  • Publication number: 20240152319
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing supplemental information with a response to a command are provided herein. In some embodiments, audio data representing a spoken command may be received by a cloud-based information system. A response to the command may be retrieved from a category related to the context of the command. A supplemental information database may also be provided that is pre-populated with supplemental information related to an individual having a registered account on the cloud-based information system. In response to retrieving the response to the command, supplemental information may be selected from the supplemental information database to be appended to the response to the command. A message may then be generated including the response and the supplemental information appended thereto, which in turn may be converted into audio data representing the message, which may be sent to a voice-controlled electronic device of the individual.

  • Publication number: 20190073612
    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for progressive rendering of report results. These mechanisms and methods for progressive rendering of report results can enable embodiments to render report results in portions as they are received. The ability of embodiments to render report results in portions as they are received can enable report results to be progressively rendered such that delay is avoided Which would otherwise occur when rendering only in response to receipt of an entirety of the report results.

  • Patent number: 10200111
    Abstract: The Aircraft Mobile IP Address System provides wireless communication services to passengers who are located onboard an aircraft by storing data indicative of the individually identified wireless devices located onboard the aircraft. The System assigns a single IP address to each Point-to-Point Protocol link which connects the aircraft network to the ground-based communication network but also creates an IP subnet onboard the aircraft. The IP subnet utilizes a plurality of IP addresses for each Point-to-Point link thereby to enable each passenger wireless device to be uniquely identified with their own IP address. This is enabled since both Point-to-Point Protocol IPCP endpoints have pre-defined IP address pools and/or topology configured; each Point-to-Point Protocol endpoint can utilize a greater number of IP addresses than one per link. Such an approach does not change IPCP or other EVDO protocols/messaging but does allow this address to be directly visible to the ground-based communication network.

  • Publication number: 20160179911
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a user system to interact asynchronously with the report generator when an operation is performed on a report in the report generator. The report generator relinquishes control to the user system to perform other operations while the report generator fetches data from the multi-tenant database necessary for the operation.

  • Publication number: 20110263199
    Abstract: The present Spectrum Sharing System implements spectrum reuse between aircraft-based Air-To-Ground (ATG) communication systems and Geostationary Satellite Service systems. This is accomplished by managing the radio frequency transmissions in the volume of space in which the aircraft operates, with interference between the Spectrum Sharing System and the Geostationary Satellite Service system being reduced by implementing reversed uplink and downlink radio frequency paths in the common spectrum.
