  • Patent number: 11736537
    Abstract: A user terminal emulation server maintains a database identifying network addresses, UI capabilities, and communication protocols of I/O user devices. Communication sessions are established between a user terminal emulation application and a network entity and I/O user devices proximately located to a user and provide a combined I/O user interface. Delay profiles are determined between the application and the I/O user devices. A downlink flow from the network entity is split into a plurality of downlink flow components assigned to the I/O user devices. For each of the downlink flow components, the server formats the component for transmission to the assigned I/O user device, initiates transmission of the formatted downlink flow component to the assigned I/O user device, and controls timing for when the formatted downlink flow component is transmitted to the assigned I/O user device based on the delay profile associated with the assigned I/O user device.

  • Publication number: 20230239655
    Abstract: A geofencing system (310) that does not rely on a GNSS or other like system. The geofencing system comprises a group of two or more fence-pole devices, FPDs, that define a geofenced area (399). Each FPD in the group is capable of making its own determination as to whether or not a certain communication device (377, 378) appears to be within the geofenced area. In one embodiment, if all of the FPDs have determined that the communication device appears to be within the geofenced area, then it is decided that the communication device is within the geofenced area. In another embodiment, if the group of FPDs consists of N FPDs and at least N?1 of the FPDs have determined that the communication device appears to be within the geofenced area, then it is decided that the communication device is within the geofenced area.

  • Patent number: 11606655
    Abstract: A mobile electronic device (device) operating with other devices form a group for wireless coordinated playout of audio media content. The processor performs operations that determine a common time sync shared with the other devices, and determine a timing of occurrence of a sound transient sensed relative to the common time sync. The operations receive timing reports from the other devices, where each of the timing reports indicates a timing of occurrence of the sound transient sensed at a respective one of the other devices relative to the common time sync. The sound transient sensed by the devices is generated at a preferred listening location. The operations coordinate timing of playout of audio media content by the group of devices responsive to comparison of the timing of occurrence of the sound transient sensed by the microphone of the device and the timing of occurrences indicated by the timing reports.
