Patent number: 11438084Abstract: A multiple access slotted wireless communication system comprising a plurality of terminals and a multi-access receiver is described. The multi-access receiver can decode multiple transmissions in each slot of a frame from terminals in its field of view. Each terminal has an active state for transmitting and an inactive state. After receiving acknowledgement of a successful transmission by the terminal, the terminal enters the inactive state for at least a transmission delay time. This may be the remaining time that the terminal is in the field of view of the multi-access receiver. This may be achieved by the terminal using a probability of transmission to determine whether or not to transmit in the next frame. The terminal may also be configured to select the slot in a frame, and this may be based upon information such as which slots were acknowledged. The receiver may use compression to transmit acknowledgement messages.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2020Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: Myriota Pty LtdInventors: Alexander James Grant, David Victor Lawrie Haley, Robert George McKilliam, William George Cowley, Ho Leung Chan

Publication number: 20220147303Abstract: A number of computing devices are controlled from a touchscreen display system using a Touch Intermediator Machine (TIM) receiving information indicating the location of one or more touches on a connected touchscreen panel. The TIM determines whether the pattern of touches received matches one of a pre-programmed set of interface manipulation gestures. If so, the TIM alters the user interface presented on the connected touchscreen display system depending on the gesture detected. If not, the TIM determines the connected computing device associated with the location of the touch received and updated coordinates of the touch received within an area on the touchscreen display system associated with the connected computing device. The TIM transmits information to the relevant connected computing device regarding the touch received. The computing device processes the information to determine the pattern of touches received and responds according to predetermined instructions for user interaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2022Publication date: May 12, 2022Inventors: Timothy Mark EDMONDS, William George ROOSE, Jonathan Alexander JEACOCKE
