Publication number: 20170070847Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for locating a wireless identity transmitter with a central server connected with one or more proximity broadcast receivers, such as stationary receivers or mobile devices operating as wireless receivers. The wireless identity transmitter may be a compact device configured to broadcast messages, such as through Bluetooth® advertisements, including an identification code. When within proximity, a proximity broadcast receiver may receive broadcast messages from the wireless identity transmitter and relay location information along with the wireless identity transmitter's identification code to a central server as sighting messages. The proximity broadcast receiver's own location may provide an approximate location for the wireless identity transmitter. The central server may process sighting messages, which may include signal strength information, to accurately locate the wireless identity transmitter.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2016Publication date: March 9, 2017Inventors: Steven R.

Patent number: 9173074Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for transmitting convenient messages to a recipient for rendering based on the recipient's device availabilities. A recipient's mobile device may be connected to a personal hub and/or earpiece devices configured to render various incoming communications, such as audio messages and visual messages. The incoming messages may be delivered to the recipient's mobile device and other connected devices that may render the contents of the incoming messages. A delivery confirmation message that describes the receipt and use of incoming messages may be generated and returned to a sender's computing device. In an embodiment, the recipient's devices may generate status information for describing the status of devices to a sender's computing device.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2012Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Brian F.

Publication number: 20150019320Abstract: A method and system for determining a default account in a mobile wallet of a portable computing device while providing an incentive to establish a default account in the mobile wallet includes receiving a confirmation that the mobile wallet exists in the portable computing device, such as a mobile phone. Communications may be established with the mobile wallet over a communications network so that it can be determined which financial account in the mobile wallet is the default account. Subsequently, a reward may be transmitted over the communications network if a default account matches an account of a financial service provider that is trying to determine their financial account in the mobile wallet is the default account. According to one embodiment, determining which financial account in the mobile wallet is the default account may include transmitting a request for a payment over the communications network to the portable computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2013Publication date: January 15, 2015Inventors: JOSE MENENDEZ, SHRIRAM GANESH

Publication number: 20140337098Abstract: A method and system are described for conducting a consumer survey during a checkout process at a retailer location with a consumer who is associated with a portable computing device (“PCD”). A survey ID associated with a time of purchase (“TOP”) survey is presented as a QR code to the consumer during the checkout process. Based on the survey ID, provision of a TOP survey is initiated. Survey content is selected and pushed to the PCD. The survey content may have been preselected or may be dynamically selected based on factors including, but not limited to, recognition of items being scanned during the checkout process, responses to previously pushed survey content, historical purchasing patterns of the consumer, time of day, etc. Provisioning of a TOP survey may end at the conclusion of the checkout process so that the consumer can complete payment and leave the retail location.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2013Publication date: November 13, 2014Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Shriram GANESH, Jose MENENDEZ

Publication number: 20130313579Abstract: Detectors based on such Ge(Sn) alloys of the formula Ge1-xSnx (e.g., 0<x<0.01) have increased responsivity while keeping alloy scattering to a minimum. Such small amounts of Sn are also useful for improving the performance of the recently demonstrated Ge-on-Si laser structures, since the addition of Sn monotonically reduces the separation between the direct and indirect minima in the conduction band of Ge. Thus, provided herein are Ge(Sn) alloys of the formula Ge1xSnx, wherein x is less than 0.01, wherein the alloy is optionally n-doped or p-doped; and assemblies and photodiodes comprising the same, and methods for their formation.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2011Publication date: November 28, 2013Inventors: John Kouvetakis, Richard Beeler, Jose Menendez, Radek Roucka

Publication number: 20130185214Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method that provides a merchant associated with a point of sale (“POS”) system and a consumer associated with a portable computing device (“PCD”) to complete a purchase transaction without transmitting or presenting confidential payment credentials. In an exemplary embodiment, sound is used to transmit data between the POS and the PCD. A payment request is rendered on the PCD. The consumer reviews and authorizes via a unique cryptographic signature. The merchant approves via addition of its unique cryptographic signature. A remote service in communication with the POS verifies the signatures via previously registered public keys. The transaction is then settled to a consumer account. Confirmation is returned to the POS and PCD. Advantageously, the transaction is commenced and completed without the PCD being online. Further, the consumer payment credentials are not stored on the PCD or transmitted from the PCD to the merchant POS system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2012Publication date: July 18, 2013Applicant: Firethorn Mobile Inc.Inventors: Jon Azen, Jose Menendez, Eric Kraar, Gregory G.

Publication number: 20120025212Abstract: Photodiode devices with GeSn active layers can be integrated directly on p+ Si platforms under CMOS-compatible conditions. It has been found that even minor amounts of Sn incorporation (2%) dramatically expand the range of IR detection up to at least 1750 nm and substantially increases the absorption. The corresponding photoresponse can cover of all telecommunication bands using entirely group IV materials.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2009Publication date: February 2, 2012Applicant: Arizona Board of Regents, a body corporate acting for and on behalf of Arizona State UniversityInventors: John Kouvetakis, Jose Menendez, Radek Roucka, Jay Mathews

Publication number: 20110316043Abstract: Thin group IV semiconductor structures are provided comprising a thin Si substrate and a second region formed directly on the Si substrate, where the second region comprises either (i) a Ge1-xSnx layer; or (ii) a Ge layer having a threading dislocation density of less than about 105/cm2, and the effective bandgap of the second region is less than the effective bandgap of the Si substrate. Further, methods for preparing the thin group IV semiconductor structures are provided. Such structures are useful, for example, as components of solar cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2009Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicant: Arizona Board of RegentsInventors: John Kouvetakis, Jose Menendez
