Patent number: 11941969Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling a system to rapidly respond to wireless instructions being transmitted by a personal device over one of several communications networks that share a common RF medium are provided. During operation of the system, certain network communications may take priority over other network communications. Rapid response communications enable a user to communicate with the system, using the personal device, in a manner that does not collide or interfere with higher priority network communications.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2019Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Hirofumi Honjo, Prashanth Ramachandran, Mikko Sannala, Naveen Singh, Wes Calidonna, Arjuna Sivasithambaresan, Harry Tannenbaum, Scott Hong

Patent number: 10146319Abstract: Systems and methods systems and methods for altering a state of system using a remote device that processes gestures are described herein. The electronic device can communicate with the system in response to monitoring a user generated gesture or other interaction. For example, a user can wave the personal device or wave to the personal device, and in response thereto, the personal device can transmit an instruction to the system that causes it to change its operational state. Thus, embodiments discussed herein enable a user to perform remote gestures with a first device to affect the operation of a second device.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2016Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Harry Tannenbaum, Scott Hong, Hirofumi Honjo, Prashanth Ramachandran, Mikko Sannala, Naveen Singh, Wes Calidonna, Arjuna Sivasithambaresan

Patent number: 9875647Abstract: A computer system detects a trigger event, which includes detecting an unverified user within the premises. A notification is provided regarding the detected trigger event to one or more authorized users distinct from the unverified user. Further, a first user input responsive to the notification and corresponding to instructions to execute a first security protocol is received from a first authorized user of the one or more authorized users. In response to receiving the first user input, the first security protocol is executed. Executing the first security protocol includes presenting to the unverified user an authentication request and monitoring the premises for a response to the authentication request. Furthermore, executing the first security protocol includes executing or declining to execute a second security protocol based on the response to the authentication request.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2015Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Harry Tannenbaum, Scott Hong
