  • Patent number: 10025797
    Abstract: A non-conventional method and system used with computerized ledgers provides advantages of computing efficiencies, data security, and universal use. The system, method, and computer readable storage medium for storing, creating, monitoring, managing, and modifying measurement, descriptive differences, and parameters of the records of distributed computerized ledgers works through a separation and linkage of stacked modular data storage and processing. Electronic transaction records reside on distributed ledgers and modifying measurement and descriptive differences reside in decentralized or centralized storage, where computers and related networks are improved with increased functionality through increased transaction speeds, decreased data transmissions, increased security, and improved modifiable functionality. The separation of parallel layered storage and modularity of design enable the system to perform a wide range of functionality while maintaining homogeneity with the distributed computerized ledger.

  • Patent number: 10018977
    Abstract: In one embodiment, history-based key phrase suggestions are provided for voice control of a home automation system. A host controller builds a history database that maintains a history of events, each event indicating one or more services activated, one or more scenes activated or one or more types of media content presented by the home automation system. A predictions process on the host controller selects a subset of the events of the history database based on a present condition of the home automation system to produce a predication dataset. A grammar process on a remote control or mobile device selects one or more intentions from a list used by a voice recognition engine, based on the prediction dataset. Each intention includes a key phrase paired with an action. A voice user interface (UI) process suggests key phrases from the one or more selected intentions in a voice control UI on the remote control or mobile device.

  • Patent number: 10020901
    Abstract: An approach for inter-gateway interference estimation and admission control is provided. A gateway receives return link signals, each being received via a satellite from a respective user terminal (UT) located within a satellite beam serviced by the gateway. A transmit power factor and an interference factor are determined for each UT based on the respective return link signal. A total interference factor is determined for the UTs based on the transmit power factors and the interference factors. A residual capacity level for the satellite beam is determined based on the total interference factor and a noise power factor. The gateway receives an admission request from a further UT requesting admission for transmission of a return link signal. The gateway determines whether to grant the admission request based on a required capacity level for the return link signal of the further UT relative to the residual capacity level.
