Patent number: 11863239Abstract: Techniques of present disclosure are directed to methods of providing acoustic communication networks. For example, methods are provided for that include obtaining, at a first transceiver of a plurality of transceivers arranged within an installation pattern, a first acoustic signal provided by a second transceiver of the plurality of transceivers. A location of the first transceiver within a message distribution pattern is determined from the acoustic signal. A delay based upon the location of the first transceiver within the message distribution pattern is determined. Finally, a second acoustic signal corresponding to the first acoustic signal is provided from the first transceiver after the delay.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: L3Harris Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Petersen, Richard Winslow

Publication number: 20170372351Abstract: Subject innovations are directed towards a churn model using dynamic state-space modeling to determine churn risks for each active subscriber of a service provider having exhibited a precise sequence of behaviors. The churn model identifies complex behavioral patterns that are consistent with those of subscribers who have churned in a defined past, allowing for a personalized determination of churn risk. The churn model may also use static contextual data to assist in refinement of the churn model through identification of subscriber segments. A churn index is produced that may be used by an automated contextual marketing model to refine decision making for selectively marketing to a subscriber based, in part, on that individual subscriber's churn risk.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2017Publication date: December 28, 2017Inventors: Richard Winslow Sharp, III, Oliver B. Downs, Jesse S. Hersch, Courosh Mehanian

Patent number: 9509841Abstract: A telephony system is presented that enables a phone to access a directory and use the directory in conjunction with other phone functions. The system includes a server with a telephony management software (TMS) unit, a telephony application programming interface (TAPI) unit, and an application unit. The application unit includes a control module, a function module, a filter module, a presentation module, a phone interface module, and a storage interface module. A server sends a signal to a phone regarding the contents of a directory. A server also enables a user to navigate through the directory, filter the directory, and perform call functions on phone numbers associated with directory entries.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Shortel, Inc.Inventors: Michael S. W. Tovino, Richard A. Winslow, Glen K. Okita

Patent number: 8948359Abstract: A telephony system is presented that enables one user to monitor another user's extension and perform functions on calls destined for the other user's extension. The system includes a server with a telephony management software (TMS) unit, a telephony application programming interface (TAPI) unit, and an application unit. The application unit includes a control module, association module, presentation module, park module, monitoring device interface module, and storage interface module. A server sends information to a monitoring device regarding the status of a monitored extension and calls offering on that extension. A server also enables a user to navigate through multiple calls offering and park a selected call.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2013Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: ShoreTel, Inc.Inventors: Michael S.

Publication number: 20070214138Abstract: An address matching system that maintains a central database of valid addresses has been designed. According to the invention, address matching requests are received by the system from a plurality of remote users located at respective machines (“clients”). Those requests are processed at the central system, and the results are returned to the client that made the request. In addition, novel techniques are implemented for improving the likelihood of obtaining one or more matches from a request.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2007Publication date: September 13, 2007Applicant: STAMPS.COMInventor: Richard Winslow
