  • Patent number: 12120526
    Abstract: A system to identify a non-approved mobile device includes a scanner for mobile devices. The scanner may be deployed in a vehicle or in a building to detect the location of non-approved mobile devices therein. The scanner may receive RF transmissions from mobile devices located within the range of the scanner. Such mobile devices may be located within, outside, or proximal to the vehicle or building. Based on unique identifying signals, the scanner may classify the devices as approved, non-approved, or transient. The scanner may be in data communication with data storage capacities located within the scanner or accessible through wireless communication. Approved mobile devices may scan for transmissions within their environment and relay information to the scanner.

  • Patent number: 12101431
    Abstract: A method for wireless policy enforcement of an MDM device according to the detection of a preselected state is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a software application for execution by the MDM device, such that the MDM device determines whether or not the preselected state is present. If the preselected state is present, the software application is further operable to notify an MDM server, which then pushes temporary policy controls to the MDM device. The temporary policy controls overwrite existing policy controls and remove non-whitelisted application tiles from the MDM device home screen. Non-whitelisted application tiles can be selected by the MDM administrator and can include texting functions, social media applications, and internet browsers. The preselected state can include the presence or absence of motion, a minimum speed, location, date and time, proximity to a signal source, internet connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity, and combinations of the foregoing.

  • Patent number: 7512226
    Abstract: The present invention provides speed dial capability for traditional telephones, which are coupled to a terminal adaptor to facilitate calls over a packet network. In operation, the terminal adaptor will receive a speed dial code, such as 12#, from a traditional telephone and use the speed dial code to attempt to initiate a session over the packet network. A proxy will intercept the session request, recognize the speed dial code in the session request, and access an address associated with the speed dial code. The proxy will then use the address corresponding to the speed dial code to initiate a session between the terminal adaptor and another device to facilitate the call. The terminal adaptor will provide the necessary translation between the packet network and the traditional telephony interface to which the traditional telephone is coupled.
