  • Patent number: 11706265
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for a wireless device for use with a first video conference device, a second video conference device, WAN and an item. The video conference devices are configured to establish a video conference over a secure communication channel over the WAN. The first video conference device is additionally configured to transmit a video conference invitation in response to a video conference request from the wireless device, the video conference invitation including credentials to establish a communication channel with the first video conference device. The second video conference device is additionally configured to transmit a magnification control signal. The wireless device is configured to: image the item in a first magnification; transmit first image data of the item based on the first magnification; change the magnification; image the item in a second magnification; and transmit second image data of the item based on the second magnification.

  • Publication number: 20220400530
    Abstract: A network device comprises a memory, a radio system, a control line, and a processor. The radio system can be controllably configured to operate in a first channel state or a second channel state. The first channel state enables transmission of first client device reception data on a first channel and reception of first client device transmission data on the first channel. The second channel state enables transmission of second client device reception data on a second channel and reception of second client device transmission data on the second channel. The control line is arranged to provide a control signal to the radio system so as to place the radio system in either the first channel state or the second channel state.

  • Publication number: 20220400399
    Abstract: A network device having a memory, a radio system, a control line, and a processor. The radio system can operate in a first channel state or a second channel state. The first channel state enables transmission of first client device reception data on a first channel, reception of first client device transmission data on the first channel, and reception of second client device transmission data on a second channel. The second channel state enables transmission of second client device reception data on the second channel, reception of second client device transmission data on the second channel, and reception of first client device transmission data on the first channel. The processor determines a portion of time for which the radio system should be configured to operate in the first channel state.

  • Publication number: 20220270473
    Abstract: A client device for use with a network device, a customer premises device, a remote control device, and an external network, the network device being configured to communicate with the external network and transmit a reconfiguration instruction to the remote control device. The client device includes a memory and a processor configured to execute instructions stored on the memory to cause the client device to receive a user input signal associated with a reconfiguration of the customer premises device. The client device may also transmit a reconfiguration instruction to the network device via the external network so as to cause the network device to transmit the reconfiguration instruction to the remote control device. The remote control device may then transmit the control signal to the customer premises device based on the reconfiguration instruction to cause the customer premises device to reconfigure based on the control signal.

  • Publication number: 20220159079
    Abstract: A smart assistant control interface for verifying security and privacy in a multiple smart assistant environment. The smart assistant control interface is presented on a display device of the network device. The smart assistant control interface allows a user to enter rules for managing Internet access through a gateway device by one or more smart assistant. The rules are sent to the gateway device. A request for Internet access status of one or more smart assistant devices is provided to the gateway device from the smart assistant control interface. The Internet access status of the one or more smart assistant devices is received from the gateway device and presented on the display device.
