminal, a standby mode of a first communication module of the terminal. The first communication module exchanges data with a first wireless access network. The terminal includes a second communication module, which exchanges data with a second wireless access network. The second communication module has a maximum data rate that is lower than a maximum data rate of the first communication module. The terminal belongs to a group of terminals sharing a set of one or several identification codes for connecting to the first wireless network. When the first communication module is in standby mode, the second communication module listens to a downlink between the second wireless access network and the terminal. The first communication module is activated and connects to the first wireless network using the indicated identification code in the activation request received from the server.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: SIGFOXInventor: Raoul Mallart

Publication number: 20220030040Abstract: A media stream is transmitted from a server device to a client device. The client device (10) transmits set-up request messages (43a), discovery messages (44b) and a play command message (45a). The server receives versions of the set-up request messages 43b), the discovery message (44b) and the play message (45b) with matching identifier in the payloads if the messages. The server device (12) receives the discovery messages (44b) on a predetermined port and stores information recording that the discovery messages (44b) have been received, at least when no corresponding set-up request message 43b has been received before. The server device (12) compares the identifiers from the received set up request message (43b) and the discovery message (44b) according to the information recording reception, at least when the discovery message (44b) has been received before the set-up request message (43b).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2021Publication date: January 27, 2022Applicant: III Holdings 6, LLCInventor: Raoul Mallart

Patent number: 10694528Abstract: A method for analyzing frequency resources within a predetermined multiplexing band. For at least one base station, capabilities for detecting uplink messages respectively in different frequency sub-bands within the multiplexing band are estimated. For each frequency sub-band, a predetermined service quality criterion is assessed depending on the detection capability estimated for the frequency sub-band. A spectral map of service quality for the base station is transmitted. The spectral map is representative of the frequency sub-bands for which the service quality criterion has been verified and the frequency sub-bands for which the service quality criterion has not been verified.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2016Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: SIGFOXInventors: Patrick Antoine, Guillaume Fumat, Raoul Mallart, Stéphane Baills

Patent number: 10492171Abstract: A method for transmitting broadcast signals from a group of base stations to terminals of a wireless communication system. Each base station having a coverage area. The coverage areas of the base stations of the group are distributed geographically such as to serve a geographical area. Since the broadcast signals are of limited duration and are transmitted in a frequency band used by all of the base stations of the group, the base stations of the group are time-synchronized in relation to one another. The broadcast signals from the base stations of the group are time-multiplexed. In addition, the wireless communication system has multiple geographical regions. Each region includes multiple groups of base stations), and the broadcast signals of different geographical regions are time-multiplexed.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2016Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: SIGFOXInventors: Benoit Ponsard, Raoul Mallart, Lionel Zirphile

Patent number: 6697869Abstract: In a broadcast application on a client-server network the streaming is emulated of animation data over the Internet to a large number of clients. The animation is considered a sequence of states. State information is sent to the clients instead of the graphics data itself. The clients generate the animation data itself under control of the state information. The server and clients communicate using a shared object protocol. Thus, streaming is accomplished as well as a broadcast without running into severe network bandwidth problems.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 1998Date of Patent: February 24, 2004Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Raoul Mallart, Atul Sinha

The animation is considered a sequence of states. State information is sent to the clients instead of the graphics data itself. The clients generate the animation data itself under control of the state information. The server and clients communicate using a shared object protocol. Thus, streaming is accomplished as well as a broadcast without running into severe network bandwidth problems. This approach is used to map a real life event, e.g., a motor race, onto a virtual environment in order to let the user participate in a virtual race against the real life professionals, the dynamics of the virtual environment being determined by the state changes sent to the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 1998Date of Patent: April 29, 2003Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventor: Raoul Mallart
