  • Patent number: 11683086
    Abstract: A method, carried out by a processing device(s), is used for assisting in placing beams to cover a plurality of locations on Earth. The method comprises: grouping the plurality of locations into cliques by applying a clique problem resolution technique to an undirected graph whose vertices correspond to the plurality of locations and wherein two vertices of the undirected graph are connected by an edge if they correspond to two locations that are regarded as coverable by a single beam; assigning a beam to each of at least some of the cliques; and outputting parameters usable to control at least one beam source to form the assigned beams. The invention also relates to a system, computer program products, and a method and system for simulating a beam placement.

  • Publication number: 20220122073
    Abstract: Described herein are various embodiments of methods and systems for distributing temporary control of an asset. For example, a method can include receiving an indication of an execution of a transfer of temporary control between a granting entity and a receiving entity of a unit of an asset comprising a plurality of units. Transaction data comprising a duration of the temporary control of the unit can be received and recorded in a distributed ledger of a blockchain network. Logic and rules corresponding to conditions of transfer of the temporary control of the unit of the asset can be identified. The method can include receiving a granting entity authentication key and determining that whether the transaction data meet the logic and the rules of the conditions of transfer.

  • Patent number: 10757347
    Abstract: A client device receives video data and displays the video data via a display device. An overlay including content other than the video data is also displayed in a specific area of the display device and at least partially occludes the video data displayed within the specific area of the display device. The client device identifies coordinates of regions of interest within frames of the video data. When the client device determines that at least a threshold amount of a region of interest within the video data is displayed within the specific area of the display device, where the overlay is displayed, for at least a threshold amount of time, the client device increases a transparency of the overlay, repositions the overlay, of otherwise modifies the overlay to prevent the overlay from occluding the region of interest.

  • Patent number: 10516972
    Abstract: Access to location information related to mobile devices is disclosed. A component can receive a subscription request comprising an alternate identity corresponding to a primary identity and related to returning location related data associated with a set of network event locating system (NELOS) information. NELOS information can be received from a NELOS component and can be derived from timed fingerprint location (TFL) information associated with a user equipment (UE). TFL information and NELOS information can be distinct from location information determined from conventional techniques that can provide for additional benefit. The subscription request can indicate continuing access to location information without subsequent requests. Moreover, access can be via a push of information to a subscribing device.

  • Patent number: 10475020
    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media and devices for authorizing a pending payment transaction using mobile device roaming status information are disclosed. For example, a method includes a processor receiving an authorization to monitor the roaming status information of a mobile device, sending a request to a cellular service provider network to monitor the roaming status information of the mobile device, and receiving from the cellular service provider network a notification of the roaming status information of the mobile device. The method may further include the processor receiving a notification of a payment transaction of a payment device associated with a user of the mobile device at a payment location and sending an authorization to continue processing the pending payment transaction when the roaming status information indicates that a location of the mobile device corresponds to the payment location.
