Patent number: 10827414Abstract: A communication system allows communication between two users separated by a long distance includes a source ground station, a constellation, one or more linking-gateways, and a destination ground station. The constellation includes groups of communication devices orbiting or traveling around the earth. A first communication device of a first group of communication devices is in communication with the source ground station and receives a communication from the source ground station. The linking-gateway is in communication with at least the first and a second group of communication devices. The linking-gateway receives the communication from the first group of communication devices and sends the communication to a second communication device of the second group of communication devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Travis Roland Beals, Christopher Richard Uhlik

Patent number: 9980142Abstract: Methods and apparatus presented herein allow a non-SIM device to access a paid Wi-Fi network by having a server emulate the non-SIM device as a related SIM-enabled device to a mobile operator. The mobile operator is led to believe that the non-SIM device is the related SIM-enabled device, and thereby grants authorization to the non-SIM device to access the paid Wi-Fi network.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventor: Travis Roland Beals

Patent number: 9110663Abstract: A method uses a computing device that includes a first processor in a first, inactive state operatively coupled to a second processor in an active state. While the first processor is in the first state (301) the second processor uses sensors to determine (303) that a first condition occurred. In response to determining that the first condition has occurred, the first processor initializes (305) to a second, active state. If the first or second processor determines (311) that a second condition has occurred within a given time period (307 and 309) after the first condition occurred, the first processor performs (315) a first action such as launching a software application, capturing a digital photograph, or placing a phone call.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2014Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Julius S Gyorfi, Jagatkumar V Shah, Travis Roland Beals
