Publication number: 20180204210Abstract: A virtual wallet system provides embedded controls to a merchant for association and display with merchant artifacts on a merchant interface. Merchant artifacts may include begin-of-purchase flow items such as coupons, and end-of-purchase flow item such as tickets. When the embedded control displayed on the merchant interface is selected by a user, a save artifact request is communicated to a virtual wallet server allowing the user to instantly save an instance of the merchant artifact to the user's corresponding virtual wallet account.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2018Publication date: July 19, 2018Inventors: David Butcher, Raymond Emmett Colline, II, Tia Gao, Daniel Issen, Peggy Mangot, David Singleton

Patent number: 8458024Abstract: An initiator computing device may acquire a digital coupon having a first value. The initiator computing device may share the digital coupon with a recipient computing device. An advertisement server may be notified that the initiator computing device has shared or has an intent to share the digital coupon with the recipient computing device. The advertisement server may calculate a second value associated with the digital coupon and assign the second value to the digital coupon responsive to the initiator computing device sharing the digital coupon with the recipient computing device. Further, the advertisement server may receive logging information associated with sharing the digital coupon. The logging information can facilitate monitoring the influence of the digital coupon.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2012Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Adam J. Spanky Compain, Tia Gao

Publication number: 20100171611Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved sensor-based patient monitoring and tracking. In accordance with one aspect, a method is provided for adjusting a vital sign alarm threshold of a vital status sensor as a function of a patient's GPS data, which may comprise: altitude data, velocity data, and position data. In accordance with another aspect, a method is provided for adjusting one or more alarm detection parameters based in part on a patient's calculated heart rate variability (HRV) data. According to yet another aspect, an electronic triage tag is configured to include a colored card insertion region for inserting a colored card for preventing the device from being inadvertently activated, an LCD screen and a series of LEDs for displaying the triage status of a patient (red, yellow, green, black).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2009Publication date: July 8, 2010Inventors: Tia Gao, Alexander M. Alm, Steven M. Babin, Jeffrey S. Chavis

Patent number: 7606873Abstract: Content that is stored on a remote server is distributed via a communications network. The distribution of the content, such as a document or pictures, is initiated via a properly enabled device, such as a web-enabled phone, handheld computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), or personal computer. In this manner, a website can be used as a repository for documents, and the sender is not required to have physical possession of the document to be sent or have a locally stored electronic copy of the document to be sent.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2003Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brandon Vaughn Taylor, Malcolm Haar, Tia Gao

Publication number: 20090069642Abstract: Described are patient data communication devices that may be used as wearable patient monitors. The devices are adapted to accept essentially any type of data from essentially any data source, and are reconfigurable, such that each device can determine which data inputs and outputs should be active, and can reconfigure itself based on new configuration instructions. The devices include wireless transceiver units that allow them to form networks, and particularly mesh networks, with other devices. In a mesh network, any one of the devices may serve as a data source, a data forwarder, or a data sink, and the processor of each device may determine whether data should be outputted, displayed, or processed on the local device or on a remote device in the network. Data from other devices in a mesh network may be accepted selectively, depending on the number of hops between the sending and receiving devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2008Publication date: March 12, 2009Applicant: AID Networks, LLCInventors: Tia Gao, Joel Selanikio, Leo Selavo

Publication number: 20080228045Abstract: A wireless medical monitoring system and medical monitoring devices adapted to communicate using a plurality of wireless protocols and networks. For each transmission of data, a wireless protocol or network is selected based on the properties of the available protocols and networks and the nature of the data that is to be transmitted. Thus, the medical system and devices can move seamlessly from one context and location to another. The medical devices may also include additional features, such as detection of improperly positioned or disconnected sensors and auditory and/or visual prompting of the patient to correct the problem. In some embodiments, the medical monitoring devices may comprise body area networks of individual sensors communicating and cooperating with one another wirelessly.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2008Publication date: September 18, 2008Inventors: Tia Gao, Leo Selavo
