Patent number: 10104328Abstract: Various arrangements are described for ignoring inadvertent remote control key presses. A remote control may detect a first key press, the first key press being linked with a first command. The remote control may measure an orientation of the remote control with respect to a direction of gravity. The remote control may compare the measured orientation of the remote control with threshold orientation angles. The first command may be ignored based on comparing the measured orientation of the remote control with the threshold orientation angles.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2017Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: DISH Technologies L.L.C.Inventor: Alisson Friedrich

Patent number: 9578270Abstract: Various arrangements are described for ignoring inadvertent remote control key presses. A remote control may detect multiple key presses associated with various commands. It may be determined whether the first key press and the second key press have occurred within a predefined threshold time period. If the key presses occurred within the threshold time period, the first command and the second command may be ignored. Additional or alternate factors may be considered in determining whether one or more key presses of the remote control should be ignored.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: EchoStar Technologies, L.L.C.Inventor: Alisson Friedrich

Patent number: 9264512Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention may take the form of a method and a system for performance enhancing proxy (PEP). A PEP system may include a configuration of software components and hardware devices to increase the performance of a two-way satellite broadband service. The PEP system may include one or more embodiments to reduce the time necessary for users to transmit and receive data provided through a communication network.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2015Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: EchoStar Technologies L.L.C.Inventors: Tom Hansen, Alisson Friedrich, Kiruthika Selvamani, John Yakemovic, Thomas Steven Taylor

Patent number: 8285870Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for resolving domain name services (DNS) queries for address information about hosts on a network. The queries are posited from remote users across a satellite or other remote link to a network, and are monitored as they pass through a central node logically present between the remote link and the network. A list of statistically significant hosts on the network is maintained and transmitted from the central node to the plurality of remote users across the remote link. By providing the remote nodes with a current list of popular hosts and associated address information, subsequent domain name services queries placed for the statistically significant hosts may be resolved without communicating across the remote link.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2007Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: EchoStar Technologies L.L.C.Inventors: Thomas Steven Taylor, John Yakemovich, Alisson Friedrich, Tom Hansen, Kiruthika Selvamani

Patent number: 8055795Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for resolving domain name services (DNS) queries for address information about hosts on a network. The queries are posited from remote users across a satellite or other remote link to a network. In response to a domain name services request from the client containing a name of the server, a placeholder address is generated and provided in response to the client. After a subsequent request for a connection to the server is received, the name of the server is re-associated with the placeholder address and the connection request containing the proper host name is forwarded across the data link. A hub processor receives the request for connection, resolves the name of the server to an address on the network, and establishes a connection between the client and the server using the address on the network.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2007Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: EchoStar Technologies LLCInventors: Thomas Steven Taylor, John Yakemovich, Alisson Friedrich, Tom Hansen, Kiruthika Selvamani
