Patent number: 8504640Abstract: A method of providing three dimensional (3D) information is disclosed in which a master recruits a local slave to provide contemporaneous images. The images are collected and 3D information extracted therefrom. The 3D information or various images may be transmitted to a remote device and is employed to provide a substitute background that replaces the background of the original image. Either the new image is displayed on one or both devices. The images can be collected and the 3D information extracted at either of the master or slave or at a separate device. To recruit the slave, the master broadcasts a query to all local devices, determines the available devices and their characteristics, automatically or manually selects a particular device, requests authorization from the selected device, and pairs with the selected device when authorization is received. Devices of the same or different types may be paired.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2009Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Motorola Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Edward Rios, Terance B. Blake, Gregory J. Dunn, Boaz J. Super

Patent number: 8175651Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for receiving, by a telephone device, data of an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) menu tree that is made available to the telephone device by a server of a remote database, or in the alternative, is made dynamically available to the telephone device. In an embodiment, an IVR menu tree may include menu tags according to a menu description protocol and may be delivered as the IVR menu tree is updated so that the telephone device receives an up-to-date menu tree automatically. The received IVR menu tree may be visually output to the display screen of the telephone device. Accordingly, the received IVR menu tree can be visual menu output rendered as a menu tree display and configured to be navigable on the display screen by a user input device, such as a joy stick or key pad.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2007Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Motorola Mobility, Inc.Inventors: Edward Rios, Pilapakam B. Ramji, Francis P. Bourque

Patent number: 7493773Abstract: A system for monitoring the amount of refrigerant supplied from a refrigerant tank to a plurality of refrigerant systems comprising a tank valve for connection to a refrigerant tank at a predetermined location. A rack of refrigerant rack lines is routed from the location to the refrigerant systems for connecting the tank valve and refrigerant to the refrigerant systems. Rack valves are disposed in the refrigerant rack lines for controlling the flow of refrigerant through the rack lines to a selected refrigerant system. A sensor for determining the amount of refrigerant supplied from the refrigerant tank to a refrigerant system and recording the supplied amount of refrigerant. The system controller controls the rack valves and tank valve to selectively connect the supply of refrigerant in the refrigerating tank with a selected refrigerant system so that the amount of refrigerant delivered to the refrigerant system is recorded by the system controller.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2005Date of Patent: February 24, 2009Assignee: Emerson Retail Services, Inc.Inventors: John Bryan Beatenbough, Edward Rios, Ryan Edward Haley

Publication number: 20080020803Abstract: Disclosed are methods and mobile communication devices having a plurality of functionalities in normal mode wherein at least one of the functionalities is limited in a restricted mode. In one embodiment a method includes the device receiving a signal to display a prompt to select from the plurality of functionalities to limit at least one of the functionalities while in the restricted mode. Selection of functions to limit or enable is described. The method further includes entering the restricted mode so that at least one of the plurality of functionalities is limited, and operating the device in the restricted mode. Restricted mode can include limiting access to the contacts list, the keypad functionality, games, voice calls, and the on/off switch. Also described is exiting restricted mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2006Publication date: January 24, 2008Applicant: MOTOROLA, INC.Inventors: EDWARD RIOS, MICHAEL D. HARENG
