Patent number: 9674106Abstract: A method and system for establishing a helpdesk session between a subscriber device and a customer support representative (CSR) device following a request for a helpdesk session. The system issuing, on receipt of said request, a credential pair comprising subscriber credentials for a subscriber device and CSR credentials for a CSR device which is paired with the subscriber device. The subscriber credentials are transferred to the subscriber device and the CSR credentials are transferred to the CSR device. The subscriber and CSR credentials are then transferred to a core node for authentication. If the credentials are authentic the helpdesk session between the paired subscriber device and the CSR device is established.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2013Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: RealVNC LtdInventors: Nicolas David Reeves, Christopher Michael Goldsmith, Antony Clive Mann, Philip John Richards, Thomas Henry Lynn, Katarzyna Maria Czeczot

Patent number: 9167368Abstract: In one example, information is presented to a user through an electronic device in a non-visual manner. In this example, an informational event is received. Next, a determination is made if the informational event has been previously associated with a binaural sound sequence, the binaural sound sequence includes a user's nominal ear spacing for sound localization in a 3D space. The binaural sound sequence is presented to a multimedia port, in response to a binaural sound sequence being previously associated with the event. The localization in the 3D space using a binaural sound can be associated with importance, future times, source of information associated with the event, a person associated with the event, or a combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2011Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Janice Leigh De Jong, Jerome Pasquero, Jason Tyler Griffin, Scott David Reeve
