Publication number: 20250119466Abstract: Systems and methods for location-based online content sharing using unique identifiers are provided. A server and a plurality of clients may be connected to one or more networks. A first client may send a shared content to the server. The first client may also send a first location of the first client as well as a unique identifier for the shared content. The server may store the shared content. A second client may request the shared content, and the request may include the unique identifier and a second location of the second client. The server may determine that the second location is within a predefined distance from the first location. Upon such determination, the server may send the shared content to the second client.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2024Publication date: April 10, 2025Applicant: Q Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Marcus Allen Thomas

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MULTI-DEVICE MEDIA BROADCASTING OR RECORDING WITH LOW-LATENCY ACTIVE CONTROL
Publication number: 20240283834Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for multi-device media broadcasting or recording with active control. A controller may preview media streams from a plurality of source devices, and may select between the streams, add processing or additional content to the streams, and provide an edited or mixed stream to one or more client or recipient devices. In many implementations, mixing or selective presentation of streams may be accomplished with little to no delay via a lightweight signaling and chunk identification change protocol. In other implementations, processing and mixing instructions may be provided to client devices, which may retrieve the streams and process them locally, reducing or eliminating delay from an intermediary processor or mixer.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2024Publication date: August 22, 2024Applicant: Q Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Marcus Allen Thomas -

Patent number: 11614961Abstract: A system includes a machine readable storage medium storing instructions and a processor to execute the instructions. The instructions include receiving a local workflow including a native action from a first user device and determining whether information to execute the native action as a cloud action is complete. In response to determining that information for the native action is complete, determining whether a comparable cloud action is available for the native action. In response to determining that a comparable cloud action is available for the native action, saving the native action as a cloud action in a cloud work-flow. In response to determining that a comparable cloud action is not available for the native action or in response to determining that information to execute the native action is not complete, saving the native action as a local action in the cloud workflow.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2018Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Marcus Allen Thomas, Steve T Breidenbach, Laurel Lasslo

Publication number: 20220317764Abstract: A method for the adaptation of a user interface based on the proximity of a plurality of computing devices connected to a network. The method includes determining, at a first client or a server, a proximity of a second client being within a predetermined range of the first client. The first client or the server determines the proximity of a second client being within a predetermined range by receiving a notification from the server, receiving a unique identifier from the second client, sensors of the first or the second client, or by determining that the location of the first client is within a predefined distance from the location of the second client. The method includes receiving, by the first client or the server, recommendations data associated with client data of the second client. The method includes adapting a user interface of the first client based on the recommendation data.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventor: Marcus Allen Thomas

Patent number: 11328724Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which are stored machine readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to access a voice command file pertaining to a data file and to send the voice command file to at least one of a server and a voice services provider, in which the voice services provider is to translate the voice command file to a workflow task message and to send the workflow task message to the server. The instructions may also cause the processor to receive the workflow task message from the server and execute a workflow task on the data file corresponding to the received workflow task message.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventor: Marcus Allen Thomas
