Publication number: 20140364080Abstract: A user, either in a vehicle with a telematics device, at a home having a computer device, using a handheld wireless device, or other type of communication device, can request services such as to repair a flat tire, unlock a locked door, repair cable television, service, etc. using the communication device. The user's communication device sends a request message over the communication network to a second server. The second server creates a request for service record and forwards the message to a first server that determines a resource to dispatch to the user's location. The first server sends resource information, including location information, to the user's device, and either the device, or a device coupled to the user's communication device, displays the current location of the service resource on a map as the resource makes its way toward the user's location.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2014Publication date: December 11, 2014Inventor: Richard E.

Publication number: 20010052019Abstract: A video mail delivery system for generating and transmitting video mail between a sender computer and a receiver computer over a communications network, such as the Internet. A video mail file containing audio and video content is recorded in a standard audio video interleave format and is then reformatted and compressed into an advanced streaming format. A video mail message window on the sender computer display enables the addition of an electronic text message to the video mail. A hyperlink to the compressed video mail file is inserted automatically into the video mail message window. When the video mail message is sent, the compressed video mail file is transmitted to a video store and forward server that stores the video mail file until it is accessed by the destination receiver computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2001Publication date: December 13, 2001Applicant: OVT, Inc.Inventors: Robert J.
