  • Patent number: 11595793
    Abstract: Wireless mobile device functionality can be added to radio devices via a hardware device that comprises wireless network access. Alternatively, radio device functionality can be shared with a wireless mobile device or the hardware device. The functionalities of either device can be shared via a physical or wireless connection. For example, a microphone device comprising a display screen and long-term evolution (LTE) functionality can be connected to a radio device to facilitate LTE functionality for the radio device. Thus, a user of the radio device can utilize the display screen of the microphone device to send text data, which could not previously be sent by the radio device, over the wireless network via the microphone device.

  • Patent number: 10129714
    Abstract: A gateway device is enabled to initiate sending of push notifications to an associated device. The push notifications can be sent even when a gateway device related application is not running on the device. The push notifications can also be sent to the device whenever it has internet connectivity, even if the internet connectivity is not being provided by the gateway device hotspot. In an embodiment, a mobile access gateway system can receive a notification from the gateway device that is directed to another device. The mobile access gateway system can determine whether or not the gateway device and the other device are related to each other and then instruct a push notification server to send the device a push notification.

  • Publication number: 20060163338
    Abstract: A supply chain (or other process) visibility solution is disclosed that combines RFID technology with a data visibility architecture to provide real-time or near real-time supply chain information at various stages of the supply chain (or other process). The system uses a data gathering architecture which collects data from multiple sources about an object. The sources of data include RFID tags, scanners and manual input. The data from the RFID tags is used to correlate the gathered data to attributes associated with the object (e.g., name, description or price). The gathered data and attributes are stored in a data store according to a customizable schema and published for consumption by one or more business processes.
