Patent number: 11418703Abstract: Electronic equipment includes a first operating member having a detecting unit to detect touch and slide operations. Where a detecting unit touch detecting face is touched in the touch operation over a first and a second predetermined area, larger than the first predetermined area, or less, a first function is executed. Where the touch detecting face of the detecting unit is touched in the touch operation over more than the second predetermined area, a second function is executed. The touch detecting face is divided into a first, a second, and a third touch detecting face, in that order in a direction of the slide operation. A relation of 1.4?W1/W2?6.0 is satisfied. W1 represents a length of the touch detecting face in the direction of the slide operation, and W2 represents a length of the second touch detecting face in the direction of the slide operation.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takahiro Akimoto, Jun Kamiya, Haruhisa Ueda, Takuma Iwagami

Patent number: 11402800Abstract: A system includes a plurality of optical identifiers and a reader for the optical identifiers. Each optical identifier has an optical substrate and a volume hologram (e.g., with unique data, such as a code page) in the optical substrate. The reader for the optical identifiers includes a laser, and a camera. The laser is configured to direct laser light into a selected one of the optical identifiers that has been placed into the reader to produce an image of the associated volume holograms at the camera. The camera is configured to capture the image. The captured image may be stored in a digital format by the system.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Inventor: Charles Northrup

Patent number: 11403719Abstract: A system or method may implement an overdraft prediction analysis to predict whether an account overdraft is about to occur. The overdraft prediction analysis may be based on: 1. customer account data, such as current account balance, historical balances, historical withdrawals, historical deposits balance trends, and the like; 2. account transaction data, such as routine or recurring account transactions, timing of transactions, amount, deposit or withdrawal transactions, and the like; 3. location data, such as locations of past purchases or payments; and 4. time and date data, such as dates and times of past transactions. Other factors, such as credit score, loan activities, social data, or the like also may be used for the overdraft prediction analysis. Once an overdraft situation is predicted, the system or method may provide options for the users to avoid or mitigate the potential account overdraft.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2021Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventor: Vishal Maheshwari

Patent number: 11403472Abstract: The apparatus comprises: a pair of panel portions; a hinge portion defining an axis from which each of the panel portions extends, the hinge portion being coupled to each of the panel portions and adapted to permit pivotal movement of the panel portions relative to one another about the axis between a closed position wherein the panels overlay one another one another and an open position wherein the panels extend away from one another; a near field communication tag coupled to one of the panel portions; and a shield defined by RF blocking material coupled to the other of the panel portions. The tag and shield are positioned and adapted such that: the tag can be activated by the reader when the panels are in the open position; and the shield isolates the tag from the reader when the panels are in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Inventor: Edgar Davin Salatandre

Patent number: 11397976Abstract: Durable memento method that enables the storage of data associated with mementos, which are objects that serve to provide a reminder of a person, place, thing, or an event. Embodiments are configured to store and recall data including but not limited to pictures, movies, sounds, text, or other information such as performance data indirectly associated with a memento such as but not limited to a keepsake, souvenir, gift, gift card, medal or award, tool or any combination thereof. One or more embodiments may include a visual and/or machine-readable and/or human-readable code to associate the data with the memento. The durable data may be stored remote from the memento, which prevents obsolescence by securing data robustly. This enables the data to be accessed years later even if the file formats or display technology for the data has changed by that time and even if the original memento has been lost.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2019Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: DURAGIFT, LLCInventors: Mark DeLuca, Spencer Webb
