Publication number: 20240086061Abstract: A portable electronic device for instant messaging is disclosed. One aspect of the invention involves a graphical user interface (GUI) on a portable electronic device with a touch screen display. The GUI has a set of messages exchanged between a user of the device and another person. The set of messages are displayed in a chronological order. In response to detecting a scrolling gesture comprising a substantially vertical movement of a user contact with the touch screen display, the display of messages are scrolled in accordance with a direction of the scrolling gesture. The detecting of the scrolling gesture is substantially independent of a horizontal position of the user contact with the touch screen display.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Stephen O. LEMAY, Marcel VAN OS, Scott HERZ, Greg CHRISTIE

Patent number: 6573838Abstract: A remote-control vehicle lock-and-alarm system provides improved security against “code-grabber” devices used to detect and counterfeit the codes used by a vehicle lock-and-alarm system. Two sets of control codes are provided. One set of control codes that does not affect the security status of the lock-and-alarm system is transmitted over a maximum range, for the sake of convenience. The other set of control codes is used for critical security features which change the security status of the lock-and-alarm system and is transmitted over a much shorter range to prevent detection and counterfeiting of the control codes.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2001Date of Patent: June 3, 2003Assignee: Audivox CorporationInventor: Scott Christie

Patent number: 5898391Abstract: A vehicle alarm system includes a receiver transmitter subsystem, a G.P.S. subsystem for locating a position and a control CPU. The CPU performs a log and locate function in which it logs a first position of the vehicle once during an armed state of an alarm system and then, in response to the passage of a certain time interval, locates the position again. If the position of the vehicle has changed during the alarm of the alarm system, the vehicle's position is transmitted via the receiver/transmitter subsystem to a security response center that can then receive tracking information and locate the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1997Date of Patent: April 27, 1999Inventors: James Jefferies, D.

Patent number: 5855050Abstract: A signal transmitter for transmitting control signals is fitted to a key element so that signals can be transmitted to an operating device with which the key is used. Illustrative is the fitting of an automobile ignition key to a fob housing in which the signal transmitter is carried. The head part of an ignition key is subjected to a punching operation to shear off a first portion of the head part leaving a remaining head part portion with wings disposed laterally at opposite sides of the key shank part. Holes are drilled in the remaining head part portion and the remaining head part portion is received in an anchorage in the housing with the key shank extending through a notch in the housing. The remaining head part is then secured to the housing with screws passing through the lateral wing openings and into anchorage posts formed in the housing.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1997Date of Patent: January 5, 1999Assignee: Audiovox CorporationInventors: D. Scott Christie, Thomas Wouters
