Patent number: 11029769Abstract: A pen for use with a touch screen includes a first AC coupling circuit, a second AC coupling circuit, a sense-regulation circuit, and a response circuit. The first AC coupling circuit receives a sense signal from the touch screen. The sense-regulation circuit compares the sense signal to a reference signal to produce a comparison signal. In addition, the sense-regulation circuit generates a regulation signal based on the comparison signal, which regulates receiving of the sense signal. The response circuit generates a transmit signal based on the comparison signal and data. The second AC coupling circuit transmits the transmit signal to the touch screen.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2019Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: SigmaSense, LLC.Inventors: Michael Shawn Gray, John Christopher Price, Daniel Keith Van Ostrand, Patrick Troy Gray, Phuong Huynh, Michael Frederick David Olley

Patent number: 11012573Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for interactive voice response using a cloud-based service are disclosed. Voice input indicating interaction with an entity is received at a service provider environment. The entity is associated with an IVR data structure comprising one or more options associated with contacting the entity. The IVR data structure is selected based (at least in part) on analysis of the voice input by the service provider environment. The voice input is sent from a voice-capturing device to the service provider environment via a non-telephonic network. A contact point is selected from the IVR data structure based (at least in part) on analysis of the voice input and/or contextual information. A connection is initiated with the contact point.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Michael Hartman, Michael Frederick Kahn

Patent number: 10789566Abstract: Identifying existing orders of non-subscribers that are eligible for subscription-based shipping program features, enrolling the non-subscriber, and instructing modification of the fulfillment of the existing order based on the enrollment is described. A non-subscriber places an order for an item and a fulfillment plan is generated for the order. A determination is made whether the order is eligible for subscription-based shipping based on various factors and if eligible, the non-subscriber may subsequently be notified in a message that if she/he were a subscriber, they would have had their item by now. Analysis associated with the determination may include analysis of various possible fulfillment options that provide various mixes of factors such as inventory location, shipping cost, and available time, for example.
