  • Patent number: 10847021
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for a media controller configured to associate data from a media device received using a media device interface with actions on the media devices. The associated data and actions may be used to build a media device interface command map. The media device interface command map may be used by the media controller to control the media device. A user interface provided by the media controller may thus be used to control disparate devices, allowing for a coordinated and consistent user experience across multiple media devices, even when they are from different manufacturers.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7835886
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring performance of a wireless network are disclosed. According to one described example, at least one probe is generated. In the example, the probe determines the portion of a wireless network to monitor, the type of the probe, and the number and frequency of the probe or probes to target a specific carrier, a specific system, or a specific geographical area. A probe server generates the probe based on a parameter specified by the user and transmits the probe to a plurality of posts or to the wireless network. In the example, the probe server controls the posts to send and receive probes to the wireless network. In response to the received probes, the wireless network responds by sending feedback information, which can be used to indicate how the wireless network is performing.

  • Patent number: 6807515
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for monitoring performance of a wireless network. A probe server controls posts to send and receive probes of the wireless network. Wireless devices at the posts send the probes to the wireless network and receive probes from the wireless network. These probes provide feedback information, which indicates how the wireless network is performing.
