Patent number: 9894523Abstract: The present invention provides methods, systems and computer program products for facilitating loading, configuration and interaction of modular applications and/or modular components of an application on wireless devices such as M2M terminals. Modular elements may be connected to each other based on a system of permissions which determines which elements are permitted to access given services offered by other elements. Once connected, modular elements may communicate directly via a standardized interface.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2015Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Sierra Wireless, Inc.Inventors: Kelly Mathew Murphy, Jen T'ai Chitty, Alex Jiang, Zeljko Blazek, Andrew Hasley Watson Mitchell

Patent number: 9756085Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention provide a Peer-to-Peer (P2P, Internet Protocol (IP) telephone system. The telephone system includes a plurality of terminals coupled together via an IP network. The terminals cooperate with one another to provide telephony features without a dedicated central controller such as a PBX and/or a KSU controller. The terminals further cooperate with one another to maintain system-wide configuration data for the telephone system.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2016Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Inventors: Jen T'ai Chitty, Christopher Rose

Patent number: 9380430Abstract: Approaches for managing machine-to-machine (M2M) wireless devices are disclosed. M2M devices may be managed using broadcast messages wirelessly transmitted from a server. M2M wireless devices may be configured to utilize service classes in order to implement network access policy control. Features include per-message or per-group security; randomized delays for acknowledgements and/or network access, optionally per group or network access rule; sequence numbers and/or retransmissions for QoS; pre-defined pathname shortcuts; network access rules based on time, congestion and network events; estimates of congestion at various nodes; spreading and/or maximum wait times; default or universal service classes; application data streams mapped to service classes; and offline triggering.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2013Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Sierra Wireless, Inc.Inventors: Gustav Gerald Vos, Jen T'ai Chitty, Andrew Hasley Watson Mitchell, Philippe Frédéric Joël René Guillemette, Richard Thomas Kavanaugh

Patent number: 9374473Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide a Peer-to-Peer (P2P, Internet Protocol (IP) telephone system. The telephone system includes a plurality of terminals coupled together via an IP network. The terminals cooperate with one another to provide telephony features without a dedicated central controller such as a PBX and/or a KSU controller. The terminals may store system-wide configuration data and files referenced by the system-wide configuration data. The terminals may further determine whether the system-wide configuration data references a file that is not stored in the terminal, and requesting the file from another terminal of the telephone system in response to determining the terminal does not have a copy of the file.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2014Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: VTech Telecommunications LimitedInventors: Christopher Rose, Gerry Knopp, Jen T'ai Chitty
