Patent number: 11164471Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling a pilot to select an automated response to an air traffic conflict alert. In accordance with one embodiment, the system includes updated displays, an updated autoflight mode control panel and high-level software logic in the autopilot, flight director and autothrottle to provide an expedited response. A mode control switch may be optionally included. In accordance with an additional option, the system may be configured to operate in a fully automated state in which the system responds automatically to the air traffic conflict event without needing the pilot to first accept the automated response before its execution.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Brian K.

Patent number: 10070282Abstract: An approach for handling undesired communication at a mobile device is disclosed. A call scoring platform detects a request for delivery of a communication from an originator to a recipient. The call scoring platform then collects data feeds from data sources associated with the communication, the originator, the recipient, or a combination thereof and based on the data feeds, a score is computed for the communication, the originator, or a combination thereof. Further, based on the computed score filtering and/or blocking of delivery of the communication to the recipient is initiated. In addition, the call scoring platform creates a personal scoring system for one or more users wherein the users may assign scores for an incoming communication.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2014Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Jo Ann Joels, Gina M. Ganley, Paul V. Hubner, Robert A. Clavenna, Abby Charfauros, Patrick J. Moran

Patent number: 9536056Abstract: An approach for machine-to-machine vertical integration with publisher-subscriber architecture is provided. The approach includes dynamically registering a plurality of sensors associated with a plurality of subscribers. The sensors are monitored as part of a sensor platform to maintain sensor data for the plurality of subscribers. Also, the sensor data are acquired from the plurality of sensors as a collective data set to determine one or more trends. The collective data set is tagged with metadata for the determined trend.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2013Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Jean F Dubois, Patrick J Moran
