Publication number: 20200242910Abstract: Systems and methods for sharing resources between multiple processing streams are described. An example method may comprise: receiving data by an electronic display device attached to an object; determining, by the electronic display device, whether the data satisfies a criterion; responsive to determining that the data satisfies the criterion, generating a first message based on the data; wirelessly transmitting the first message to a computing device that is wirelessly connected to the electronic display device; receiving a second message from the computing device; and displaying at least one of the first message or the second message by the electronic display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: Brandon S. Laidlaw, Margaret L. Taylor, Jed Putterman

Publication number: 20200100081Abstract: A method includes identifying, by a mobile computing device associated with a user account, one or more unique identifiers. Each of the one or more unique identifiers is assigned to a corresponding electronic display device that the user account is authorized to access. The method further includes receiving, from an electronic display device that lacks a network connection, an unsolicited low energy radio signal having a first format of a unidirectional wireless communication protocol and including a unique identifier assigned to the electronic display device. Responsive to determining that the unique identifier matches at least one of the one or more unique identifiers, the method further includes establishing a wireless connection to the electronic display device using a bidirectional wireless communication protocol that is different from the unidirectional wireless communication protocol.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2019Publication date: March 26, 2020Inventors: Jed Putterman, Brandon S. Laidlaw, Margaret L. Taylor

Patent number: 10433138Abstract: A mobile computing device that lacks a network connection receives a low energy radio signal comprising a unique identifier assigned to the electronic device. The mobile computing device sends a query to a remote server computing device, the query comprising the unique identifier and information identifying a user of the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device receives a response from the remote server computing device, the response indicating that the user is authorized to access the electronic device. The mobile computing device notifies the user of a presence of the electronic device and establishes a wireless connection to the electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2018Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Medea Inc.Inventors: Jed Putterman, Brandon S. Laidlaw, Margaret L. Taylor
