Publication number: 20230179704Abstract: Systems and processes for integrating a digital assistant with telephony are provided. For example, an incoming call may be received, from a caller, at an electronic device. A communication session may be established between the caller and the digital assistant of the electronic device. In accordance with a determination that the identification of the caller is unknown, determination is made whether the caller corresponds to an automated calling system. In accordance with a determination that the identification of the caller is known, a response is provided by the digital assistant to the caller. An output including information corresponding to the communication is provided at the electronic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2023Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Madhusudan CHINTHAKUNTA, Ping Wen ONG, Timothy S. PAEK, Lauren Elise TAPPANA, Marcel VAN OS

Patent number: 8966141Abstract: A wire adapter in a Wireless Universal Serial Bus configuration includes endpoints bound to communication constructs for communicating with discrete identified endpoints of downstream devices. A Virtual Pipe system is provided for the wire adapter to manage the communications pathways between a host and a downstream device connected to the wire adapter. The system provides for establishing data pathways through previously unused endpoints in the wire adapter.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2008Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Realtek Semiconductor Corp.Inventor: Ping-Wen Ong

Patent number: 8402010Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for providing persistent storage of Web resources. Uniform Resource Locators (“URLs”) that identify Web resources are augmented to include a time stamp. A web browser and a web server are disclosed that accommodate a time stamp parameter and allow a user to refer to any Web address with a precise target date. The persistent Web servers (i) receive URLs containing a time stamp, (ii) extract the time stamp, (iii) retrieve the correct Web page from the archive, and (iv) return the requested page to the client. The persistent Web servers include a persistent archive for storing all of the versions of Web resources that will be persistently available to Web users. A persistent domain name server (PDNS) allows a user to refer to historical Web resources.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2010Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventor: Ping Wen Ong

Patent number: 7987304Abstract: Certified Wireless USB 1.0 (CWUSB) defines two different types of association: cable association and numeric association. In the numeric association, the CWUSB host and device use a specific protocol to exchange the security information. At final stage of this information exchange, both host and device need to display a number asking user's feedback. Once this is done, both host and device will be able to generate the connection key as the shared secret for the following secured communication. One problem of this numeric association method is that device needs to be able to display the numbers. For certain class of device that has capability to display an image, there is a natural way to add this function to them. A method for this class of devices is described. Another kind of association, which is not defined in the CWUSB 1.0, is manual association. User needs only to manually type in the Connection Key coming from the CWUSB device.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2008Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Realtek Semiconductor Corp.Inventors: Turgut Aytur, Frederic Battaglia, Saurabh Garg, Batuhan Okur, Ping-Wen Ong, Venkatesh Rajendran

Patent number: 7937514Abstract: Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a Master/Salve or Host/Device system in which there is only one host and one or more devices connected by cables to the host. To connect a USB device to a different host controller (say another PC), the user unplugs the USB cable and establishes the connection physically by plugging the cable into the new host controller interface. Certified Wireless USB (CWUSB), a logical extension to the USB, preserves the USB connection model, except that the link between the host and the device is now using a wireless technology. A wireless device is usually connected to only one wireless host at a given point of time, even though several wireless hosts may be co-located in the same physical neighborhood. The connection between the wireless host and device is initiated by the device. A device usually selects a wireless host from a stored set of known hosts that have established a trusted relationship with the device.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2008Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Realtek Semiconductor Corp.Inventors: Turgut Aytur, Frederic Battaglia, Saurabh Garg, Batuhan Okur, Ping-Wen Ong, Venkatesh Rajendran

Patent number: 7865642Abstract: Certified Wireless USB 1.0 defines two different types of association: cable association and numeric association. In order to implementation these two association methods, the CWUSB device needs to have either upstream USB connector (for cable association) or display capability (for numeric association). These extra requirements make the CWUSB device bulkier (one more USB connector) and/or more expensive (extra display components). For cheap and simple CWUSB devices, we need a simpler association method that is easy and cheap to implement. In a pre-packaged total solution, which includes a host and one or more device(s), we can use pre-association to smooth the user experience. The host and device(s) are pre-associated. When an end user starts to use this solution, they do not need to worry about the association at all.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2008Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: Realtek Semiconductor Corp.Inventors: Turgut Aytur, Fred Battaglia, Saurabh Garg, Batuhan Okur, Ping-Wen Ong, Venkatesh Rajendran, Ran-Hong Yan

Uniform Resource Locators (“URLs”) that identify Web resources are augmented to include a time stamp. A web browser and a web server are disclosed that accommodate a time stamp parameter and allow a user to refer to any Web address with a precise target date. The disclosed Web browser can optionally include a mechanism to facilitate the specification of the desired date and time, or the user can manually append the time stamp to the URL indicated in the “Location” window of the browser. The persistent Web servers (i) receive URLs containing a time stamp, (ii) extract the time stamp, (iii) retrieve the correct Web page from the archive, and (iv) return the requested page to the client.
