Patents by Inventor Carl D. Ceresoli

Carl D. Ceresoli has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7359687
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, method and computer program product to obtain comprehensive vehicle radio listener statistics based on parameters such as radio status (e.g., on/off status and CD/Tape/AM/FM setting), radio volume, station preset information, current frequency setting (i.e., station identification), and Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) system coordinates is disclosed. A vehicle-mounted field unit for collecting and transmitting such parameters to a base station is also disclosed. The system monitors and stores all events related to the occupants' interaction with the vehicle's radio, including automatic detection of the selected radio station through a speaker port. The stored data is then transmitted to a base station's central collection computer for immediate compilation and analysis.

  • Patent number: 6947703
    Abstract: The system for determining satellite radio listener statistics obtains comprehensive satellite radio listener statistics based on parameters such as satellite radio status (e.g., on/off status), satellite radio volume, satellite radio station preset information, current satellite radio station, and Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) system coordinates. The system for determining satellite radio listener statistics includes a satellite radio data device that monitors and stores all events related to the listener's interaction with the satellite radio, including automatic detection of the selected radio station through a connection to a satellite radio. The stored data is then transmitted to a central station's server for immediate storage, compilation and analysis.
