  • Voice IP bandwidth utilization
    Patent number: 6389038
    Abstract: A method and system for combining plural independently addressable packets into a SuperPacket to improve the utilization of a communications channel. The method and system reduce the percentage of the header information that is redundant between packets and/or redundant based on the source and destination addresses of the packets as compared to the data payload. The combined SuperPackets are disassembled at a terminating gateway or at a second multiplexer. The reduction in header information is especially useful in voice over IP communications systems where the data is voice information that is kept in small packets to avoid latency.

  • Memory structure for configuring a terminal device
    Patent number: 5651109
    Abstract: A terminal device, such as a computer, workstation or smart phone, incorporates a memory structure which simplifies and facilitates communications between a host computer and the terminal device. The host computer and the terminal device exchange application interface information via a communications protocol in which the host computer associates different types of objects with respective identifiers and then transmits an object type and its associated identifier to the terminal device. The terminal device, in turn, displays the object in a form determined solely by the terminal device but in accordance with respective predefined policies determined by the memory structure. If a user manipulates a displayed object type, then data representative of such manipulation is generated and transmitted with the associated object identifier to the host processor.

  • Communications protocol
    Patent number: 5649131
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a communications protocol which facilitates the exchange of interface information between a host processor and a terminal, such as a workstation, smart phone, portable computer, etc., by associating an object that is to be displayed on the terminal display with a particular identifier, and by associating input information entered in response to a user manipulating a displayed object with the associated object identifier, rather than the location of the displayed object. Accordingly, a host processor may specify relative rather than specific attributes for an object that is to be displayed on a terminal display, thereby leaving it up to the terminal to display an object in accord with its own capabilities.
