Patent number: 10602321Abstract: A system for receiving multiple conversations or messages and for playing the multiple conversations or messages with a mobile device and wireless earpieces. The system may determine various presentation parameters based on various characteristics of the received messages and may play the messages such that audio appears at distinguishing locations around the user. The system may change how messages and/or conversations are played in response to recognize a change in the focus of the user based on detected user inputs, such as body movement gestures.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2019Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Brian F. Miller, Adam E. Newham, Jose Menendez, Rohit Sauhta

Patent number: 9173074Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for transmitting convenient messages to a recipient for rendering based on the recipient's device availabilities. A recipient's mobile device may be connected to a personal hub and/or earpiece devices configured to render various incoming communications, such as audio messages and visual messages. The incoming messages may be delivered to the recipient's mobile device and other connected devices that may render the contents of the incoming messages. A delivery confirmation message that describes the receipt and use of incoming messages may be generated and returned to a sender's computing device. In an embodiment, the recipient's devices may generate status information for describing the status of devices to a sender's computing device.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2012Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Brian F. Miller, Jose Menendez, Rohit Sauhta

Patent number: 9088406Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices synchronize data streams by hashing received data frames to generate a sequence of hash values, comparing the generated hash value sequence to a hash value sequence received in a control stream, and processing data frames when the hash value sequences match. A source device and multiple receiver devices may synchronize audio data encoded in data frames, applying a hash function to each data frame to generate a first sequence of hash values, transmitting the data frames on a first channel and the first sequence of hash values on a control channel, receiving the data frames and the first sequence of hash values in the receiver devices, applying the hash algorithm to received data frames to generate a second sequence of hash values, comparing the first and second sequences of hash values, and processing data frames when the first and second sequences of hash values match.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2012Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Adam E. Newham, Joel Benjamin Linsky, Rohit Sauhta, Brian F. Miller, Kevin Wayne Bartig
