  • Publication number: 20170034691
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the subscriber identity module (SIM) access profile (SAP) over Bluetooth. In one embodiment, intermediate responses from a SIM card containing procedure bytes are not transmitted to the client, but rather the appropriate response is generated by the server and sent to the SIM card. In another embodiment, the client groups together multiple command APDUs (Application Protocol Data Unit) into one message before sending out to the server, and the message may also contain parameters indicating various actions to be taken by the server in case an error is generated. In another embodiment, the client instructs the server to perform poling of the SIM card in an autonomous manner for any proactive data. Embodiments are not limited to a SIM card, and are applicable to other types of smart cards, such as an UICC (Universal Integrated Circuit Card).

  • Patent number: 9531693
    Abstract: In an approach for providing auditable retrieval of privileged credentials in a privilege identity management (PIM) system, a processor invokes a checkout of a PIM credential, based on, at least, a determination that a PIM server cannot be accessed. A processor receives a request to access the PIM credential by a user. A processor receives validation of the request to access the PIM credential and an identity of the user. A processor retrieves the PIM credential from a database, wherein the database stores a plurality of PIM credentials owned by a system owner.

  • Patent number: 9420063
    Abstract: The method and system relate to prioritizing access and shaping traffic to the SIM such that the requests to the SIM that pertain to registering the wireless mobile device on a network are given a higher priority than other requests to the SIM. The higher priority requests that relate to registering the mobile device on a network may be processed by the SIM prior to at least one other request that is not related to registering the mobile device on the network.

    Abstract: Providing video-on-demand (VOD) content to a subscriber may be disclosed. First, a request for a VOD session may be received from a companion device. Next, in response to the received request for the VOD session, a catalog of VOD content may be sent to the companion device. A selection of VOD content listed in the catalog of VOD content may then be received. A digital transport adaptor (DTA) corresponding to the received request for the VOD session may be identified. Next, the VOD session may be setup with the identified DTA and the selected VOD content may be streamed to the identified DTA.

  • Publication number: 20160157755
    Abstract: A patient handling device includes a frame for supporting a patient, a controller, and two alert lights which are activated when a controller detects an alert situation, such as, but not limited to, a patient exiting from the patient handling device. The controller is in communication with the alert lights and operable to monitor an integrated bed exit system. The alert lights are positioned adjacent the foot end corners of the frame and are viewable by a user positioned anywhere within a 270 degree section of a circle defined at the center of the patient handling device. The alert lights include one or more Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).

  • Publication number: 20160088467
    Abstract: A method for multi-Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) operation on a mobile communication device includes: activating, in a first mobile communication device having a local SIM profile, a client module configured to obtain SIM profile information from a SIM profile of a second mobile communication device; sending a short range communication (SRC) signal to the second mobile communication device causing the second mobile communication device to activate a server module configured to share the SIM profile information of the SIM profile for the second mobile communication device with the first communication device; remotely accessing the shared SIM profile information of the shared SIM profile by the first mobile communication device; and operating the first mobile communication device in a multi-SIM mode using SIM profile information of the local SIM profile and the shared SIM profile information.

  • Patent number: 8689376
    Abstract: A patient handling device includes a controller, with a plurality of sensors, control panels, and lamps electrically connected to the controller. The patient handling device records the normal/desired state of the various components when power is applied. When one of the components goes outside the normal/desired state, the controller issues an alarm. This alarm includes illuminating a plurality of amber alert lamps which can normally be viewed by a user at any position around the outside of the patient handling device. The patient handling device also includes a position control. This control restricts movement of an upper (fowler) portion of the patient handling device in a certain range of angular positions, while permitting movement of the upper portion outside the certain range.

  • Patent number: 8649773
    Abstract: Media content communication may be provided. First, an incoming communication may be received at a subscriber device. A determination whether multimedia content is associated with the incoming communication may then be made. The multimedia content may be associated with, for example, a caller, and may be played back as a video tone indicating a communication originating from the caller. The multimedia content may also be delivered with the incoming communication, retrieved by the subscriber device, and played back upon acceptance of the incoming communication or stored for later retrieval upon denial of the incoming communication.
