Patent number: 11949930Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure provide for dynamic delay equalization of related media signals in a media transport system. Methods include receiving a plurality of related media signals, transporting the related media signals along different media paths, calculating uncorrected propagation delays for the media paths, and delaying each of the related media signals by an amount related to the difference between the longest propagation delay (of the uncorrected propagation delays) and the uncorrected propagation delay of the related media signal/media path. Calculating the uncorrected propagation delays and delaying the related media signals may be performed in response to a change to the propagation delay of at least one of the related media signals/media paths. Additionally or alternatively, calculating the uncorrected propagation delays and delaying the related media signals may be performed while transporting the related media signals.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Biamp Systems, LLCInventors: Eugene Gurfinkel, Michael K.

Patent number: 11144875Abstract: One embodiment of a system and method for providing a communications network may include disposing a corresponding set of networked beacons associated with multiple machines positioned configured to provide consumer products to consumers. The beacons may communicate wireless signals with unique data respectively indicative of the networked beacons to a mobile device of a user locally positioned from any of the machines. The unique data may be associated with a local beacon, and cause an app being executed by the mobile device to communicate the unique data and receive content associated with the local beacon in response to the communication of the unique data.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: The Coca-Cola CompanyInventors: Meetha Kushala Nirodha Silva, Thomas Neil Garner, Michael K.

Patent number: 9934786Abstract: A system is disclosed for facilitating free form dictation, including directed dictation and constrained recognition and/or structured transcription among users having heterogeneous native (legacy) protocols for generating, transcribing, and exchanging recognized and transcribed speech. The system includes at least one system transaction manager having a “system protocol,” to receive a verified, streamed speech information request from at least one authorized user employing a first legacy user protocol. The speech information request which includes spoken text and system commands is generated using a user interface capable of bi-directional communication with the system transaction manager and supporting dictation applications, including prompts to direct user dictation in response to user system protocol commands and systems transaction manager commands.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2017Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc.Inventors: Joseph H.
