Patent number: 11115075Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, an apparatus that controls security choke points on a personal communication device is provided. The apparatus includes a housing arranged to hold a second device. The apparatus receives a first input and classifies the first input. The apparatus then determines which of a combination of one or more sensors on the second device that the first input is directed to based on an input type classification associated with the first input. The apparatus further disables a first combination of the one or more sensors on the second device in accordance with determining that the first input corresponds to a first input type classification.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: PPIP LLCInventors: Michael Fong, Haydn Bennett Taylor, Teddy David Thomas

Patent number: 11114081Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, an apparatus that seals the audio path of an enclosed device is provided. The apparatus includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion, when mated, are arranged to enclose a device, where a surface of the second housing portion is arranged to impart pressure on the device toward the first housing portion. The apparatus further includes a first supporting portion disposed along one side of the first housing portion and arranged to support the device. The apparatus also includes a first liner disposed in the first housing portion and arranged to form a first cavity, where the first cavity is adjacent to the first supporting portion. The apparatus further includes a noise generator operable to provide noise signal stream and a first audio output device coupled to the noise generator operable to output first masking signals to the first cavity.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2020Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: PPIP LLCInventors: Michael Fong, Neric Hsin-wu Fong, Teddy David Thomas, Haydn Bennett Taylor

Patent number: 10878795Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, an apparatus for privacy protection is provided. The apparatus includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion arranged to receive and enclose one or more personal communication devices. The apparatus further includes at least one sound attenuation layer disposed in the second housing portion, the at least one sound attenuation layer absorbs sound. The apparatus also includes a noise generator to provide one or more noise signal streams and audio output device(s), which are at least partially supported by the first housing portion and coupled to the noise generator to receive the one or more noise signal streams. The audio output device(s) are operable to output noise signal based on the one or more noise signal streams and direct the noise signal at the one or more personal communication devices placed adjacent the at least one sound attenuation layer.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2019Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: PPIP, LLCInventors: Michael Fong, Neric Hsin-wu Fong, Teddy David Thomas, Haydn Bennett Taylor
