  • Publication number: 20210294675
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for remotely saving console output messages. The devices and methods may generate console output messages for an application running on the game device. The devices and method may redirect the console output messages from presenting on the console to a console message queue and generate a single console telemetry event in response to a trigger event. The console telemetry event may capture a plurality of the console output messages in the console message queue. The device and methods send the console telemetry event for remote storage. In addition, the devices and methods may use a remote program console to access or otherwise view the stored console telemetry events. The remote program console may be used to filter or search the stored console telemetry events.

  • Patent number: 7519375
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for managing notification of residents of a controlled-environment facility of pending messages awaiting retrieval by such residents. In one embodiment, a messaging system is provided in which a party external to the controlled-environment facility may record a message intended for a resident of the controlled-environment facility. A notification controller receives notification of the pending message for the resident and determines an appropriate communication device to use for notifying the resident of the pending message. In certain embodiments, a wireless location tracking system, such as a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system, is employed to determine a communication device that is in the vicinity of the resident, wherein the notification controller directs notification of the pending message to the determined communication device.
