Patent number: 10348777Abstract: A multi-channel, two-way video chat mirroring communication system capable of mirroring disparate video clients at a central coordinator terminal into a two-way video and audio conversation with one another. The central coordinator mirroring terminal system is functionally placed in the middle between a provider video chat user device, and a patient's video chat user device. The central coordinator mirroring terminal manages an individual video and audio link with a provider's video chat user device using the provider's preferred communication technology, and another individual video and audio link with the patient's video chat user device that uses its own preferred communication technology, which may or may not be the same as that of the provider's video chat user device. Because the video-mirroring system manages those individual video and audio streams, it produces a seamless experience for both the provider's video chat user device and the patient's video chat user device.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2016Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Inventor: Chris Knotts

Patent number: 8682362Abstract: A phone number only messaging experience is provided in an Inter-Carrier Messaging System service. Subscriber to subscriber digital messages containing user data are routed between carrier's networks using an Inter-Carrier messaging module with appropriate MIN/carrier/carrier routing look-up capabilities. Digital messages containing user data (e.g., short messages, email, digital messages in general, etc.) may be sent to a subscriber in another carrier's network addressed only with a phone number. If the recipient is outside of the sender's carrier network, the Inter-Carrier messaging module of the Inter-Carrier service provider (ICSP) determines the appropriate carrier for the recipient, appends the appropriate syntax to the digital message containing user data to allow internet protocol (IP) or other standardized communication techniques between message service centers of the two carriers, and routes the digital message containing user data to the destination carrier.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2011Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: TeleCommunication Systems, Inc.Inventor: Chris Knotts
