Patent number: 11765167Abstract: A secure mechanism for adding network devices uses an unsecure guest network and a secure network both coupled to a secure hub. When an unknown device is introduced, it is initially connected to the guest network and can only communicate with the hub and with a wide area network (WAN). The unknown device is prohibited from communicating with the secure network and any device connected to the secure network. The unknown device provides credentials to the hub, which are verified with a secure database, such as a blockchain ledger, that provides manufacturer device information and certification. Upon authentication, the hub permits the identified device to connect to the secure network. The hub may also configure the now identified device for security and operational parameters. The hub may also retrieve network traffic pattern information from the secure database and use such information to monitor normal expected activity from the identified device.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2022Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: ioXt, LLCInventors: Bradley Richard Ree, Gary Bernard Jabara

Patent number: 11430075Abstract: A beverage dispensing system employs a user-wearable device that contains identification data. The user is associated with the wearable device using the identification data and provides an initial purchase credit also stored in association with the wearable device. To make a purchase, the user positions the wearable device in proximity with a sensor co-located with a beverage dispenser. The sensor receives the identification data and provides it to a payment processor. The processor determines if the purchase request is less than the stored purchase credit and, if so, activates an actuator positioned between a beverage storage container and a beverage dispenser outlet to thereby dispense the beverage. The processor deducts the purchase amount from the available credit and stores the new credit value. The wearable device may communicate wirelessly with the sensor. The processor may be part of the beverage dispenser or remotely located and communicate via a network.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Chihuahua Brewing Company, LLCInventor: Gary Bernard Jabara

Patent number: 10909375Abstract: A mobile device captures an object image using the built in imaging capability of the device. A structural recognition module analyzes the captured image to identify the 3D shape of the captured object. A color recognition module analyzes the color of the captured image to differentiate between objects that may be similar in shape. The image analysis information is sent to a server and the server selects an appropriate video file for augmented reality (AR) display on the mobile device. User selection of an operational language for the mobile device may also provided to the server. The system includes audio data files in different languages corresponding to each video AR file. The server selects the audio file corresponding to the language selection data provided by the mobile device. The language appropriate audio file is linked to the video file and the video and audio AR data are transmitted to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: Mobilitie, LLCInventors: Gary Bernard Jabara, Harold Lee, Douglas Liang, George Pu-Yi Quan

Patent number: 10863234Abstract: Secure control of network appliances uses a central hub connected to a plurality of network appliances or multiple hubs in a short-range wireless mesh network. The central hub controls communication with the appliances and also includes a cellular link for communication with a cellular network. Only the central hub can communicate with the Internet via the cellular link. User equipment (UE) contains an application program that works in conjunction with the central hub to control the appliances. Commands generated by the UE are sent either directly to the central hub or via the mesh network. Upon receipt of an authenticated command, the central hub propagates commands via the short-range wireless mesh network to the intended network appliance either directly or via the mesh network.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Mobilitie, LLCInventors: Gary Bernard Jabara, Shah J.
