  • Patent number: 11659016
    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to wireless data transmission. An example method for transmitting a data file from a base station to multiple Internet of Things (IoT) devices includes obtaining information on connections between the base station and IoT devices as well as device-to-device connections. The method also includes generating schemes for splitting the data file and transmitting each data portion accordingly. The method optionally includes obtaining updates on connection information and adjusting the data splitting schemes based thereon.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 13, 2021
    Date of Patent: May 23, 2023

  • Patent number: 9801112
    Abstract: A system includes a media content processing device programmed to wirelessly communicate with an access point over a plurality of wireless communication channels. The communication channels include a first communication channel and a second communication channel. The media content processing device is programmed to receive a media content signal from the access point over the first communication channel, process the media content signal, and generate an authorization signal for the access point to transmit the media content signal over the second communication channel in response to detecting issues with the media content signal.

  • Publication number: 20130093962
    Abstract: Methods and systems for pairing remote controls to video or audio components are provided. The remote control, for example, may include, but is not limited to, an ultrasound receiver and a controller coupled to the ultrasound receiver. The controller may be configured to receive an ultrasound signal from the ultrasound receiver, extract pairing data from the ultrasound signal, and configure the remote control based upon the pairing data.
