Patent number: 11021168Abstract: Methods and systems for mitigating irritants during travel in a vehicle. The method includes determining, at a remote server, an airborne irritant is present external to the vehicle, which may involve data from the vehicle or from other nearby vehicles. The data may be direct irritant measurements by sensors or may be indirect data indicative of possible irritants. Based on the determination that the airborne irritant is likely present external to the vehicle, an irritant mitigation action is caused within the vehicle. The irritant mitigation action may include displaying a notification signaling presence of the airborne irritant, outputting an audio notification signaling presence of the airborne irritant, closing a window of the vehicle, or closing an air vent of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Neil Patrick Adams, Jeremy Lawson Kominar

Patent number: 10491998Abstract: Communication systems in a vehicle and methods of operating the same. The vehicle has a safety belt securable around a vehicle occupant. The system includes processor executable instructions for detecting, at a microphone, a first acoustic input and, in response, determining that the first acoustic input corresponds to audible speech at a speech time. The system detects vibration associated with a speaking vehicle occupant at a vibration time using a vibration sensor associated with the safety belt. The system determines whether the vibration time substantially corresponds to the speech time to identify whether the audible speech originates from the vehicle occupant on which the first safety belt is secured about. In response to identifying that the audible speech originates from the vehicle occupant associated with safety belt, the system adjusts loudspeaker output of at least one loudspeaker.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventor: Jeremy Lawson Kominar

Patent number: 10489134Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to share content. In some aspects, the electronic device receives an installation manifest for an application. The installation manifest indicates one or more resources on the electronic device that the application is configured to access. The electronic device receives resource usage information associated with the application. The resource usage information indicates how often the application uses at least one resources. A resource permission request for the application is outputted on the electronic device based on the installation manifest and the resource usage information.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2016Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Jeremy Lawson Kominar, Neil Patrick Adams

Patent number: 10445519Abstract: A computer-implemented method of confidential data input resilient against data capture includes receiving input concurrently from first and second input devices. The input from the first input device corresponds to characters. An input mode indication is determined based on the input received at the second input device and indicates at least a first character of the plurality of characters being input in a first input mode and at least a second character of the plurality of characters being input in a second input mode. An input string is formed by extracting the at least a first character input in the first input mode. An action is initiated based on the input string. The first input device may be a keyboard. The second input device may be a sensor such as a portion of a touchscreen or a fingerprint sensor. Related systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventor: Jeremy Lawson Kominar
