Publication number: 20240013182Abstract: A user conducts a wireless payment transaction with a merchant system by transmitting payment information from a user device to a terminal reader without accessing a secure element resident on the user device. A user taps a user device in a merchant system's terminal reader's radio frequency field. The terminal reader and the user device establish a communication channel and the terminal reader transmits a signal comprising a request for a payment processing response. The signal is received by the user device and converted by a controller to a request understandable by an application host processor. The controller transmits the request to the application host processor, where the request is processed, and a response is transmitted to the controller and then to the terminal reader. The response generated by the application host processor is identifiable by the merchant system as a payment response.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventor: Sarel Kobus Jooste

Patent number: 10581814Abstract: A re-programmable wireless device can store data securely and use near field communication (NFC) to exchange functionality data and/or program code from a central server system through a mobile device. A user requests a new re-programmable wireless device or a new re-programmable wireless device function via an application on the mobile device. The central server system transmits program code and a public key used to identify the re-programmable wireless device to the mobile device, which functions as a pass-through conduit for the information, storing it until the devices are synced. A NFC communication channel is created, and the mobile device authenticates the re-programmable wireless device by cross-referencing the public key received from the central server system with the public key transmitted by the re-programmable wireless device once the communication channel is established.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2016Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Sarel Kobus Jooste, Shane Farmer, Ismail Cem Paya

Patent number: 10368811Abstract: Methods for characterizing a circadian rhythm of a wearer of a wearable device are provided. In one example, physiometric measurements are obtained over a period of time by one or more sensors of a wearable device configured to be mounted to a body surface of a wearer. A circadian rhythm of the wearer, such as a sleeping, waking, eating or movement pattern, is characterized based on the physiometric measurements. Based on the identified circadian rhythm, one or more settings of the wearable device, such as a timing or frequency of obtaining physiometric measurements, may be adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2018Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Vikram Singh Bajaj, Sarel Kobus Jooste

Patent number: 10353718Abstract: Techniques for remote application access are described. Some embodiments provide access to an application executing on a host system via a Web browser of a client device. A user operating the Web browser may request access to the application via a uniform resource identifier. A service executing on the host system receives the request and facilitates access to the application. Facilitating access may include transmitting to the Web browser image data corresponding to a window or graphical user interface generated by the application and stored on the host system. Client logic executing within the Web browser receives the image data and displays a local copy of the application window on the client device. The client logic also forwards user input events made with respect to the to the local window to the remote presentation service, which in turn forwards the events to the window/application on the host system.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2012Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Andrew Kimpton, Jonathan Clark, Sarel Kobus Jooste

Publication number: 20190171636Abstract: A computerized method and system to communicate information between a supported client computer and a remote support organization have been described. At the supported client computer, status information, generated by one or more client applications when executing on the supported client computer, may be retrieved. The status information may be stored in a client database on the supported client computer. A first client database definition for a client data item may be mapped to a first tag, the first client database definition may be associated with the client database and the client data item may include the status information. A client message document including the first tag may be communicated to a support server of the remote support organization. The status information may be stored in, and retrieved from, the client database via a functional abstraction layer comprising one or more customized application program interfaces (API).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2019Publication date: June 6, 2019Applicant: Dell Products L.P.Inventor: Sarel Kobus Jooste

Patent number: 10271770Abstract: A technique for measuring and collecting human tremor data includes measuring motions of a handheld tool manipulated by a user while performing a task with the handheld tool. The motions are measured using an inertial measurement unit (“IMU”) disposed within a handle of the handheld tool. Motion data of the motions is recorded to a motion log stored within a memory unit of the handheld tool. The motion data contains information for determining a severity of tremors that occurred while the user performed the task with the handheld tool. The motion log is communicated to a remote server for analysis.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2015Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Anupam J.

Patent number: 10252140Abstract: A wearable device described herein includes a housing and a mount configured to mount the housing to an external surface of a wearer. The wearable device further includes one or more sensors configured to measure at least one physiological parameter of the wearer. The wearable device may obtain an activity metric that is based on at least one physiological parameter of the wearer measured by the one or more sensors and demographical data specific to the wearer. In some examples, the wearable may be configured to calculate the activity metric or a preliminary activity metric and to indicate the activity metric and/or preliminary activity metric to the wearer. In some examples, the wearable device may transmit the physiological parameter measurement to an external device and receive an indication of the activity metric from the external device.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2018Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Sarel Kobus Jooste, David Andrew Gibson, Mark Murphy
