Patent number: 11212643Abstract: Methods and systems to determine a change in a location of a device relative to an initial location of the device are provided. The method includes periodically receiving a parameter of the device and determining the change in the location of the device relative to an initial location of the device based on a change in the parameter over a period of time. In an example, the method includes determining a first trend in the parameter over a first period of time, determining a second trend in the parameter over a second period of time, and determining a change in the location of the device from a first location to a second location by comparing the first trend to the second trend.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: CSC Holdings, LLCInventor: Kenneth Silver

Patent number: 10587572Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products to communicate using a synthetic Media Access Control (synMAC) addresses are provided. The method includes receiving a first message assigning a first synMAC address and a second synMAC address to the device and storing the first synMAC address and the second synMAC address in a memory. The method further includes receiving a second message and processing the second message when the second message includes the first synMAC address or the second synMAC address.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: CSC Holdings, LLCInventor: Kenneth Silver

Patent number: 10096952Abstract: A cable assembly including a first connector, a second connector, and a cable is disclosed that routes power, and/or information between devices. The cable includes a first group of one or more conductors that are mechanically connected to the first connector and the second connector to route power and/or one or more wired information communications between the devices. The cable also includes a second group of one or more that is mechanically connected to the first connector to provide one or more wireless information communications between the first device and the second device or a third device which is not mechanically connected to the cable assembly.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: CSC Holdings, LLCInventor: Kenneth Silver

Patent number: 9660955Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products to communicate using a synthetic Media Access Control (synMAC) addresses are provided. The method includes the step of receiving and storing a first message assigning a first synMAC address. The first synMAC address is distinct from a unique stored Media Access Control (MAC) address. A second message including a second synMAC address is received. The first synMAC address is compared to the stored second synMAC address. The second message is accepted and processed if the first synMAC address is equal to the second synMAC address. In another example, a first device assigns a common synthetic Media Access Control (synMAC) address to multiple devices. The first device then broadcasts a message including the common synMAC address to each of the devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2015Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: CSC Holdings, LLCInventor: Kenneth Silver

Publication number: 20070079334Abstract: Systems and methods are used to automatically resolve a conflict between a plurality of time periods of programs to be recorded in a video recorder. An input is received from a user of a plurality of programs to be recorded. It is determined whether time periods during which the plurality of programs are broadcast overlap with each other. If the time periods overlap, the overlapping period of one of the programs are automatically truncated.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2005Publication date: April 5, 2007Inventor: Kenneth Silver
