Patent number: 9686629Abstract: A remotely provisioned proxy within a wireless/mobile phone that proxies a wireless communication path between a disconnected piconet (e.g., BLUETOOTH™) device and a network resource such as a universal resource locator (URL) via a mating mobile phone. Thus, an application proxy module embodied within the mobile phone provides managed access of a piconet device connected to the mating mobile phone to remote services. A disconnected piconet device uses the full data bandwidth available to a wireless phone, without the need for the disconnected piconet device to include its own separate wireless front end, or to require use of a modem within the mobile phone. Thus, using a mobile phone with application proxy, the user need not pay for the luxury of a tethered data plan.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2015Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Telecommunication Systems, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Tsurutome, Bob Barcklay, Robert Wang

Publication number: 20160282136Abstract: A navigation device for displaying at least one point-of-Interest on a map comprises a channel set module to record a user defined channel set. The channel set includes at least one point-of-interest criteria. A channel set options module provides a user of the navigation device with an option to select the channel set. A channel set display module displays the point-of-interest criteria associated with the user selected channel set.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2016Publication date: September 29, 2016Inventors: Kevin Tsurutome, Sean Murphy, Darrell Sano

Publication number: 20160282130Abstract: A navigation device includes a predictive traffic data database to store predictive traffic data at a plurality of times and a map database to store mapping data. A mapping module calculates a route and an estimated time of traversal for a route between a beginning geographic location and an ending geographic location based on the predictive traffic data and the mapping data. A start time modification module monitors for a modification of a start time for the route, with the mapping module re-calculating the estimated time of traversal in response to the modification of the start time for the route.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2016Publication date: September 29, 2016Inventors: DARRELL SANO, KEVIN TSURUTOME

Patent number: 9400182Abstract: The accuracy of a reverse geocode for a GPS fix in a mobile phone navigation device is improved significantly by considering together the user's last known location on an original route, the elapsed time between the last known location on the original route and the latest GPS fix, and the likelihood that the user could have traveled from the last known location on the original route to one of numerous candidate locations (generated from the reverse geocode) in the elapsed time. The navigation server relies only on a GPS fix, timestamps, and a back-end routing database to provide improved or superior accuracy of reverse geocoding a GPS fix (selection of a point on a road) when a relevant user has deviated from the intended route. The reverse geocoding allows for accurate and functional re-routing capabilities.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2014Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: Telecommunication Systems, Inc.Inventors: Bob Barcklay, John Hahn, Kevin Tsurutome

Publication number: 20100094550Abstract: A navigation device includes a route determiner module to formulate a first route from a first geographic location to a second geographic location. A route presentation module presents the first route to a user of the navigation device. A side trip presentation module presents a point-of-interest to the user of said navigation device and formulates a second route to said point-of-interest. An options module presents an option, during presentation of the first route, to recalculate the first route to the second geographic location to comprise the second route.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2009Publication date: April 15, 2010Inventors: Kevin Tsurutome, Darrell Sano, Regan Gill
