Patent number: 9277374Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus may perform operations related to delivering wireless information associating to a facility. A message is received from a first mobile device with at least a portion of the message including information associated with a physical location. Based on the message, a facility based on the physical location is identified. The message may be associated with the facility. An indication is received that a second mobile device is proximate to the facility and engaged in a message browsing mode. Based on receiving the indication, the message may be presented to the second mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2011Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Peter Michael Gits, Dale Seavey

Patent number: 8792912Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment that includes receiving a location update indicative of a position of a mobile device; determining a proximity of the mobile device to an anchor location based on the position; identifying a preference associated with the mobile device; and sending content to an output device based on the preference and the proximity. In specific implementations, the anchor location is a display device and the content is sent to the output device if the proximity is within a viewing area of the display device. Additionally, the preference can be a preferred language, where content is sent to the output device in the preferred language.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2011Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Peter Michael Gits, Mark G.

Patent number: 7945695Abstract: A message-processing agent receives an object from a space in a Scalable Infrastructure System. The message-processing agent determines the destination of the object and checks a preference setting for the destination. The message-processing agent then routes the object to its destination as determined by the preference settings, possibly altering the destination in favor of an alternate destination indicated by the preference settings.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2006Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Peter Michael Gits, Dale J. Seavey

Patent number: 7586877Abstract: A method and system to provide a notification is described. The system may comprise a first mobile device including a positioning component to determine when the first mobile device is proximate at least one predefined zone (e.g., enters, remains within or leaves the predefined zone), and a location data compiler to compile location data which includes a zone identifier corresponding to the at least one predefined zone. The first mobile device may further comprise a device identifier and a transmitter to send the location data and the device identifier to at least one recipient associated with the at least one predefined zone. The system may include a second mobile device associated with the at least one recipient and including a receiver to receive the location data from the first mobile device, and a display to display the location data and the zone identifier on the second mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2006Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Peter Michael Gits, Dale James Seavey, David J.

Patent number: 7246145Abstract: A fully distributed, scalable infrastructure, communication system. The system comprises at least on Space, at least one double agent and at least one non-space specific double agent. Devices and applications that wish to communicate with other members of the Community or outside of the Community insert objects into the Space. The Space then publishes the presence of that object to subscribed members of the community. The double agents are capable of communicating with any desired protocols on one side and the Space protocol on the other. Non-space specific agents handle routing, administrative and other tasks, such as communication between Spaces and Communities.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2000Date of Patent: July 17, 2007Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Peter Michael Gits, Dale J.

Patent number: 6775833Abstract: A method for managing a scalable infrastructure communication system. The method includes initializing the communication system with at least one space having at least one lookup service, activating a Community Service application, and using the Community Service application to manage the communication system. Managing the system includes the tasks of registering, adding and deleting entities within the communication system. The entities are services, agents, Spaces and Communities. As the system operates the Community Service application updates the Community Service application responsive to registrations, additions and deletions in the communication system, and continues to manage and update the system.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2000Date of Patent: August 10, 2004Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Peter Michael Gits, Dale J.
