  • Patent number: 10614470
    Abstract: Information associated with a geographic location is encoded, in a format readable by a mobile device including a GPS receiver, into a sideband channel of a first transmission medium. The information includes first partial global positioning system (GPS) coordinates, which are insufficient by themselves to completely identify the geographic location. The first partial GPS coordinates are transmitted via the sideband channel of the first transmission medium. Second partial GPS coordinates are transmitted to the mobile device via a second transmission medium. The first and second partial GPS coordinates are sufficient, when combined, to fully identify the geographic location.

  • Patent number: 10613827
    Abstract: A configuration receives, with a processor, a request for a voice-based, human-spoken language interpretation from a first human-spoken language to a second human-spoken language. Further, the configuration routes, with the processor, the request to a device associated with a remotely-located human interpreter. In addition, the configuration receives, with the processor, audio in the first human-spoken language from a telecommunication device. The configuration also augments, in real-time with the processor, the audio with one or more visual features corresponding to the audio. Further, the configuration sends, with the processor, the augmented audio to the device associated with the human interpreter for the voice-based, human-spoken language interpretation to be based on the augmented audio in a simulated video remote interpretation session.

  • Patent number: 10614060
    Abstract: A device and method for using carry forward conflict resolution in a constant order schema for multimedia airplay scheduling. A reusable multimedia content set (e.g., music, news, other audio, advertising, etc.) can be combined with a secondary multimedia content set for playback of multimedia content to create a scheduling order. Conflicts in the scheduling order resulting from the combination can be resolved by exchanging slot positions in the reusable multimedia content set, which can then be reused for combination with subsequent secondary multimedia content sets while maintaining the previous conflict resolved scheduling order, thereby adhering to a substantially constant order for the multimedia content.
