Publication number: 20180039400Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer executable instructions that, when executed, cause a computing device to execute operations comprising transitioning a displayed user interface presented on a display of the computing device from a first control mode for controlling a moveable device, to a second control mode for controlling the moveable device is presented. The user interface comprises a control mode selector and a functionality limitation setting mechanism. The control mode selector is configured to display a plurality of control mode selector icons, each corresponding to one of a plurality of control modes. The plurality of control mode selector icons includes a first control mode selector icon, corresponding to the first control mode, and a second control mode selector icon, corresponding to the second control mode. The control mode selector is configured to receive a user input selection of the second control mode selector icon.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2017Publication date: February 8, 2018Applicant: ROBOTZONE, LLCInventors: Brian T.

Patent number: 9390617Abstract: Variable autonomy level control systems are provided. A control system illustratively include an analog communications support component, a digital communications support component, a processing component, and a motor controller. The processing component synthesizes inputs received from the analog and the digital communications support components to generate an output. The motor controller utilizes the output from the processing component to generate a control signal for a motor. In certain embodiments, the input from the digital communications support component includes an indication of an autonomy level, and the processing component synthesizes the inputs by applying the autonomy level to the input received from the analog communications support component.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2011Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: RobotZone, LLCInventors: Brian T.

Publication number: 20150121185Abstract: A method for displaying a graphical representation of a classification of a set of patent applications into a plurality of categories according to an attribute includes receiving, by a processor, a request to generate the graphical representation of the classification of the set of patent applications into the plurality of categories according to the attribute. The method further includes, in response to receiving the request, automatically displaying the graphical representation of the classification of the set of patent applications into the plurality of categories according to the attribute on a display device. The graphical representation includes a plurality of patent document icons. Each of the plurality of patent document icons corresponds to one of the set of patent applications. Each of the plurality of patent document icons graphically represents that the patent application associated with the patent document icon is classified in a category of the plurality of categories.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2014Publication date: April 30, 2015Applicant: Reed Technology and Information Services, Inc.Inventors: Christopher L.
