  • Patent number: 8200206
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process to control any mobile device through a protocol stack for sending Ad Alerts and performing Virtual Mobile Management. The client application captures a snapshot that is encrypted and compressed into an XML format using delta compression algorithms. On the server, the xml file is then parsed, decrypted and decompressed and the corresponding values are stored in the database. Ad management/alert notification allows a user to create new Advertisements /Banners/Alerts. Advertisements may add an image to the background of the Ad; Changing the Text on the Ad; Create Special effects for the Text on the Ad; Customizing Font color and size. Advertisement may be sent instantaneously or at a later time for Alerts, Ads or banners without the need for browsing through the internet.

  • Patent number: 7809369
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an automated testing solution for PRL's, System Acquisition algorithm, and CDMA device performance. A testing plan loads a specific PRL into a test device, reads and categorizes the entries in the PRL file, and then uses the information to set the parameters on the emulation hardware needed for each test case. The testing solution allows an operator to specify the PRL file to be used for testing and the testing plan will determine the relationships between different PRL entries in the test file including the System of equal priority in the same GEO, System of lesser priority in the same GEO, System of higher priority in the same GEO, Systems in different GEO, and Collocated EVDO systems. Once the entries are categorized the test script will then select the entries need to create the required test conditions on the base station emulation hardware. The test suite employs base station emulation hardware to create the RF conditions stipulated in the test case.

  • Patent number: 5255306
    Abstract: A cellular-based electronic house arrest monitoring (EHAM) system (10) electronically monitors parolees, or other personnel, required to remain at a house arrest location (12) or to report in at the house arrest location during certain hours. Monitoring occurs automatically under control of a host computer (50) at a central monitoring location remote from the house arrest location, regardless of whether conventional telephone service is available at the house arrest location. Tamper detect circuitry detects any attempt to tamper with the components of the system. The EHAM system includes an electronic tag (14) worn by the person being monitored that periodically transmits a unique identifying (ID) signal (16). The ID signal is transmitted at low power, and is receivable only over a limited range, e.g., 150 feet. A field monitoring device (FMD) (20) placed within the house arrest location receives the ID signal only if the tag is within range of the receiver, i.e.

  • Patent number: 5189395
    Abstract: An electronic house arrest monitoring (EHAM) system allows a monitoring officer, charged with the responsibility of making periodic and/or random physical checks with individuals whose presence at specific locations is being electronically monitored through the EHAM system, to immediately and silently report to a central monitoring location that backup help or assistance is needed at the monitoring location. The EHAM system includes an in-house monitoring unit (IMU) installed at or positioned near specific monitoring locations, that electronically monitors the specific monitoring location for the presence of a unique identifying signal, periodically transmitted from an electronic tag worn by a monitored individual. Telecommunicative contact is periodically and/or randomly established between the central monitoring location and the IMU. The monitoring office carries a small pocket transmitter.

  • Patent number: 4857893
    Abstract: A transponder device receives a carrier signal from an interrogator unit. This carrier signal, of frequeny F, is rectified by a rectifying circuit in order to generate operating power. Logic/timing circuits derive a clock signal and second carrier signal of frequency F/n from the received carrier signal. This clock signal reads a unique identifying data word from a programmable read only memory (PROM). The data word is encoded and mixed with the carrier signal in a balanced modulator circuit. The output of the balanced modulator is transmitted to the interrogator unit where it is decoded and used as an identifying signal. The identifying signal identifies the particular transponder device from which it originated. The rectifier and balanced modulator circuits are realized from the same diode elements. All electrical circuits of the transponder device are realized on the same monolithic semiconductor chip.
