Patent number: 10810732Abstract: In various implementations, a condition of one or more screens of a device may be determined. A user may select a return application that facilitates capturing image(s) of device screen(s). A user may capture images of a screen of using a camera of the same device or another device. In some implementations, the user may position the device proximate a mirror such that the device can capture an image of one or more screens of the device. The captured image(s) may be processed and/or analyzed to determine if the screen of the device is damaged. In some implementations, notifications based on the condition of the device screen(s) may be transmitted. A price for the device may be determined, in some implementations based on the condition of the screen.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2019Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Hyla, Inc.Inventors: Rajiv Kumar Dwivedi, Christopher Heistad, Bikramjit Singh, Karl Felix Medina, Ram Mohan Reddy, Jonathan Brian Chinn, Rebekah Jane Griffiths, Satish G.

Patent number: 8826410Abstract: There is provided a device application programming interface (API) for securely monitoring and managing mobile broadband devices. There is provided a client device with a processor configured to detect, using an API, the WWAN device, wherein the WWAN device conforms to the API, to perform a mutual authentication with the WWAN device by using a digital certificate of the WWAN device and a client digital certificate of the client device, to establish a secure connection with the WWAN device upon a successful authentication of the mutual authentication with the WWAN device. Moreover, the processor may be configured to issue, using the API, various commands to the WWAN device to monitor and manage the WWAN device.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2011Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Smith Micro Software, Inc.Inventors: David Sperling, Kevin Warmerdam, Dzung Tran, Christopher Heistad
